Con's of a Girl Back Tattoo

Getting a girl back tattoo involves deciding not only what design to choose, where to place it, but also how both of those elements combined can embrace ones own femaleness and personality. I'll focus here on the placement of a girl back tattoo.

Where to get a girl back tattoo? The most common placement for a girl back tattoo has been in the center lower back area, right above, or even in line with, the waist line. With low cut jeans being the latest fad, and tight tees that hike up above the belly button, the lower center area has been an ideal place to display your girl back tattoo.

Pro's of getting a "low-center" girl back tattoo:

-Displaying is ideal with todays clothing trend. The tattoo is both slightly subtle and yet very noticeable when one does see it. For instance many males have gotten "reverse forearm" tattoos in which their tattoo is placed on the underside of the forearm as opposed to the front, more noticeable area. This is both slightly subtle, as first glance you may not see it, but also its not hidden and very visible once one visually zero's in on it. A girl back tattoo placed in the low center area has the same advantages.

Con's of getting a "low-center" girl back tattoo:

-It's unoriginal. Unfortunately the ''lower center" girl back tattoo has been heavily played out. Many girls have followed the trend, and hence it has become more of a fad than an original idea for placement. Tattoos as a whole have become so common that it remains a struggle to find original angles to approach when it comes to both design and placement. Slang terms such as "tramp stamp" have begun to emerge for females donning a girl back tattoo in the low-center area. Some have said in 40 years that slang term will be replaced by "gramp stamp" playing on the notion that the plethora of elderly women who will still be donning the permanent girl back tattoo art in their later years. The popularity and common placement of lower center girl back tattoo lends itself to this type of slang creation.

-Another obvious disadvantage with a low center girl back tattoo is the fact that you are unable to visually see your tattoo, unless you look in a mirror. This is of course the case with all back tattoo's, and if one would like to view their body art frequently, without a mirror, they should consider placement elsewhere.

Possible alternatives:

-If one is absolutely dead set on the low center girl back tattoo, believes that area of permanent placement is right for them, and is content within themselves to rise above slang labels and such, then they should go for it. Other options could include a more unique lower back placement, such as off to one side, or even on the side of the body above the hips. This enables the individual to view their tattoo without the assistance of a mirror. Naturally five years from now a trend could emerge for side hip tattoos, but for now it remains a not very common placement area, and an alternative area for a typical girl back tattoo.

-Another option for the low center girl back tattoo, is to choose a design that is more mural-like, as opposed to a single object like a butterfly or rose. This somewhat lifts you out of the common trend of the single girl back tattoo placed low and center. And the potentiality exists for stretching the design across the back, instead of just centered in the middle.

Japanese Kanji Tattoos

The method of inserting permanent ink into the epidermal layer has gained great prominence. Yes, Tattooing has become a drug of choice for the present age. You might argue that it is an addiction generally confined to youth but statistics suggest that even the middle-aged men and women are getting increasingly game to it.

Japanese tattoos have always been a rage. They offer a mélange of characters, symbols and images to catch the effect of ink on the skin. Japanese kanji tattoos have earned great repute for themselves and the kind of recognition they are receiving seems quite well deserved.

What Is Kanji?
At the root, Kanji are a part of the present-day writing system of Japan and comprise logographic Chinese characters. While Japanese kanji remains to be, at least intrinsically, the same as Chinese Han characters or Chinese Hanzi, a few fresh aspects have been introduced that have given it a Japanese identity as well. For instance, new Japanese symbols have been incorporated and many characters have got interpreted in a different way. Japanese kanji tattoo is a way to express yourself and still have the liberty to remain undeciphered many a times.

The Mystique of Kanji

Mystique is an essential part of tattooing and kanji provides it amply. Some of the tougher interpretations of kanji cannot even be understood by Japanese people, if they have not rigorously studied the art of deciphering Chinese character and symbol codes. However, things keep becoming easier as you keep learning that "Heiwa" is peace, "Sonkei" is respect, "Meiyo" is honor and so on.

Benefiting from Avant Garde Tools
The introduction of state-of-art tools and techniques have ensured that designs and impressions that had been impossible to achieve in past have become a part of tattooing consciousness today. In a befitting departure from trend, the tattoo-seekers have become highly experimental. They do not mind the most bizarre impressions and do not think twice before offering any part of their body to a tattoo master.

Top Artists Understand the Unsaid Language of the Medium
The world of Kaii-moji, Keisei-moji and tenchu-moji provide means for a lot of improvisation. It depends on the ability of a tattoo artist to extract maximum out of the pleasant labyrinth of characters and symbols. A fruitful idea held well by kanji can become a powerful tattoo without fail. The usage and framework of lexicon is very important for Japanese kanji and any well-regarded tattoo artist knows this. It's not a niche which can exploit the visual brilliance of graphics on your skin; it's a medium which looks towards the power of logography to gain the effect.
