Tattoo Ideas For Girls

By James C.

A lot of the tattoo designs that you can find online are geared toward guys - fierce dragons, skulls, and heavy tribal designs. When it comes to tattoo ideas for girls, though, it can be harder to find good designs that have a more feminine feeling to them. Here are some tattoo ideas for girls that may give you a jumping off point for your search.

Probably the three most common designs that girls get are flowers, butterflies and fairies. All of these tattoo designs are very feminine and can look beautiful on the female body. Just be sure when you are choosing the design to keep in mind where it will be placed on your body, how big you want it and if it is positioned to make the most of the natural curves of your body. When done correctly these girly tattoos can seem like they belong on your body instead of like they were just stuck there. Your tattoo artist should be able to advise you on size and positioning to make the most of the design that you choose.

If you are bored with the idea of flowers, butterflies or fairies or just don't want to get them because every other girl on the face of the earth who has tattoos probably has them you may want to think outside the box a little and get something unique. Tattoo designs that are a little more "manly" can also work well on girls if they are scaled down to the right size for your body.
If you don't want the design to look to harsh you can have your tattoo artist soften it a bit and give it more of a feminine feeling. Try dragons, koi fish, decorative crosses, angels or zodiac symbols.

Celestial bodies such as stars or the moon can also look really great on girls - especially if the design is either stylized a bit or if it is detailed and shaded.

If you are looking for a smaller tattoo, you can always go with an insect. Insects are great because they can either be done in a realistic style or they can be stylized to be more "cute."
Some insects that work really well as tattoos are spiders, ladybugs, bumblebees and dragonflies.
Other tattoo ideas for girls include armbands, tribal tattoos, animals, Egyptian tattoos, or tattoos done in an oriental style.

The more important thing to remember when you are choosing a tattoo design is that it should be something that has meaning to you. It doesn't matter what other people think of your tattoo design or whether it is "girly" or not as long as it holds some significance in your life and it makes you smile when you look at it. Really put some thought into what you are going to get and spend some time finding the perfect design so that you'll get a tattoo that you will truly love for the rest of your life.
