Lower Back Tattoos

Why Lower Back Tattoos are so SEXY!

Lower back tattoo designs are so damn sexy and sensual on a female. What can be more erotic than a floral tattoo design or tribal tattoo peeping out over a girls panties or bikini. Little wonder lower back tattoo designs are some of the most popular tattoos being done on females. The most popular styles are either tribal tattoo designs or floral tattoo designs. Although many people are getting lower back tattoos that have either a personal meaning or deeper meaning not just because they look hot!

Lower Back Tattoos

According to ancient beliefs the lower back is an area that has a lot of stored energy in the form of 'kundalini' so this may explain why people are naturally drawn to this area. A lot of people have reported extraordinary sensations when getting lower back tattoos done. Kundalini is a Sanskrit word whose essential meaning is circular or winding. It is also a name used in Yoga for a snake like inner energy. It is believed that this energy was stored in the lower back area.

Lower Back Tattoos

As a result a lot of females are asking for symbols such as the serpent being a symbol of the Mother Goddess. In older religions, the snake was considered benign. It represented knowledge of the unconscious, and was a feminine force. It looks as though there has been a rediscovery of this archetype in recent years as we witness a swing back to the feminine aspect.

Lower Back Tattoos

Popular lower back tattoos are the lotus flower which is rich in meaning and metaphor, the Lotus symbolises divinity, fertility and wealth. The lotus closes at night and sinks underwater. In the morning it re-emerges and blooms again. Thus the flower became a natural symbol of the sun and creation.

Lower Back Tattoos

There are so many variations of lower back tattoo designs so it shouldn't be hard to find something that "resonates" with you instead of choosing some stock standard tribal tattoo design "off the wall".

Other popular forms of lower back tattoo designs are:

Arabic lettering

Celtic tattoos

Japanese kanji lettering

Heart tattoos

Rose tattoos

Sun tattoos

Wing tattoos

Japanese Character Kanji Tattoos

2010-03-08T15:33:00.000-08:00

Kanji Tattoos

Kanji tattoos are basically ideographic characters. What this means is that each Kanji character represents a WHOLE object, idea, or meaning in a visually expressive way. Kanjis are a popular choice among those seeking Japanese style tattoo designs. With Kanji style characters, you can easily create and express nearly any meaning you want.

However, it is a good idea to keep in mind before you decide upon a tattoo that kanji is based on a different form of language and is unlike English in its construction. The written Japanese and Chinese languages are composed not of individual letters but of ideographs or pictographs. Some characters consist of more than 30 strokes.

If you don’t speak Japanese it is very hard to find characters that say what you want and are not something that will turn heads with native japanese speakers for all the wrong reasons. Kanjis are not really a traditional Japanese tattoo more a style of tattoo. If you are getting a kanji be sure that what you are getting done is not just something that means a lot to you and is going to age well but is accurate in its meaning.

The popularity of kanjis in the West shows no sign of slowing down nor has it necessarily impressed many of those who speak or read Japanese or Chinese fluently. Kanjis may look cool to non Japanese or Chinese speakers but don't always make sense to native speakers.Bottom line...

Japanese Symbol Tattoos

2010-03-08T15:24:00.000-08:00

Japanese Symbol Tattoos

Japanese tattoos are filled to the brim with symbolism. Some of the most common design motifs of Japanese tattoos include kannon, suikoden warriors and dragons. Let’s take a moment and talk a little about each of these. Kannon is a Bodhisattva of the Mahayana Buddhism. The task of the Bodhisattva is it to support humans on their way to illumination. There are Bodhisattva with several different tasks. Kannon is the Bodhisattva of sympathy and pity. In Japan Kannon is represented by a woman, usually riding a dragon. Suikoden warriors are 108 rebels who carried some tattoos. The illustrations of many different Japanese artists to the adventures of these brigands were used as tattoo flash. Especially the color woodcut series of Utagawa Kuniyoshi was gladly used which was published by the artist in the year 1827. The last motif of Japanese tattoos are of course, dragons. In Japan it is regarded as a luck bringing animal. This may be justified due to the fact that the japanese dragon is a water symbol. He lives either in the clouds, from where he climbs down during thunderstorms, or also in rivers and lakes. Any or all of the Japanese tattoo elements can also be combined with things such as lotus, cherry blossoms and snakes. The variations in this genre are appealing and endless.

