With the growing popularity of female tattoos there are seemingly endless tattoo ideas for girls to get inspired about. Let's talk about four types of popular female tattoo designs that women are choosing right now.

Foot Tattoos

Many women often times enjoy getting tattoos on their feet because the location is fairly discrete. This can be very important if the woman has a job that requires her to appear professional and all times. People often indicate that getting tattoos on their feet can be especially painful. You have a lot of design options to choose from, and you are only limited by your imagination.

Cross Tattoos

It's not just women who have a religious affiliation that are choosing to get cross tattoos. This particular design has become increasingly popular in recent years. You may want to consider whether or not a tattoo of this kind would be well-suited to your own personal sense of style and personality. Also take into consideration the fact that if you become religiously unaffiliated, this particular type of tattoo design may lose its appeal with you.

Lower Back Tattoos

Sadly, lower back tattoo designs have often been referred to as so-called "tramp stamps." Nothing could be further from the truth. There are a wide variety of very classy women who choose to get this type of tattoo because it's location is reasonably discreet and accentuates the female curves. Women who are particularly adventurous souls will often have humorous designs and messages incorporated into lower back tattoos -- with the primary audience being lovers who are interacting with them from behind! This is a growing trend.

Flower Tattoos

Finally, there is the ever popular flower tattoos for girls. There is nothing actually standard about this particular style of tattoo. The options are virtually limitless. One reason why flower tattoos have become increasingly popular stems in large part from the fact that they are somewhat classic and timeless.

Foot Tattoo Designs

The human body makes use of our anatomy to accomplish most tasks efficiently. Yet the human body is born plain, without decoration to bring out our personality. However, human creativity works overtime in the tattoo industry to do just that. Now, have you even considered the sex appeal of your feet? Most women consider their feet as a means of mobility of course, but sexiness gives such mobility movement and grace. A tattoo accentuates a woman's foot and assures that subtle sensuality with each step. Perhaps, you are already contemplating foot tattoo designs for women and are wondering how to best approach the subject.

When you begin your search for foot tattoo designs for women, size and imagination are your lone limitations. The foot demands a petite tattoo; nevertheless, the right tattoo can perpetuate an image larger than life. Either most tattoos shrink to size or a really well designed tattoo makes use of cropping a particular area of a design, to fit the foot just perfectly. It is important to realize, reason takes a part in fitting the design. A large tattoo with minute detailing will not shrink adequately, leaving your tattoo appearing as an ink splattering. On the other hand, a tattoo that is too small, may not accommodate the prominence you are looking for.

There is a profusion of exquisite foot tattoo designs for women. The admiration of such designs has blossomed into a mainstay. With the usual simplicity and petiteness that accompanies foot tattoos, getting one is more economical as well. It is just a matter of matching a custom design with your personality to display on your foot, whether fine and sexy or cute and adorable, foot tattoos for women offer a bounty of creative diversity.

The foot is still a rare place to see foot tattoo designs for women, however that is changing and such tattoos often leave a distinct impression to the eye of the beholder. Enlisting an expert tattoo artist for such a job is vital, especially when looking to create a lasting impression. You will want to decide exactly where on the foot the tattoo brings distinction and then have the artist place the tattoo ceremoniously. Once the artist arrives at completion, this is just the beginning. The tattoo will require regular maintenance to retain its luster and it is a necessity to bestow kindness and cleanliness upon your feet, to avoid infections.

Tattoosday Goes to Hawaii: A Floral Sneak Peak @ O'Hare, Courtesy of Jennifer

When I first booked my trip to Honolulu and saw I had a brief layover in Chicago, I challenged myself to find at least one cool tattoo at the airport.

Lucky for me, I found Jennifer from Portland, Maine, sporting this lovely hibiscus foot tattoo:


The hibiscus being the state flower of Hawai'i, I saw this as a good omen.

Jennifer explained that she based the design for this tattoo on a photo in a magazine.

Why the foot? She had one tattoo on her back and "wanted one she could see".

This floral piece was inked in about two and a half hours at Pins and Needles Tattoo at home in Portland. Work from Pins and Needles has appeared previously on Tattoosday here.

Thanks to Jennifer for humoring this traveling inkspotter and sharing her hibiscus with us here on Tattoosday!

A Little Sunshine on a Cloudy Day

I met Cristina on the R train several weeks back.

The weather was just beginning to turn cooler, and I noticed that summer had ended quickly, with no gradual diminishing of tattoo sightings, but a sudden disappearance, like shutting the light switch off in a large, bright room at midnight.

Cristina had this small, unusual tattoo on her foot:


Despite being small, I was curious to learn about this design.

Cristina explained that her husband travels a lot and that, on a whim, they each got sun tattoos while in Dallas. The designs are slightly different.


She told me her husband thought the sun tattoos were perfect for them because, he said, when they're together, he's walking on sunshine.

You can look at that as incredibly corny, incredibly romantic, or a mixture of the two. Cristina acknowledged that when she looks at her tattoo, it reminds her of what her husband said, about walking on sunshine, and that makes her laugh, which makes her happy, which can be a solace when her husband is traveling.

All from a little tattoo!

Thanks to Cristina for sharing her tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!

The Tattooed Poets Project: Rachel Mallino's Vine Entwines

Today's tattoo is from Rachel Mallino:

Rachel explains this tattoo:

"This piece was done in the summer of 2001, on a vacation to New York City. A friend and I were walking the Village together and I decided to stop at a random tattoo parlor- unfortunately, the name of the parlor escapes me. I had been playing around with the idea of getting a tattoo on my foot for several reasons, one of them being that the foot was not a popular place to have a tattoo at the time. I wanted something like a vine that symbolized my very unhealthy relationship with my mother, a subject I also write a lot about. I didn’t have anything sketched out, so I approached one of the artists and told her what I wanted. She was able to find a ready-made outline of a vine that looked similar to what I had imagined. I told her to use the outline but directed her in which direction and how I wanted the tat to wrap around my middle toe, up the foot and around my ankle. For the record: it was really painful. Artistically, I don’t think the tattoo is spectacular. Conceptually, I’m pretty pleased. People ask me all the time what it means, and I never tell them. In fact, I haven’t really told you, either."

Thanks to Rachel for sending us this tattoo.
