40+ Spine Tattoo Ideas for Women

Touch of Delicateness

Tattoos, although are very versatile, are usually associated with men. It’s stereotyping but it is what the common folks would think about. They would be thinking of those rugged and macho designs that we commonly see on rugged and macho men on TV shows with muscles bulging and filled with tattoos from head to toe. Popular culture has given us that image and it has stayed for a while with most of us.

However, these tattoos aren’t just for men. Nowadays, more and more people are opening up to the culture of getting a tattoo. These aren’t just for tradition or to show you are tough, these aren’t just designs made for hard men. These tattoos tell stories and show support for various causes. These tattoos have now become a part of the world of art as it should be long time ago. Now, women could be able to enjoy delicate tattoos that show off their femininity.

There are many designs to choose from; some are more delicate while others can show your inner strength. Some are abstract with hidden stories while some show the message clear as spring water. But the best of these designs are those that you know will speak for you, no matter what gender and age group you belong.

Spine Tattoos for Women

Spine tattoos have become a popular choice for women. Spine is a really fragile part of the human body. It’s right in the middle of our back from the top of the neck down to our buttocks. Once it snaps, it could either kill us or paralyze us. Seeing as how important the spine is as well as how delicate it can be, it’s the perfect spot for tattoos on women. The placement could mean totally relay how strong but fragile you are.

But if you are not someone who likes to give cryptic messages, then the spinal area is still a great place for tattoos. When you want discretion either for work or school, you can totally hide it with your clothes. But you can flaunt it with bareback clothes when it’s casual days or you can show parts of it.

If you have been thinking of getting a cool and unique tattoo, why not go for a spine tattoo? Here are some gorgeous inspirations for ladies out there (who knows, you guys might want one, too)!
