Lower Back Tribal Tattoos

Lower back tribal tattoos have become an expression of beliefs along with a sexy way to decorate a woman’s back. Located just above the jeans, perhaps a lower back tribal tattoo brings the attention to the curviest portions of a woman’s body making it a definite attention grabber.

On the other hand, the sexy curves and graceful lines make for a perfect landscape for the lower back tribal tattoo. When you combine the small of the back with a beautifully created adornment, you get a sexy, cute, somewhat innocent look with a bad girl flair; most men’s dream. Most lower back tribal tattoos are purposely designed to flatter the small hour glass shape of the woman’s body leading the man’s eyes to the unknown areas covered by tight fitting jeans. Lower back tribal tattoos are becoming more popular and women are getting inked in that area in ages that range from teenagers to middle aged and successful women. With that said, many times a lower back tribal tattoo has much more personal meaning to the person wearing it than the sexy image it creates.

Lower back tribal tattoos can represent a personal belief. Tribal tattoos in general date back to ancient societies and could symbolize social status, the passage into adulthood, wealth and religious beliefs. One may have ancestry that used a particular tribal image while another may get inked in remembrance of a deceased friend or family member. The lower back tribal tattoo could easily accomplish both while being placed in one of the most attractive spots on the body. In the examples above, the tribal image would have personal meaning to the decedent of a tribe while the opposing example may be the same image that was tattooed on the deceased loved one. While this is only a couple of examples of the meaning of a tattoo, there are literally thousands of symbolic messages that could have great personal relevance. While the tattoo doesn’t have to have personal relevance, it does help to create an image that will be appreciated for a lifetime. 

Today, the lower back tribal tattoo represents a social status in many ways. The lower back tribal tattoo placed on a woman could represent the liberation of women. Additionally, the lower back tribal tattoo has a certain equality messages that women are in fact equal to men while maintaining feminism. The lower back tribal tattoo shows that women can get inked just like men but do so in a sexy way that attracts their equal counterparts. Lastly, the lower back tribal tattoo receives attention that is sometimes negative. It can portray that the woman who has it likes to party, have a good time, perhaps single and definitely available. In a derogatory way, it could be referred to as a tramp stamp meaning that the girl is easy. While this is certainly not always the case or even the rule of thumb, the lower back tribal tattoo is looked at as a social classification in many instances.

The important thing to remember is that the image that you chose today will be with you forever. While it is sexy, attractive and definitely leads the man’s mind to places you may want it to go, it will still be there through child baring years. That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t get one inked, but you should use care when choosing the artwork for your lower back tribal tattoo. Personally, I waited until after I was married and had our wedding theme, four red roses, intertwined with traditional tribal artwork tattooed on my lower back. For me, the symbolism was my marriage and will mean something to me for the rest of my life.