Japanese Symbol Tattoos

There are several symbols associated with Japanese tattoos. These include Koi fish, snakes and dragons and they are usually the most well known. The lesser known japanese tattoos are the Hannya Masks and the Kiyo Hime which are represented by the tattoos in the photograph. Little is known by the general public about these motifs so let’s get into a small explanation of the symbols. Hannya Mask are usually thought of as demons, but these are actually terrestrial monsters. Confused human feelings like passion, jealousy or hate can transform women into these dreadful monsters, which are then bound to the earth realm. Kiyo Hime is the best known story of a Hannya demon. Her father owned a harborage in which a monk stopped each year. Over the years Kiyo Hime developed a deep love to the monk but her feelings could not be returned by him. One night Kiyo Hime confessed her love to him and it came to a controversy between the two of them and in which process Kiyo Hime enraged and the monk had to escape. He found shelter in a close monastery and hid himself under an enormous bell. In the meantime, in the intoxication of its hate love, Kiyo Hime had transformed into a demon with the body of a snake and a Hannya head. It sought out the monks hiding place and melted the bell with its fire breath, thereby causing the object of its longing a painful death. As you can see, japanese tattoos are often more then just beautiful designs but almost always carry a deeper symbolic meaning, one that is often infused with a dose of morality.

Japanese Culture Lotus Tattoos

2010-03-01T09:11:00.000-08:00

Japanese culture has always fascinated people when choosing the tattoo that they want. There are many parts of Japanese culture that can be used, for example, Japanese flowers. One of the prettiest flowers that can be used for a tattoo design is the Lotus. Used primarily for women tattoos, they range in a variety of different shades of pink, and can be tattooed on a variety of different places.

One of the most popular spots for a woman to get tattooed is her lower back. This is also one of the most popular places to put the Japanese lotus tattoo. Being mostly rounded in shape, it can be extended with beautiful vines reaching from one side of the back to another. Another place to get this tattooed is behind the shoulder. A great place for a first tattoo, behind the shoulder is a simple, elegant place to show off a tattoo that represents such femininity.

The Japanese Lotus is symbolic to new beginnings. After dealing with a rough time in life, a woman would get this tattooed to represent that she is ready to start a new chapter, or to finally move on. In ancient times, women would get this tattooed to them after the birth of their first born child. To the Japanese communities, it stands for life in general. A beautiful way to commemorate such an event, this tradition is carried on in different parts of the world even still to this day, and will continue in the future.

Japanese Koi Fish Tattoos

2010-03-01T09:06:00.000-08:00

Japanese Koi Fish Tattoos are both for men and women. They come in a lot of different colors, including black and white. Most tattoos are bright and vibrant with color, and need to be in order to attract the eye. However, the Koi tattoo is even more beautiful black and white than it is when it’s full of color. It has a lot of character and is pleasing to the eye.

The size is generally dependent on the location in cases like this, not so much the location depending on the size. On a man, this tattoo design can go on the arm or leg, sometimes even on the back. On a woman, she can have it tattooed to her wrist, lower back, even onto the back of her neck. It’s also been seen as a small tattoo shaped like a ring on one of her fingers.

The Japanese Koi tattoo symbolizes both good luck and fortune, as well as advancement and aspiration. It is said that the Koi fish brings great luck to those in need. Koi is Japanese for Carp, and actually originates in China. Legend tells how the mighty Koi swam up a waterfall to get to the top. The story enforces how aspiration to succeed can help you with difficult times you may face. This is primarily the reason Japan adopted this fish as their own, and now men and women from both places have this tattooed to bring them success, luck and hope.

