Sexy Sanskrit Tattoo Designs On The Lower Back For Women
by Tim Newton on Dec.15, 2008, under Sanskrit Tattoo Designs Articles
For much of Western history, only men had tattoos. But this is the modern age of women’s equality – anything a man can do, so can a woman. More and more women are starting to get tattoos. Lower back tattoos are especially popular. Peeking out from under the jeans or bikini, both men and women find them exceptionally sexy.
There are many tattoo ideas for girls – flower tattoo designs are the most popular for the lower back. However, other subtle and delicate tattoo images are also starting to gain in popularity, for example Sanskrit tattoo designs and dreamcatcher tattoo designs.
Sanskrit Tattoo Designs For The Lower Back
Creative tattoo artists have fused the popular flower tattoos with Sanskrit tattoo designs to create some very beautiful, stylish images. The lotus flower, together with the “Om” symbol are starting to become popular.
Lotus flowers are important symbols in India. They close every night and sink under the water, then re-emerge the next morning to bloom again. The lotus flower is symbolic of the cycle of creation and destruction of the world. It also signifies the purity of one’s heart, mind and soul.
In the Hindu creation myth, the god of Creation, Brahma was born from a lotus blossom which sprang from the navel of Vishnu, the god who maintains and preserves the world. Brahma and Vishnu are two of the three highest gods, the Trimurti. Shiva is the third, the god of Destruction.
The Om symbol has long been used as the prime chant in many systems of meditation. Mystics and spiritualists consider Om to be one of the primal sounds of Creation.
When used together with the Om symbol in Sanskrit tattoo designs, the lotus flower is often drawn in a stylized manner, mainly inked in shades of blue, red and orange.
Dreamcatcher Tattoo Designs
Like Sanskrit tattoos, the dreamcatcher tattoo is a modern adaptation of an ancient, cultural tradition. The dreamcatcher comes from the American Indian tribe of the Chippewa, who tie strands of sinew in a web-like design around a small round or teardrop shaped frame. They hang the dreamcatcher as a charm to protect young children from nightmares.
Dreamcatcher tattoo designs first became popular in the pan-Indian movement of the 1960’s and 70’s, then went out of fashion. Today, these beautiful and delicate designs are making their comeback.
Lower Back Tattoos
Lower back tattoo designs are usually placed in the small of the back or on the upper part of the buttocks. When choosing the small of the back, some women prefer to have smaller tattoos offset to one side, avoiding the bony area of the spine. Many people find that tattoos around the spine sting more than tattoo in more fleshy areas of the body.
Women who are shy should avoid getting tattoos in the upper buttock area. The tattoo artist needs room to work, so the recipient cannot wear any underwear.
Flowers, especially roses, and tribal tattoo designs are still very popular for mid-sized lower back tattoos. Besides Sanskrit designs and dreamcatchers, the Celtic cross is also becoming popular with women.

Why You Should Scout Online For Your Sanskrit Tattoo Designs
by Tim Newton on Dec.06, 2008, under Sanskrit Tattoo Designs Articles
Are you looking for an interesting and uncommon tattoo design? Have you looked at Sanskrit tattoo designs? These beautiful designs are not just for religious or spiritual persons. Some celebrities have been seen with one or two Sanskrit tattoo designs tattooed on them.
Unlike tribal tattoo designs, Sanskrit tattoo designs tend to be more discreet. For example, ladies can get the “Om” symbol or a lotus flower tattooed on their lower back. Other popular Sanskrit images and symbols are the Trishula (trident) and the lotus flower with Om symbol. You can get these tattoos in different colors and arrangements.
Some of you may prefer word tattoos. Have you thought about using Sanskrit instead of plain old English? You can find websites to translate your favorite quotes into Sanskrit. Instead of an armband tattoo showing your favorite quote in English, try an armband tattoo showing that same quote in Sanskrit. Some linguists believe that Sanskrit is the mother of all languages – that you can still see the influence of Sanskrit on modern languages.
Translation from English to any other language, even Sanskrit, is as simple as 1-2-3. Just go to the website, enter your favorite quote and click the “Submit” button. Some websites can translate to more than one language, so you may need to choose your target language before submitting your request. Many people find it difficult to remember the translations in memory. Tattoo designs like these can be difficult to transcribe. It is better to print out the screen, or capture the image as a screenshot.
Modern life is very convenient. You can now find Sanskrit tattoo designs online with downloadable images. Just print out the tattoo on a color printer and show it to a nearby tattoo shop to get it done. If you prefer to create your own tattoos, just visit the galleries of tattoo online websites for inspiration. You can also go to websites like TattooFinder, BullseyeTattoos and TattooJohnny – they have a search engine which you can use to find various tattoo images like dreamcatcher tattoo designs, Japanese and Arabic letters.
You can do more than just look for tattoo images. On the better tattoo websites, you can also find a lot of other information. You can find out about different styles of tattoos. You can find different versions of the same tattoo image. You can learn where most people place their tattoos, and why. For example, why are lower back tattoos so popular with young women?
Don’t limit yourself to tattoo websites. Visit tattoo forums as well. Avid tattoo practitioners and tattoo hobbyists come together at these membership sites to talk about tattoos. They ask each other for advice, and show off their own designs. You can ask the forum members to recommend a good tattoo parlor near where you stay. Hang around these forums and you might even pick up some very cool Sanskrit tattoo designs you cannot find anywhere else.
