There are many options for small tattoos for men. While women may choose butterflies and flowers, few men would make that choice! Women also tend to choose their tattoos based on wearing them as if they were a piece of jewelry, such as flowers tattooed around a wrist.

Men on the other hand, lean towards some type of identity symbol rather than a tattoo that is merely decorative. Read more »

From Library Journal
DeMello (formerly with Univ. of California, Davis) presents an anthropological study of tattooing and tattoo communities in North America. Both a researcher and a “tattooed person” who is married to a tattooist–both “insider and outsider,” that is–she describes the rigid hierarchies within tattoo communities (how tattooists jealously guard secrets from outsiders and newcomers) and engages in a broader analysis of tattoos as socioeconomic indicators. She looks (more…)

Tattoo as a form of expression and individuality is no longer exclusively for men. Women of today also wear tattoos as a form of fashion or a representation of who they really are. Although getting a tattoo will cause bearable pain to a person, women endure this pain order to achieve self fulfillment.

Tattoos have so many interpretation and meaning. It may be a picture of a long departed family member, a departed pet, an achievement, or even a chapter on one’s life that they don’t want to forget. For others, tattoos do not have to carry a story; they just have to look good and trendy.

Shoulder Tattoo

It seems like everyone I meet these days has a tattoo, both men and women. There are tattoos of every imaginable design; there are large tattoos that can coverpractically a person’s entire body. There are small tattoos that can easily be hidden or proudly displayed. There’s no reason today not to enjoy at least one small tattoo.

Small tattoos are very popular today for many reasons. They are perfect for first-timers to get a taste of what tattooing is all about; they can usually be completed in under an hour; and, because they are easily hidden, they are perfect for those who don’t want Mom to know!   Even employers who are loosening their standards on tattoos prefer them small and discreet.

In today’s age, tattoos are very popular, and it seems as of most people now have at least one small tattoo somewhere, hidden away waiting to be discovered. Of course, tattoos have become so widely accepted, that you’ll also often see them on exposed areas of the body, such as the wrist.  Tattoos on the wrist can still be hidden away by a piece of jewelry such as a watch, or a bangle bracelet.

There are a few things to think about when deciding to pursue a wrist tattoo. Read more »

Women today are getting a tattoo as a fashion statement. Scary tattoos and gang tattoos are things of the past. Women today get a tattoo as a body art that represents their personality. For some women, a cute and feminine tattoo design is sufficient to satisfy their fashion tattoo urges.

The most important thing to consider in getting a tattoo is that it is your own personal choice. When consulting other persons, take only their opinion if you think it is worthy of considering, otherwise, just get the tattoo.

Flower tattoos are a favorite of a lot of women. I could write an entire book about nothing but flower tattoos, as the possiblities are endless!

If you see a small tattoo on a friend and it happens to be a flower, ask her what it means, where she had it done, and if she’s happy with it. I have a friend who has a beautiful hibiscus tattoo on her right hip, in gorgeous colors of coral and red; it’s stunning. I have another friend who has a tattoo of orange blossoms on her shoulder, also quite beautiful. Read more »

Tattoos do not have to be an animal like a lion or a snake. Tattoos just have to something that you can be proud of and that you can show to other people.

Tattoo designs are plenty and that fact makes choosing the right tattoo even harder. If you have many styles and designs to choose from, you will have a hard time selecting the most beautiful and best that will suit you. If you are confused on what design to have, you can always settle in using a name.

Getting a small wrist tattoo will show just how unique you really are. Wrist tattoos aren’t as common as some other tattoos, so having one can make you really shine!

Some people opt to have a really small wrist tattoo that could be hidden under a watch or a bracelet, while others would like to make a bolder statement have a wraparound tattoo designed of flowers, or even words. Some might choose a vine tattoo or even barbed wire as a complete wraparound wrist tattoo. Read more »

Many celebrities and the rich and famous in the spotlight types are now seen flashing exotic tattoos on various body parts. Not only are the female celebrities showing off tattoos, but also the men are seen with tattoos, as they have become totally acceptable in today’s society.

Women often prefer tattoos crafted from Celtic designs, stunning butterflies or colorful exotic blooms. Typically they will consist of delicate, feminine lines and not be quite so masculine looking as men prefer. Read more »

Review“Unique in its focused study of the image-object of tattoos, Tattoos in American Visual Culture masterfully analyzes a range of ‘texts’–from flash books to parlor spaces to human bodies–in order to advance an original and provocative argument about the ‘performance of performativity.’ As an interdisciplinary meeting of ethnography, textual/rhetorical studies, performance studies, and visual culture, Fenske’s account of the tattoo will not only appeal to scholars and (more…)
