Getting a tattoo is a very liberating experience which shows a person's individuality, a well chosen tattoo will reflect a woman's personality or temperament. Choosing a tattoo is the hardest part of the process, getting the wrong one means having to live with that choice and there are plenty of people (not just women) who are living with designs which they wish they had not chosen.
Small feminine tattoos come with so much choice, the colors and designs can be quite overwhelming which is why most women end up with two, they could choose just one.
Have you got a design in mind? If you have you had better make sure that it's not just a passing phase, getting a tattoo of your favorite movie star or singer may seem like a good idea but what if they get some bad press later down the road or end up in prison, you will be left with their image on your body for ever. The same can be said about cartoon characters, do you really want to get to eighty years old with a tattoo of Bugs Bunny on your but? This is why making the right choice now is so important.
Look for something which you really want but also something which will remain timeless, stars, dolphins, flowers or symbols are a good choice of designs but these are only examples, it's your body and as long as you know what you're doing then, be happy with your design.
Feminine tattoos are meant to be expressive symbols so which ever design you choose, don't be afraid to show it off.
A good tattooist will advise you on the design shape and style of the tattoo before they consider drawing the tattoo, remember that they are artists and when they draw a design, they are putting their reputation and their name on you so it has to be right for both of you. This may sound a bit silly because it's your body, but tattooists know how many people change their minds later so they want it to be right the first time, so take their advice.
If you have already visited a tattoo parlor you may have already had a look through some of the many designs on display, choosing a design on the spot may be very difficult and a lot of the time you risk making the wrong choice, you are better off taking the time in the comfort of your own home to check out the designs, you could also show your friends which design you have in mind.
Some of the more popular themes for this year are as follows:
Butterflies - Dragons (highly colored) - Crosses - Fairies - Irish - Anime (instead of original cartoon characters) - Animals - Dolphins - Tribal Bands - Tribal Lower Back Tattoos
But who's to say that next year these popular designs won't completely change? This is why your choice of tattoo is so important.
When you are ready for your tattoo take a look around for a reputable artist, someone who has been in business for some time is always a good choice because their reputation is easy to trace. Look for somewhere hygienic, the last thing you want is a nasty infection which could land you in hospital. Follow all instructions for aftercare to the letter, a dirty tattoo is a breeding ground for infection, do not pick at any small scabbed tissue as you may pull out the color from underneath the tattoo.
