Getting a tattoo on a girl’s back involves deciding not only which design to choose, where to place it, but also how both elements combined can embrace one’s femininity and personality. I will focus here on the placement of a tattoo on the back of a girl.
Where to get a tattoo on a girl’s back? The most common placement for a girl’s back tattoo has been in the central area of the lower back, just above or even in line with the waist line. With low cut jeans being all the rage and skinny tops that go up above the belly button, the lower center area has been an ideal place to show off your girl’s back tattoo.
Pros of getting a tattoo on the back of a “low center” girl:
-Show is ideal with today’s clothing trend. The tattoo is slightly subtle and yet very noticeable when one looks at it. For example, many men have gotten “reverse forearm” tattoos where their tattoo is placed on the lower forearm instead of the front, which is a more noticeable area. This is a bit subtle as you might not see it at first glance, but it’s also not hidden and is very visible once one focuses visually on it. A girl’s back tattoo placed in the lower central area has the same advantages.
Cons of getting a tattoo on the back of a “low-centre” girl:
-It’s not original. Unfortunately, the “bottom center” girl’s back tattoo has been played a lot. Many girls have followed the trend and thus it has become more of a fad than an original idea for styling. Tattoos in general 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 “hobo stamp” have begun to crop up for women who get tattoos of a girl’s back in the lower center area. Some have said in 40 years that the slang term will be replaced by “grandfather stamp” which plays into the idea that the plethora of older women who will still give the girl the art of permanent back tattoo in their later years years is this kind of jargon creation.
-Another obvious disadvantage with a low center girl back tattoo is the fact that you cannot visually see your tattoo, unless you look in a mirror. This is, of course, the case with all back tattoos, and if one would like to view her body art frequently, without a mirror, one should consider placing it elsewhere.
Possible alternatives:
-If one is absolutely hellbent on the center girl lower back tattoo, thinks the permanent placement area is right for them, and is content with themselves getting past slang tags and such, then they should do it. Other options might include a more unique placement on the lower back, such as to the side, or even on the side of the body above the hips. This allows the person to see the tattoo on her without the aid of a mirror. Naturally, a trend for side hip tattoos could emerge within five years, but for now it remains a rare placement area and alternative area for a typical girl’s back tattoo.
-Another option for the lower center girl back tattoo is to choose a design that is more mural-like, rather than a single object like a butterfly or rose. This is a bit of a departure from the common trend of having a single girl back tattoo placed low and center. And there’s the ability to stretch the design across the back, instead of just centering it in the middle.
Regardless of what you choose as a placement for your girl’s back tattoo, it should ultimately be one that you can be happy with in both the short and long term. No matter where you choose your location area, a good and unique design can make a world of difference, and in any case, it is always worth doing your research to find the right one for you. One that in your eyes would look good no matter where you decide to place it.