Mysterious Japanese Symbol Tattoo

Japanese Symbol Tattoo

Japanese Kanji Tattoos are fast becoming the most popular tattoo design. Japanese Kanji characters are so incredibly artistic and have such mystique that it seems as though they were created ideally for the purpose of tattoos. When you think about the best qualities of a tattoo many words come to mind such as symbolic, mysterious, and meaning.

The beauty of Japanese Kanji tattoos is that each Kanji symbol is an ideographic character, which means is represents an entire object/meaning/symbol. Japanese Kanji symbols have such elaborate definition; each stroke of the symbol must be done in the correct direction and order. Japanese Kanji Tattoos can easily represent nearly any meaning you want. Words such as love, peace, freedom, strength, unity are very popular Japanese Kanji tattoos, as well as loved one's names.

It is a good idea to research your Japanese Kanji Tattoo before visiting your tattoo artist. There are several reasons for this - firstly, Kanji is a different form of language to English, and if you were to choose a Kanji sentence, the order of the words will be in different order to English. Secondly, many tattoo parlors have Japanese Kanji tattoo designs which have been altered by westerners and you will not know until it is too late. Finally, some Japanese Kanji characters have several meanings, and you may think your symbol means one thing, where in fact it means something completely different. Luckily there are websites out there that can help you get the perfect translation.

Tribal Flower Tattoo

2010-02-24T05:32:00.000-08:00

Tribal Flower Tattoo
Today tribal flower tattoo is not the monopoly of nice-looking girls. Many boys and older people are also selecting this type of design. It is also observed that many peoples includes flower in their main tribal sketch, for example including a Lilly in the background of skull or dragon design. This will enhance the overall effect and meaning of final design. Different flowers have different meanings. Rose is symbolizing love and passion but red rose has different meaning than the white rose. Similarly, lotus flower symbolizes peace. So, whenever you select the design be sure that you know the meaning of it.
Tribal Flower Tattoo
Finding the best design of tribal flower tattoo is not easy. First you have to be clear in your mind about what flower you want to be tattooed. For this study the different meanings of various flowers and then select the one that appeals you most, next depending upon your preferences and passions select the basic color. It is possible to select either single color or multicolor sketch of tribal flower tattoo.

Now look for different variations and different shapes of the flower you have selected. Best source of tribal flower tattoo designs are internet. You can browse the net for many free sketches. But if you want to select from some cool unique drawings of tribal flower then spend some money and become the member of a good website that offers unique sketches exclusively to their members.

Tattoo Schools

Tattoo Schools
Tattoo Schools
There are two schools of thought (excuse the pun), on this subject.

The first - tattooing should only be taught the old fashioned way of doing a long term apprenticeship, with no pay and filled with months of cleaning the shop, being somewhat of a slave to the working artists, and sometimes being treated in a worthless manner. You can get an idea of the process from Miami Ink. I have talked to a couple of local shop owners and not only is this their method of teaching but it usually requires a substantial fee from the apprentice. Eventually, the future artist is allowed to practice the art and progress from there....

The second - and more current approach is to actually attend a school or take a course in this popular art. These range from a quick 2 week course to months in duration. And yes, they are costly also, but the focus is on teaching the art of tattooing and using a hands-on approach. I am more familiar with this method and think it is a straight forward and valuable option to people searching a way to break in to this popular vocation. Unfortunately, some people are of the opinion this way is lame and not a reputable approach.
Tattoo Schools
I believe both approaches are valid and the idea of "tattoo schools" does not deserve the criticism it currently gets. There are a lot of people that have to work for a living and taking a course packed with instruction is their only option

Dragon Tattoo Picture

2010-02-22T00:09:00.000-08:00

Dragon Tattoo Picture

For whatever the reason, the tattoos of dragons, the fierce protectors of treasure, tend to be some of the more beautifully colored and inventive tattoo designs that one can get. My stepfather seemed to find great interest in the dragon lore. His tattoo of a dragon became an armband style - extending from under his armpit with little area between the head and the tail of the creature. Up close, one can decipher the elegant design, but, far away, the tattoo simply looks tribal in nature.

