Girls are always asking me what tattoos they should get or what I think are the hottest tattoos for
girls. Unfortunately there is no clear cut answer simply because there are as many different types
of tattoos are there are girls. What one person might find sexy another might consider unattractive
or very unfeminine.
Certain styles of tattoos might not suit the image you want to project. For example certain work
environments may not accept highly visible tattoos even though tattoos are becoming more and
more accepted. It may be wise to hold off getting that sacred heart tattoo emblazoned across your
chest if your boss is going to flip out if (s)he sees it!
So in saying that what I hope to do in this short article is offer my insight and experience within the
tattoo industry for the past 9 or 10 years and point out the current tattoo trends and what the most
popular styles of tattoos are for girls. At the end of the day you want a tattoo that has lasting
appeal and not a tattoo that was done on a whim. If I give you some good ideas for your next
tattoo all the better...
Trends come and go. What was cool ten years ago is no longer cool. In the nineties certain types
of tattoos such as cartoon characters like Betty Boop, barbed wire armbands and dolphins were in.
Looking at them now they appear very cheesy and basic.
Tattoo art has come such a long way in the past few years even. Certain styles of tattoos have
become perennial and have risen to a point where they are getting the respect and acknowledged
they deserve for their intricacy and artistry.
Styles as diverse as Japanese tattoos, Indian/Hindu tattoos, Anime, Traditional American and
Floral designs are raising the bar higher and higher and becoming increasingly popular.
Alongside that is the fact that people are beginning to see their skin as a human canvas and not
just settling for random tattoos placed haphazardly on a part of the body that is hidden. Nowadays
more and more girls are getting larger tattoos and more of them.
This may explain the popularity of Japanese tattoos. In traditional Japanese tattoos each character
has a meaning and interacts with the other tattoo designs as part of the whole.
The same is true for Traditional American tattoos. Previously what were once done as individual
tattoos from disparate elements of American culture are now being woven into an organic and is
more like a story unfolding.
Top Five Most Popular Tattoos for Girls
Irezumi - Traditional Japanese tattoos - More and more girls are asking for large tattoo designs
such as koi fish, dragons on their hips, back and arms.
Traditional American tattoos - Old school 'Sailor Jerry' tattoos and images such as classic
American cars, pin-ups, swallows and nautical stars are becoming more popular on girls chests,
abdomen, back and legs.
Floral tattoos - So many girls are getting flower tattoos as full sleeve tattoos or covering their entire
back or legs with floral designs. Flower tattoo designs such as lotus flowers, peonies, orchids,
chrysanthemums and flowering vines are the most popular.
Anime - Japanese animation has become massive and doesn't show any sign of disappearing any
time soon. As a result Anime tattoos have become popular in the past five years or so. The only
risk with Anime tattoo is that unlike other styles will probably age much quicker even though it
looks great now.
Indian / Hindu tattoo designs - Like ancient Indian texts and spirituality being rediscovered by
people in the West since the 1960's it has been reflected in the demand for Indian tattoo designs.
They say everything old become new again.
Finally the most important decision is not to get a tattoo on a whim or choose a tattoo that you
think is cute or trendy. Give it a lot of thought. Good art should last. Think of Mona Lisa's smile...
