Tattoos for Women

Tattoos give a special charm and aura to a woman. Women often choose images that radiate beauty and sensuality. Most women want to highlight their sensuality, delicacy, and loving nature and choose discreet artwork for their tattoos.

In contrast to men, women opt for small images for their first tattoo, as they do not feel the need to have their entire bodies covered in tattoos.

Tattoos for Men

Men’s tattoos often depict various scenes and hold a deep philosophical meaning. Men see tattoos as a way to remind themselves about what they have been through and to express their emotions and the desire to overcome their fears and insecurities as well as to find motivation.

There are plenty of tattoo designs for men – everyone can find a design to their liking. Oftentimes, men choose images of animals, plants, symbols, phrases, patterns, and portraits.

Small Tattoos

Young women prefer small tattoos, trying to highlight their personality with the help of a minute image that carries a deep meaning for them.

While men often want to get their entire body covered in tattoos, the majority of ladies have no interest in this. Some opt for small trendy designs for their first tattoo, because they want to learn about the process, look at the tattoo artist’s skill, and get a new experience.

Popular Tattoo Placements

There are certain body parts that are often chosen as a place for a tattoo. Some want to replicate celebrities’ tattoos, others just go for the most common options. While choosing a placement, it is important to take into account your preferences and physical characteristics.

How visible will the tattoo be? For example, tattoos are not always welcome at work. If that is the case, it would be better to make sure that your tattoo can be easily hidden under clothes. There are many places on the body where the tattoo is usually covered.
How will the tattoo look on the moving parts of the body? The picture might get distorted when you move, which might look ridiculous.
Test you pain tolerance. Some parts of the body are far more sensitive to pain, including neck, face, chest, fingers, hands, ribs, feet, elbows, head, and private parts.

Arm

Arms are a popular place for tattoos and a likely place for the first tattoo. Men usually go for a sleeve tattoo, while women are satisfied with a delicate and not too flashy image.

Wrist

This is a perfect place for the first tattoo. Both men and women often get a quote that holds a deep meaning for them or a bracelet-like design. Another common design for a wrist tattoo is various landscapes that often go up to the elbow.
