Sexy Tattoos For Women

Do tattoos look sexy on women? That's an interesting question and one which depends on the personal view of the person being asked. There is much debate on this topic and the scales are tipped on the side that they do look sexy, albeit with some provisos.

The matter of looking sexy depends on a couple of factors and there is a fine line to fitting the sexy bill and going the complete opposite direction. Research conducted on men is mixed, but by and large, the sexy factor comes into play when the tattoo is showing, but somewhat discreet rather than in your face.

Best Placement for sexy tattoos for women

Lower Back - This is a sensual part of the female body and this is the reason why this region has become extremely popular for tattooing. The great thing about a tattoo here is that it can be on display, partially hidden or kept private for just you and your partner to enjoy.

Shoulder Blade - This is normally an "out there" position for getting tattooed so you would need to be comfortable about it regularly being on display. Tattoos in this region are popular and one only has to look at Angelina Jolie to see how sexy a tattoo can be on the right person and in the right position.

Back of Neck - This is another of those sensual spots on a female and not surprisingly extremely popular for tattooing. Depending on hair length and thickness, tattoos at the back of the neck can be partly hidden adding to the intrigue and charm of a carefully designed, feminine tattoo. Research reveals that many men find tattoos in this area a real turn on.

Hip - Another sensual area starting to become more popular as many woman find that hip tattoos can go unnoticed and only displayed when it suits them. A great spot to please a partner without letting the world know that you have a tattoo.

Wrist - Becoming very popular either as a bracelet or using the underside to express one's individuality. The most common wrist tattoo is stars which, to some people represents the universe, light, hope, inspiration and love.

Ankles - If you have the legs for it, tattoos in this area can be extremely sexy. During warmer months, ankle tattoos are generally visible so just make sure that you want your tattoo to be always on show.

Obviously, the design and placement will be up to each individual. It really is a matter of knowing your own body and personality. If you are more of an introvert, it may be better being discreet perhaps showing a glimpse of the tattoo rather than draw lots of attention to yourself by the tattoo being in a prominent position. On the other hand, if you are an "out there" type of person and you have the body for it - go for it and do want turns you on.
