A decade ago, tattoos were mainly been associated with tough men. When people thought of tattoos, they often thought of bikers or rockers; people can hardly be blamed for such stereotypes, as that was what the media fed them.

Things have changed in the recent years. Now, tattoos are appreciated by many, and there is more variety in terms of people getting tattoos. Tattoos are no longer associated with just men, but many women now get tattooed. Even more refreshing is the fact that even those who call themselves girly also get tattoos; tattoos have been redefined, and now skin art can be feminine too. Not only has there been a difference in terms of gender of people getting tattooed, but there is diversity in the sense that tattoos are not restricted to rockers or bikers. There are professionals in business suits getting tattoos. This just goes to show that tattoos have transcended the supposed stereotypes of the past decade.

There is one thing still constant, though. People still need to make wise choices in terms of choosing their tattoo design. After all, the ink will stay permanently on their skin (unless people want to spend on pricey laser treatments). That being said, one who plans on getting tattooed should do a bit of research before getting inked.

Most women who decide to get tattooed choose a design that would still show their soft side. Probably one of the popular trends among women is to get lower back butterfly tattoos. This is a really a good choice for several reasons.

Getting lower back butterfly tattoos is a great way to show femininity; the butterfly has always been a symbol of beauty. Moreover, the butterfly is also a symbol of metamorphosis, thus inspiring most people to constantly overcome trials. Most women who get butterfly tattoos do so because they want to mark a significant transformation or celebrate surviving a particularly difficult trial.

The lower back is also a good spot to get a tattoo on, because that way, the tattoo is a bit discreet. The tattoo can be hidden well in an office or another formal setting, but it can be seen during casual events. This spot is great for people who do not want their tattoo to show all the time.

The butterfly design would sit well on the lower back, because the design would complement the curve of the area. Most of lower back butterfly tattoos feature the butterfly wings spreading out on the lower back.

While lower back butterfly tattoos is quite popular, women do not have to worry about getting an all too common design. A lot of tattoo artists have reinvented and played with the butterfly design, thus assuring each customer that she would get a unique tattoo.

To help women research about tattoos, there are a lot of websites that have galleries of tattoos, such as Tattoo Me Now. Moreover, these sites have a good community of tattoo enthusiasts that are willing to share their ideas with other people. Such websites can be of great help for women planning to get tattoos.
