The Best Female Tattoo Designs



Some women lean towards a more feminine tattoo design while some of the younger female ink lovers are making more trendy choices that were at one time thought of "guys" skin art. Choices are expanding to bolder styles, larger pieces and in more publicly visible locations.

Even though tattoos are more accepted than ever, that rule does not apply across the board. So if you are a young girl just starting in the work force you may be smart to choose locations that can be concealed if required. Until you are absolutely certain of your career, I would recommend making choices of your body that can be covered up if necessary for your work life.

If you are absolutely determined to have a more visible tattoo, I would then suggest an acceptable choice - mainstream acceptable - for instance, a potential employer may be more likely to hire someone with a pretty flower tattoo but may be socially shocked if you had a skull with a knife protruding through the top. Use some discretion and smarts when it comes to the choices you make.
