Lower Back Tattoo Design Ideas

Lower Back Tattoo Design Ideas
Lower back tattoos are really popular, and with good reason. The lower back is a great place for a tattoo because there is a large, flat surface area, it is easy to hide if you need to and lower back tattoos just plain look great. Because it's a large area and you only have one lower back (hey, you have two arms so if you screw one up you've always got the other!) you want to be sure that you are picking the right design before you get your tattoo. Here are some lower back tattoo design ideas to get you started.

When you are looking at tattoos for your lower back you want to keep the shape of your back in mind and find something that is going to play up the shape of your body. A lot of people choose designs that dip down in the middle toward their rear which is a really sexy look. If you are thinking of doing something similar some tattoo designs that work really well for this are tribal designs, flowers, butterflies and dragonflies.

Natural Beauty of Flower Tattoo Designs

Natural Beauty of Flower Tattoo Designs
Tattoo designing has always been segregated into the two broad categories of femininity and masculinity. There are certain tattoos that ooze out feminine expressions while certain others are inclined towards all that is masculine about the world and nature. Like flowers have always been used to represent the feminine beauty and delicateness. Flower tattoo designs have always been popular especially among women, but should not be mistaken to merely represent femininity. They are also the embodiment of natures' cycle consisting of birth, life and death.

Each flower represents a different emotion, a different belief and not to mention beauty. A lotus flower is the symbol of spiritual significance whereas a rose expresses love and so on. Flower tat designs are beautiful and vary with the myriad of flowers that exist in nature. The delicateness of each petal, the soft shades, their shape and beauty can be intricately expressed and captured in the sublime body art of tattooing. Tattooing can sure bring out the best in flowers by giving it creative touches, their shapes and curves can be more defined and the colors more emboldened.

History of Tattoo Trend in Europe




History of Tattoo Trend in Europe
In the past tattoos were not very popular. People with tattoos were always surrounded by an aura of mystery and crime. This changed a lot over the last years, and by now it is bon ton to have a more or less decent tattoo. However, only few people know about the history of tattooing. The art of tattooing is almost as old as history itself. Historians found hieroglyphics which prove that already in the time of 2000 years before Christ, humankind performed the first tattoos.
Numerous tribes wanted thereby to express their clanship or their religious creed.

Cool Trend Tattoo Lettering

Tattoo lettering emerged as yet another new form of tattooing. Earlier various designs like roses, fairies etc were used as interesting designs for tattooing but the implications of it were often ignored by the people. The meanings of the intricate designs of tattoos are unknown as they do not have any proof yet their marking becomes meaningless. Yes, these tattoos are lifetime fashion but lack originality. They have been directly picked up from the past and reflected in the artwork today with minimum scope for innovation. But lettering provides wider scope for innovation because when the individual is assisting the artist in choosing a design, common brainstorming could result in the satisfaction for both of the parties.

Celestial Tattoo Designs Trend


Celestial Tattoo Designs Trend
We're going to leave the Moon out of this classification, as tattoo designs that include the earth's satellite are rather few and far between and don't really have that much significance for people. Instead, when we talk about celestial tattoo designs, we will mainly be discussing stars and our closest star - The Sun.

Perhaps it is down to the fact that our Sun is responsible for all of the life we see on this planet that may help to explain why so many people have a real fascination and respect for our nearest star. There is no denying the fact that there is more power and energy in The Sun, than there is anywhere else in our Solar System and people may like to feel that they are keeping hold of some of these powers for themselves, when they go for a Sun tattoo design.
