Women are increasingly opting for large tattoos. 'New school'
hearts, stars, roses and tribal tattoo designs on the lower
back are increasingly being asked for by females. Women are
definitely becoming more experimental in the shapes and sizes
of their designs.
Stereotypes and the stigma associated with tattoos prevented
women from feeling confident with a tattoo up until even a
decade ago. They don't want to be told what they can and cannot
do. 40 or 50 years ago 10 percent of people with tattoos were
women. Now it's close to 65 percent.
A lot of tattooists report that when musicians, especially
hip-hop artists get tattoos, there is usually an influx of
clients wanting that particular tattoo.The popularity of lower
back and stomach placement of tattoos suggests that most women
still don't want their tattoos to be too noticeable and also
a desire for a more sexual placement of the tattoo.

When it comes down to it, its what makes you feel good. Its
going to be around for quite a while so you may as well choose
a tattoo that has lasting appeal. There are so many good tattoo
designs and custom pieces a tattoo artists can do nowadays
so don't be tempted to get some cartoon character such as
Betty Boop 'off the wall' which will date really fast and
end up looking tacky.
