Wild Lower Back Tribal Tattoos

Women today have been moving more toward lower back tattoos as an option for getting a tattoo while still being able to maintain a conservative lifestyle at work or with family. Lower back tribal tattoos are one option of many different patterns that can be chosen for lower back tattoos. Since the tattoos are found on the lower back, they are easily covered by conservative clothing, but are a nice 'peek-a-boo' when wearing shorter shirts or are a pretty accent to a woman's body when wearing belly shirts. There is some negativity still connected to lower back tattoos where some still consider women who get them as overly sexy, pointing to their sexuality through their tattoo. However, with the rise in popularity in lower back tattoos with more of a variety of women choosing to get them, this stereotype is fading.

Tribal Tattoos and Others

Lower back tribal tattoos are usually based on the tattoo work and designs made by tribes in Africa and by Native Americans, although there are also some that give credit to ancient Egyptian work as well. These lower back tribal tattoos usually use some thicker lines in the mix with the thinner lines and the ends of the lines usually come to more of a point. The design work is usually scrolling across the lower back so that the design points down in the center of the back and then follows the woman's back in spreading up and out toward her hips. There are some lower back tribal tattoos that even wrap around the sides to the stomach or move up the back toward the shoulder in some alternative patterns.

Besides lower back tribal tattoos, there are also lower back heart tattoos that have become popular. In some of these designs, there is simply a heart of some sort that is placed in the middle of the lower back just above the pant line. In others, the heart is a part of a greater design, becoming the centerpiece for the scrolling lines that surround it. The hearts can be colored in or remain in black or green, depending on the particular choice of the woman. There are other designs that are popular on today's market for lower back tattoos such as the butterfly or dragonfly tattoos where the body of the creature is in the center of the back and the wings fan out toward the hips. There are also other creatures that are used such as snakes, dragons, and even dolphin designs, since the lower back gives such great space for the tattoo artist to work.
