Stereotypes and the stigma associated with tattoos prevented women
from feeling confident with a tattoo up until even a decade ago. A
common belief was that only 'criminals, whores and homosexuals' got
tattoos is being challenged. This is further fueled by popularity of
all things 1950's and the popularity of retro vixens such as the
Suicide Girls.Women are generally more style conscious than men
so are more decerning about what tattoo they want and where on their
body they want it. Men usually just quickly pick out a tattoo on the
spur of the moment, choose a spot on their body and that's it.
Traditionally it has usually been males who got tattoos. Now the
balance seems to be swinging back the other way. It now appears that as
many females are getting tattoos as males.
According to many
tattoo artists - women are also much better than men when getting
tattooed and dealing with pain. Men like to think they are tough can
withstand the pain. But when the needle hits their skin a lot of guys
pass out in the chair. Women, on the other hand anticipate the pain and
have a higher tolerance.
So what are the most popular female
tattoos? It seems anything floral, tribal designs, lower back tattoos,
roses, old school designs and Japanese and Eastern style tattoos
designs. Every year demand for a particular tattoo design changes but
there will always be certain tattoo styles that are being requested...
