female tattoos

Female tattoos, ladies tattoos or girly tattoos – in other words tattoos that are feminine in design, and therefore favored by women and girls – are becoming more and more common. For the first fifty or sixty years after tattooing became commonplace and even mainstream in modern society, few women 

got tattoos – in fact, those that did were the exception and usually a touch eccentric or rebellious.

All that changed about twenty years ago when tattooing became more socially acceptable, largely due to the many celebrities who publicly sported tattoos. Some of these were women, and so, tattoos for women became more common and acceptable. Nowadays most people find female tattoos attractive, they certainly aren't offensive anymore.

      

Tattoo Styles

Many women are physically smaller and more delicately built than men and in general. Tattoos for women are generally smaller and prettier than male tattoos because we consider smaller, more delicate things more feminine.

That doesn't mean that there are no women with large tattoos, but usually feminine tattoos are more likely to be isolated in one or two areas of the body – as accent pieces, so to speak.

Women’s tattoo designs are also less heavy, less aggressive looking compared to men's tattoos. They tend to have thinner lines, though this is a generalization rather than a rule. 

 

Here is a top 10 of tattoo designs that are popular amongst women:

1.Butterfly tattoos

 butterflies are perhaps the most popular subject for a girl tattoo. They are delicate and beautiful, and ideal as a tattoo design.

2.Tribal lower back tattoos

 these were very trendy at the beginning of this century, but were usually not very inspired or original.

3.Flower tattoos

  flowers have a natural beauty and are very feminine, it's not hard to understand why they are usually considered a girly tattoo design. Popular tattoo flowers are roses, lilies, hibiscus, lotus flowers and cherry blossom. Each flower has a deeply rooted symbolic meaning. 

4.Star tattoos

stars are one of the oldest symbols and have a strong symbolic meaning. They are universal, can be simple and small or combined with other designs, that's why they are so popular as a ladies tattoo.

5.Fairy tattoos

  fairies look like cute girls, but have a dark side and magical powers. It's not hard to see where the appeal of fairy tattoos comes from.

6.Heart tattoos

 hearts are the symbol of love and romance and have been a popular design for tattoos since the early days.

7.Dragonfly tattoos:

most women are not very fond of insects, but that's not the case with dragonflies, which are very well-liked as a tattoo design. They live in the same realm as butterflies and fairies.

8.Swallow tattoos

 these are typical old-school Sailor Jerry type of designs and became trendy again thanks to the renewed interest in all things retro.

9.Zodiac tattoos

  if you believe in astrology, having your zodiac sign tattooed is a good option.

10.Text tattoos

  tattoos of quotes, verses or phrases from the Bible are a popular choice for women. Sometimes they are combined with other design elements, but usually it's just the words, written in a nice font.
