Tattoos are different from each other because some people use them to express their personality; some to show their love for another person and some consider them as art and the body as an empty canvas. The most common body parts used for tattooing are lower back, foot, armband, wrist, ankle, chest, and breast.

Lower back:

It's a design perfect and fitting for women who are seeking inked sex appeal with the additional benefit of being able to completely hide it when necessary.

Foot:
