Prior to fifteen years ago, shoulder tattoos for women weren't very popular. Back then if a woman got a tattoo it was usually on the ankle, near the belly button, or on her wrist. The options for today's woman are more open than they were twenty years ago. Women are now getting tattoos in places they would have never dreamed of before, like on the back of their neck, lower back, or even their shoulders.
Shoulder tattoos are getting more and more popular with today's women. There are a wide variety of sexy tattoo designs for women to get on that especially beautiful part of the body these days, and shoulder tattoos are very diverse. They can be in different areas of the shoulder and there are a wide variety of designs that can work for any woman.
There are two areas on the shoulder that can be classified as a shoulder tattoo: on the back of the shoulder on or near the shoulder blade, and on the upper arm. Getting a tattoo on either part of the shoulder looks good, and they are both easily hidden in instances where having one is not appropriate.
Men have traditionally had more aggresshve designs on the shoulder area. Skulls, tigers, and drags are popular designs for men's shoulders and upper arms. However, women's designs are much less aggressive and more feminine and sexy. Shooting stars, dolphins, tribal designs, and zodiac symbols are all very popular designs for a woman's shoulder. They all project a different image, depending on the woman. For example, a Dolphin design give a sense of playfulness and beauty, while a woman with her zodiac on display shows that she is proud of who she is. Choosing which shoulder tattoo design is right yields a lot of choices.
Getting a tattoo on your shoulder is a little more bold than having one on the ankle or somewhere else. A shoulder tattoo, even if it's very cute, shows that the woman with it has confidence in herself. With men it's all about looking macho, but a woman having one is empowering and shows that she is not afraid to be herself, even if it's a little out of the norm. Even when it is covered up, whether for work or a social gathering, it is still on her body and the confidence having one is still reflected in how she acts. When the design is on display, it looks beautiful. The shoulder looks beautiful on its own, but a beautiful and well-placed ink can make it look that much better.
