Many women are physically smaller and more delicately built than men and in
general, we consider smaller, more delicate things more feminine. That’s why
tattoos for women are generally smaller
and prettier than male tattoos.
Women’s tattoo designs are also less heavy, less aggressive looking compared to
men's tattoos. They tend to have thinner lines, though this is, of course, a
generalization rather than a rule.Here is a top 10 of the tattoo designs that are popular amongst women
- Butterfly tattoos: butterflies are perhaps the most popular subject for a girl tattoo.
- Tribal tattoos: the new tribal tattoo is popular amongst women as well as men. Women usually have them on the lower back (some call it a tramp stamp).
- Star and shooting star tattoos: stars are probably the oldest symbol, that's why they have a strong symbolic meaning. They are universal, can be simple and small or combined with other designs, that's why they are so popular as a ladies tattoo.
- Flower tattoos: flowers have a natural beauty and are very feminine, it's not hard to understand why they are considered a girly tattoo design. Popular tattoo flowers are roses, daisies, lilies, sunflowers and cherry Blossom. Each flower has a deeply rooted symbolic meaning.
- Fairy tattoos: fairies are cute girls with magical powers, so it's not hard to see where the appeal of fairy tattoos comes from.
- Heart tattoos: hearts are the symbol of love and romance and have been a popular design for tattoos since the early days.
- Dragonfly tattoos: most women are not very fond of insects, but that's not the case with dragonflies, they are very well-liked as a tattoo design. They live in the same realm as butterflies and fairies.
- Dolphin tattoos: dolphins are animals that speak to the imagination. They are mammals, just like us, and are very intelligent. Some go as far to say dolphins are more intelligent than humans.
- Celtic tattoos: these are a kind of tribal tattoos. Popular designs are crosses, spirals and Celtic knots.
- Zodiac tattoos: if you believe in astrology, having your zodiac sign tattooed is a good option.
