After tattoos became the norm in modern society, very few women got tattoos, and only those that did were in the minority and were seen as rebellious.
Around 20 years ago getting a tattoo became more acceptable, and this was attributed to celebrities who started getting tattoos and displaying them in public. Some of theses celebrities were women and so the tattoo became more acceptable on females.
A tattoo today is seen more like a fashion item, just like a pair of earrings and a handbag. A tattoo on a woman is seen as sexy and intriguing, and is no longer shocking. People don’t judge a woman’s character based on whether they have a few tattoos on their body.
Some of the most popular tattoo designs for women are: Butterfly tattoos, Tribal tattoos, Star Tattoos, Flower tattoos, Fairy tattoos, Heart tattoos, Dragonfly tattoos, Dolphin Tattoos, Celtic tattoos, Zodiac tattoos.
Sometimes women will get tattoos that are more suited to males, but they are modified to suit females. For example, a woman might choose to get a dragon tattoo, but have it coloured in a way that looks more feminine. Some women get flames, but have them colored in pink and purple instead of red and yellow. Other designs might be skull designs that have flowers incorporated into the design.
In future posts we will explore the meanings behind different tattoos for women.