Cinema has brought a lot more tattoo lovers into the realm of the dragon. Many of these cinema events have utilized dragons as fire-breathing protectors of treasures. The movie, Dragonheart, revo9lves around a medieval time of dragons, knightly creeds, and evil kings. In order to secure a place in a dragon heaven, a dragon saves the life of a prince, who was raised by the knightly code of honor. The young man grows up, becomes king, and turns his back on the knight creed he swore to. Becoming a tyrant like his father, villagers gather, with the dragon at their side, to take down the king.

As one would expect, there is always a twist. The dragon is the last of its kind, and must be killed in order to kill the king. (Draco, the dragon, gave the prince half of his heart, and, with it, the dragon's strength to withstand death.) The knight who raised the king has become a great friend to the dragon, and Draco orders the knight to kill him.

Perhaps, after watching that movie, I've come to realize that honor tends to play an important role in dragons of all kinds. After all, if one protects a treasure with their own lives, isn't that an honor?

Let us not forget the famous fire breathing, walking lizard-like dragon - Godzilla. How many times did he rise out of the water to save the lives of the city folk? (Which I never truly understood, since Godzilla usually took out most of the town, in an effort to "save" its people.) Several other films tend to utilize the opposite roles - that of a dragon of destruction and ill intent. In both the science fictions series Stargate SG-1 and Special Unit 2, a dragon is killed after it wreaked havoc on the series characters, and kept them from finding the treasure that the dragons guarded.

One of the cutest dragons can be seen in the Shrek Trilogy. Not only does the dragon leave a smile on the faces of children and adults alike, but the offspring of donkey and dragon puts in a few laughs and endears the characters to you. No matter which way one wishes to believe a dragon's true intent is, the best way to bring it to life on a personal scale is to get you a tattoo. The choice of how you wish to let others see a dragon is up to how you want it carved upon your skin. How real is that?

Cool Tattoo Ideas

2010-02-21T16:41:00.000-08:00

It doesn't matter whether you're getting your first Tattoo or you have done it all before, but the biggest challenge is to come up with inspiration for cool tattoo ideas. The permanency of tattoos means you have to get it right first time to avoid mistakes - it's not like you can get an eraser and start again. Tattoos are for life unless you are prepared to go through, sometimes uncomfortable and very often costly, procedures to have them removed.

If you're lucky you'll have Cool Tattoo ideas that are personal to you and your life experience, which make a statement about who you are. Very often though this is not the case and people are forced to look elsewhere for ideas. Also, if you're lucky you may have a tattoo parlor on your doorstep where you can visit locally and sift through tattoo designs and discuss with the artist.

Visiting a tattoo parlor is not always possible though so most people are left with sourcing cool tattoo ideas from the Internet. The word 'tattoo' and tattoo related phrases are heavily searched via the search engines so many poor quality sites have been set up to take advantage of this. These sites usually offer poor quality tattoo designs and galleries, with unwanted advertising, which is where they generate their revenue.

There are also better quality sites offering cool tattoo ideas together with other resources and sometimes communities of like-minded individuals to exchange ideas and experiences. The better quality tattoo sites usually charge a nominal fee for access but this should be a small price to pay for a design that you can be proud of and one will stay with you for the rest of your life. Once you've had the ink done you can usually upload a photo to display your work of art and provide inspiration to others, or just to show off!

If you have an idea for a tattoo design, the better quality sites usually provide neat search features so that you can narrow down the choice depending on your initial ideas e.g. Tribal Tattoo, Back Tattoo etc. Paying a small fee for a cool tattoo idea is also a good way of increasing the chances of the design being unique, as many people will often take the easier (cheaper) option of free tattoo designs.

Despite all the quality sites available for cool tattoo ideas, if you're having any doubts or second thoughts then the chances you should not be getting a tattoo. If however you're dead set on the idea, and want to join the increasing number of people, from all walks of life, with tattoos, consider paying a little up front for quality and peace of mind.
