Tribal Lower Back Tattoo
Lower Back Tattoos - Sexy?
Lower Back Tattoos - The Female Tribal Trend
Why are they so popular?
In public, you pretty much can't swing a dead cat these days without seeing a few young females with tattoos on their lower backs. Whether they are of the tremendously popular tribal design, celtic variety, or tinkerbell-esque fairy type, they are shown on the backs of many. People often say these girls are trying to accentuate their sexuality, or that they are undersexed nymphos. You decide. Anyway, while they are considered to be sexy by some, others don't agree...
The Many Names of a Lower Back Tattoo
Perhaps it's because they are just part of pop-culture, or maybe because the women that choose to have this done do genuinely have a correlation to being sexually expressive, these particular ink designs have been called many things.
- Bullseye Tattoo
While this this term has been around for quite some time, it was popularized by Vince Vaughn in the movie The Wedding Crashers. It's best left to the imagination what one would shoot at this target...
- California License Plate
The warm weather and liberal attitude of southern California are rumored to be the contributing factors to this tattoo style's incredibly popularity there. This name refers to the absolutely ridiculous amount of these type of tattoos seen in the state.
- German - "Arschgeweih," meaning: ass antlers
Ass antlers!? I love Germany.
- Slut Tag, Tramp Stamp, Strumpet Trumpet, Bitch Tat
Undersexed nymphos? Sluts? Fashionable accessories? I'll leave it to you to decide. Obviously, the argument is subjective, butt they do offer some specific advantages over types of tattoos. (Pun Intended)

Why should I get one done?
There are several specific advantages to getting a lower back tattoo.
G.W. said it best: Strategery. Depending on what type of shirt and pants combo, a lower back design can be strategically hidden during important work functions. A quick change of clothes transforms the formerly professional business person to a party vixen.
Tattoo Stamina? Ink in this particular region is not subject to stretching and growing with weight loss and gain. For this reason these designs hold their shape and color much better than say a belly-button tattoo.
Yes, but can I still get an epidural? Actually yes, most doctors will advise you not to get ink done if you're pregnant because of the stress and stretch problems, but it is no problem for pregnant mothers with these tattoos to get the "big shot" in the spine during childbirth.
