In Loving Memory Tattoos - Keep the Memory Alive

In loving memory tattoos can help ease the pain of losing a loved one. Even if you've never been a fan of tattooing, the death of a loved one can make you rethink your opinion. What better memorial than a tattoo. You can pay tribute to that person and have a physical reminder of them with you forever. Make sure you find a unique tattoo design to espress that tribute.

Getting an in loving memory tattoo allows you to keep the lost one close. As you are sharing your tattoo with others, it gives you the chance to share memories of that person and how special they were in your life. The tattoo design could express a common interest that you had or something else that was a defining moment.

Think about your happy moments together and what will truly represent a lasting memory of that person. As you are researching the tattoo design, you can decide whether your tattoo will be something simple like a heart or cross with names or initials. Your in loving memory tattoo might be an intricate or elaborate large upper back tattoo. Whatever the design you want it to be unique and you have to find a good quality design.

An in loving memory tattoo can be placed anywhere on your body. Obviously many people place this tattoo design on their chest over their heart but there are many that are placed on the upper back. Anywhere you place it, it will be a lasting memory for you and others who view it.

Make sure it is unique. Even if you do a simple heart tattoo, you want the tattoo to be a unique design.

Heart Tattoos - The Meanings Behind The Tattoo Of Love

The heart is an enduring symbol of love that has lasted the test of time, and heart tattoos provide a special way to display that love. It has been used by many cultures throughout history, and its popularity as a tattoo design is growing year by year.

Heart Tattoos Design

The first noted group to use the symbol as a tattoo were sailors. They used the heart tat as a show of love, and to provide a connection to, their loved ones back on shore. These days the basic design has evolved significantly and now includes banners, other designs such as flowers or angels and other symbols. With a splash of color, the designs can look absolutely stunning. The beauty of the heart tattoo is that they can be used by men and women alike, and the style of the design itself can vary widely from tribal to celtic to cartoon just to name a few.

Heart tattoos look good both as a large design with other symbols, or as a small tat. The small design is popular because it can be located on many parts of the body, and depending on whether the wearer wants the tattoo to be visible it is easy for the design to be covered up. They are popular on the shoulder, bicep and arm for men, and ankles, hips, around the belly button and on the lower back for women.

Meanings

The heart tattoo is very symbolic and it can have many meanings for the people who wear them. Here are some common meanings.

The red heart symbolizes love. It is common for people to have a banner stretch across the heart with a loved ones name in the banner. What a great way to show eternal love.

Another popular theme is to combine the red heart with roses or flowers to portray love and a loving environment. For example, the rose is itself a symbol of love and passion, so the two go together well, and make a strong statement.

When heart tattoos are combined with knives, daggers or swords, this normally represents lost love, or betrayal. For example, the dagger must be used by someone close to you to be effective. Therefore, a dagger through a heart means someone you let get close has hurt you. Very symbolic.

Wings on a heart portrays a free spirit, or someone who is happy in love and is care free. New variations include hearts with other symbols such as animals or objects, to show a connection with, or love for the symbol portrayed. Other great designs that I have seen are hearts with skulls, with flames, a patriotic design with a flag of country in the design, and a heart made up of flowers. There are so many more combinations that you could use.

Where to Get Them

The next step is to check out some designs. If you are serious about getting a top quality design, it is a good idea to get one of the tattoo galleries with thousands of tattoo designs for you to choose from. Check out the free sites on the net to get ideas, but remember those are low quality designs, and thousands upon thousands see these designs everyday. You can imagine how many people will have the same designs now. As they say, you get what you pay for.

I have checked out heaps of sites while looking for my tattoo, both free and paid, and I have provided a review of the top three sites for heart tattoos.

Lower Back Tattoos - Symbols of Female Power

 

Breaking onto the tattoo scene during the late 1990's, lower back tattoos are still very popular a decade later.

Designs for lower back tattoos range from small or large symbols or designs that are placed centrally on the lower back, to large oblong designs that follow the curves of the lower back and buttocks.

Although any design can be placed on the lower back, there are some designs that are specifically created for the lower back. Some of the most popular designs incorporate flowing lines that follow the curves of the back. Common designs include flowers, tribal designs, dragons, angels, suns and hearts.

As popular as lower back tattoos are, it's disappointing to note that tattoos on the lower back have become a subject of controversy and speculation.

Lower back tattoos became popular in part because they are a powerful symbol of female sexuality. There was just something about the placement that was very intriguing both to the women who were getting them, and the men who admired them. The designs that were used swept over the curves of a woman's back, creating a surprisingly sensual appeal on an area of the body that was previously considered unimportant.

Unfortunately, there was a period of time when this new symbol of female empowerment created a huge backlash for the women who had them. Instead of merely being admired for the strength they were intended to convey, they were rumored to be a symbol of loose morals and sexual impropriety. Lower back tattoos began to be called "tramp stamps." Because of this malicious label, women who wore them suddenly found their reputations being called into question merely because of where they chose to have their body art. This was especially difficult to understand, because women who had tattoos on other areas of their body didn't experience the same type of vicious accusations.

Like female-created symbols of power throughout history, women have been able to take back lower back tattoos as symbols of strength and femininity. This was due in large part to tattoos becoming acceptable in mainstream society. Tattoos no longer need to be hidden from view except in the most corporate and conservative of environments.

Lower back tattoos are also a topic of medical controversy. There is a concern among some physicians that the ink in lower back tattoos can cause problems during epidural anesthesia, which is a common procedure to help women with pain control while giving birth.

A search of several well-known medical websites reveals that this is generally an urban legend. It should be noted that there is a theoretical possibility that if the epidural needle passes through tattoo ink that there could be some neurological complications; however, there are no reported cases of this happening. Anesthesiologists can easily avoid this theoretical possibility simply by inserting the epidural needle through an area of skin that doesn't contain tattoo ink, or making a small incision in the skin before introducing the needle.

Lower back tattoos are certainly a surprising source of controversy, from medical studies to social backlash. Regardless of that, the lower back is, and will continue to be a powerful and sensual location for body art.
