Lady and the Tramp Stamp – Lower Back Tattoos

One of the more contemporary terms in the business is the ‘tramp stamp. ‘ What are tramp stamps? Well, they have nothing at all to do with the US Mail or a design on a postage stamp or even the children’s classic Disney flick ‘Lady and the Tramp’.

A tramp stamp is a phrase that was coined (source unknown) to describe a tattoo that is inked on the lower back of a woman or girl. The lower back has become a popular location for women to get inked and combined with the trend of low-rise jeans has caused a stampede to the tattoo studios. It has become fashionable for girls to show off their midriffs with belly rings and piercings and their lower backs with body art tattoos.

The term tramp stamp has a derogatory connotation and should not be considered relevant when deciding to get body art. Getting a tattoo is a personal decision that has nothing to do with such a label. Another popular trend for women is to get sexy foot and ankle tattoos. There has not been any negative labeling or backlash for these locations or even the more sexually explicit areas of breasts and genitalia, although these are less common locations for tattoos – they nonetheless do invoke a more sexual connotation – and yet the lower back has received more attention.

There are many, many lower back tattoo designs to choose from. Japanese Kanji tattoo designs have become very popular in Western civilization. The beautiful flowing script is perfect for feminine tattoos. When using Kanji on the lower back many opt for the symbols to be written horizontally. There are also many masculine tribal and warrior symbols as well.

Getting a Sexy Ankle Tattoo Design Gives You the Choice of When to Show It Off

Simply putting on socks or taking them off changes your image drastically with a sexy ankle tattoo.

When you’ve made the decision to get a tattoo on the ankle, visit a few tattoo parlors in your area to see if you are comfortable with the cleanliness of the parlor and to see what custom designs they offer. Each tattoo parlor runs by their own sanitary standards since laws on them are very lax. Besides that, each tattoo artist has their own style and how one inks might not be the same way another inks. Be sure to shop around, because if you go to the wrong parlor you might come out with an ugly ankle tattoo design rather than a sexy ankle tattoo design, and that would ruin the point entirely.

Do you want your tattoo to be more cute than sexy? Or do you want it to just ooze sexiness? Different designs project a different image of your personality. Some cute sexy ankle tattoo designs for girls are: hearts, stars, musical notes, flowers, or a butterfly or two. These designs on your ankle are still sexy, but give off a more playful feel. If you want your sexiness to really shine through your ankle tattoo, Chinese characters, wrap-around vines, or a tribal design really look good. There are endless possibilities for a good sexy ankle tattoo design.

Girly Tattoos - What to Consider Before Getting One

As a girl or a young woman the most important thing for you most probably is not to be any different from your friends. You want to wear the same sort of clothes, listen to the same sort of music, like the same sort of movies, books, etc. And if many of your friends have tattoos (and your most famous celebrities) you will want to have a girly tattoo as well.

Well, tattoos got quite fashionable during the last couple of years and it is not so uncommon anymore that women and girls have tattoos also. Anyhow, even if it is a fashion, it is wise to consider that not everybody whom you will meet in the future is so tolerant and will like to look at your tattoo.

As a girl you want to be extra careful with your decision about getting a tattoo. Here are some tips what to consider before you make your final decision.

  1. Ask yourself: "Do I really want to get a tattoo because of me or is it just because everybody else has got one? Do I still want to have this tattoo when I am not 18 or 20 anymore? Will my kids like it or will it make them feel awkward having a mother with a tattoo?
  2. Think very carefully about the design you are going to pick. A girly tattoo like e.g. a cute little kitten may be a sexy accessory as long as you are young. But how about it when you will be 50 years or older? Pick a design you will feel comfortable with for very many years. And never, never, never pick the name of your boyfriend. Your boyfriend maybe gone some day, but your tattoo will stay with you forever.
  3. Where do you want to have the tattoo on your body? Pick a place which can easily be covered if necessary or is hidden underneath your clothes anyway. A tattoo should never be anything to be ashamed of but it should be something you are doing for yourself not for others. So there is not necessarily a need to show your tattoo openly all the time.
  4. Choose the right tattoo studio very carefully. If your friends already have tattoos ask them for recommendations, ask them about their experiences. But never go to a tattoo studio just because everybody else is going there. You are the one, getting a tattoo, so make sure that you will feel comfortable with the studio and the studio owner and that you can trust the people working there. Try out several different studios, ask all the questions you may have and then take your time to make your decision.
  5. Watch out for your health. Make sure the instruments and needles at the tattoo studio are new and sterile and that the person, doing the tattoo on you, is wearing gloves. Take good care of your tattoo and do as you have been told: Cover the tattoo at first, clean it thoroughly and apply lotion frequently.
  6. Tattoos for girls (as for everybody else) stay with you for a lifetime. Having a tattoo removed is very painful and very expensive and mostly the results look awful. So, think before you ink! If you are not absolutely sure about your decision, why not start with a temporary tattoo at first. Try it out for a couple of days, Find out if this is really for you - if not, you can just wash it off.

There are very many wonderful designs of tattoo for girls now and a nicely done tattoo can of course enhance the looks of a young woman. But still it remains a critical decision which should be made in a hurry.
