Tattoos are rapidly growing in popularity across the United States. At one time, they were considered culturally taboo - something that only rock stars, or members of the military, or bikers, got. Would it surprise you to learn that these boundaries are breaking down? Now, many women are choosing to take the plunge and get inked, and they're often getting small feminine tattoos.
The wonderful thing about tattoos is how much individuality you can demonstrate through them. For example, a tattoo doesn't just have to be your name in plain script anymore. You can choose to embellish your initials with flowers or butterflies, or with your favorite colors. If you like elaborate cursive scripts, you can ask your tattoo artist to use one of these scripts. It's sure to accent your femininity.
Tattoos can also vary by size. If you like the idea of a tattoo, but are afraid of the potential ramifications, you still have many options. You can get a small tattoo on your back, or your foot, or your stomach - somewhere that employers, colleagues, or co-workers won't be able to see.
If you think that tattoos are not feminine, think again! A small tattoo can be a wonderful way of accenting your most feminine features. A small butterfly or rose on the small of your back can draw attention to your sensuous curves. A sun or other ring around your navel can be an incredibly sexy turn-on.
Do you consider yourself religious? If so, you can show just how important your spirituality is by getting a tattoo that represents its importance to you. Some Christian women choose to get small crosses tattooed on their bodies to remind them of Jesus' sacrifice. Some women who practice Asian religions may tattoo the yin-yang symbol to remind them of the importance of balance. Some Jewish women may tattoo the Star of David to tie them to their ancient tradition's history and lineage.
When you think about getting a tattoo, you should always do your research. Safety is the most important concern to keep in mind. Even if you're just getting a small tattoo, you are still at risk for infections, so make sure you choose a clean studio that has all the appropriate certifications. The vast majority of tattoo parlors are perfectly safe, but it's always best to be sure.
You should also meet with the artist who will be doing your tattoo before your appointment to make sure that you get exactly what you want. You should be as clear as possible about your desires, and might even want to bring a drawing to use as an example. Remember, it's your body and your money - make sure get what you pay for!
The American tattoo culture has undergone dramatic changes in the past few years. Tattooing is a game that's not just for the boys anymore. Instead, women are free to make their own choices, and more and more of them are opting for small feminine tattoos. You can truly stand out as an individual without losing your femininity.
