So you want to get a girls tattoo? The art of "inking" has been around since time began but in the early days at least the tattoos where for the men folk only. It is only recently in the few decades that tattooing women has become accepted as the norm in our society. This has been driven by our female celebrities and socialites giving the tattoo its place as a thing of beauty and something to be proud of and not hidden
In past times however any woman with a tattoo was branded as someone with low morals or a rebel against society. How times have changed with celebrity endorsement? However girls being girls still prefer girls tattoos that are feminine and they vary quite a lot from the male tattoo designs that are the norm. That is not to say that girls do not like aggressive tattoos and some get huge parts of their bodies inked but the majority get only a small tattoo and most only ever get one.
Where do you place your first tattoo?The most popular place girls get tattoos is on their back, shoulders, lower back and ankles. Chinese tattoos are also very popular on the insides of the arms and these always have a significance to the person. This could be their star sign or their date of birth or even their Childs name. Getting your lovers name tattooed on your body is not really recommended as the tattoo is for life whereas your lover could be gone in the morning and you don't want that!
