Features of a tattoo on the back

Tattoos on the back have a number of features that distinguish them from tattoos located on other places on the body:

Back tattoos offer a huge range of options. First of all, this is due to the large area on which the master can work. Here it is possible to make any wish of the customer come true by immediately developing a sketch with all the nuances or getting a small tattoo and then creating a story around it.
The physiological characteristics of the back allow you to create tattoos of any shape and size. Regardless of the orientation and volume, any tattoo will look organic. In addition, the surface of the back is least susceptible to age-related changes; it remains elastic and smooth for a long time. And, therefore, the tattoo will retain its shape and original appearance for a long time.
The location of the tattoo has its own nuances. Depending on the shape and color of the tattoo, it will effectively highlight advantageous places and correct physiological defects. For girls with broad shoulders, it is better to use sketches with vertical orientations and not place large objects of the drawing in the upper back. Narrow shoulders look more voluminous after applying large full-color paintings. Curved and hourglass-shaped designs along the spine will help emphasize a thin waist.
By location, each tattoo can also be made according to the individual wishes of the customer: located exclusively on the back (shoulder blades, ribs, lower back) or on other parts of the body (shoulders, buttocks, chest, stomach). The location depends not only on the chosen design, but also on the girl’s desire to hide or make the tattoo visible to others.
As for visibility, women's back tattoos, unlike men's, also have a number of features. A woman can fully show off her large-scale tattoo on the beach. By choosing the upper or lower back (the place where the main part of the tattoo or part of the design with the most significant elements will be located), you can expose the tattoo by choosing appropriate clothing in the summer. Crop tops, low-cut tops with spaghetti straps, or blouses with sheer fabric on the back. But in the cold season, such a tattoo will be hidden almost all the time by clothing.
A positive point is the ease of drawing. Working with the back is convenient for both the client and the master. After application, it will be almost impossible to treat the surface of the back yourself, and you also need to prepare for this in advance.
Back pain depends on your personal sensitivity threshold. But in some areas everyone without exception feels pain. These areas include: spine, ribs, sacrum, outer part of the shoulder blades. This is due to the close location of the bone. Correct orientation of the pattern will help reduce pain. It is advisable to place the most densely packed parts in places where there is more muscle tissue.

When choosing a place for a tattoo on the back, you need to take into account your lifestyle, tendency to be overweight and other individual characteristics. Tattoos in the lumbar and waist areas are susceptible to deformation as a result of pregnancy, weight gain and sudden weight loss. The appearance of stretch marks and loose skin can ruin even the most beautiful sketch. Tattoos on the upper back from the middle of the ribs to the shoulders are less susceptible to age-related changes and do not react as strongly to changes in the owner’s weight.

Popular styles of women's back tattoos

The back is an ideal place for do-it-yourself paintings. Large, multidimensional designs consisting of many individual dots on no other part of the body will sparkle with the same beauty as on the back. Muscle relief, body rotation and angle will each time open up the facets of the image in a new way, involuntarily drawing the eyes of others to it.

The second popular style for the back is realism. It is relevant for large-scale tattoos. Large landscapes, animals or portraits are depicted in a realistic style. For small sketches or paintings consisting of a large number of small and far apart elements, 3D images are used. The style is ideal for a flock of butterflies or birds, flying ladybugs, miniature bouquets or skulls.

Blackwork is more typical for men's back tattoos, but with the right choice of sketch and its proper placement, even this dark style will look elegant and interesting. To prevent the drawings from looking too massive, choose sketches in a graphic style.

Biomechanics is predominantly a masculine style, but recently women have been turning to it more and more often. The most common places for its implementation are the shoulders and back. In the second case, biomechanics is sometimes combined with other, more feminine styles. The result is unusual and original tattoos.

A typically feminine style is watercolor. Basically this is the style of romantic and sophisticated ladies. When watercolors are combined with strict styles, original solutions are obtained that are moderately infantile and do not cross the threshold of brutality characteristic of men.

Contrary to popular belief, Japanese-style tattoos in the European part of the mainland are most often applied by women. Multi-colored dragons and cherry blossoms are among the most popular subjects for women's back tattoos. Neo-traditional is steadily gaining popularity and the best place for it is the back area.

The choice of style will largely be dictated by the choice of sketch, as well as the capabilities of the master. A true professional will always help you decide on the style direction and tell you in what design the design you like will look most impressive.

On the spine

It is fashionable to wear women's tattoos on the spine.

In addition to hieroglyphs, there are:

rose with ribbons;
cherry blossoms;
Moon phases;
inscriptions;
cross;
sword.

A rose on a long stem, the bud of which blooms on the 6th cervical vertebra, is a tattoo that emphasizes the fragility and femininity of the wearer. Often the picture is made black, and the flower trunk itself is wrapped with ribbon. Sometimes the bud is painted red or soft pink.

Blooming cherry blossoms are a symbol of youth and spring. The picture in color on the girl’s spine looks original.

The phases of the moon are applied in black ink. The tattoo signifies renewal and the smooth flow of all female cycles.

The cross symbolizes a person’s deep faith in the Higher Powers and their favor towards him. This tattoo is suitable for those who are fearless and believe in their own strength.

Some women ask to draw a sword on the spine. In this case, the owner of the tattoo indicates that she has a masculine character and does not bow to her enemies.

Sketches of women's back tattoos

Sketches of women's back tattoos depend on the imagination of the customer and the skills of the artist. Almost anything can be implemented on such an area as the back. At the same time, the leading positions among the most popular sketches from year to year are occupied by:

Butterflies. This is the most favorite women's theme, which is combined with other designs and used in its pure form. It can be a single large individual or a flock of brightly colored moths. In the first case, the Peacock Eye is more common - one of the most noticeable and popular insects in the whole world.
Women's tattoos of wings on the back are the second most popular theme, which has an endless number of different options for execution and presentation of the image: angel wings in plumage unfolded over the shoulders or folded along the spine. Wings of a dragonfly or a fluttering butterfly. Leathery wings of a bat or dragon. The tattoo can occupy the entire back or the area of the shoulder blades. Basically, to depict such drawings, they resort to a realistic style or 3D image.
Wings do not always act as an independent plot. Sketches in the form of winged horses, unicorns, elves, fairies and other elementals are very popular, creating an aura of mystery around the owner.
No less popular are hearts, which change their meaning depending on the style of the image and additional details. Hearts with wings speak of a girl’s romance and passion, but hearts pierced by an arrow are a sign of unrequited love. It’s interesting that tattoos of this theme will look in a traditional or trash polka style.
Patterns in the form of a mandala are no less in demand for women’s tattoos on the back, but ornaments of various tribes and peoples on the female body are much less common.
As for Indian themes, all kinds of symbols of power and faith, as well as various variations of the image of dream catchers, are popular. Most often, such a tattoo is applied in the center of the back from the neck to the waist.
Floral arrangements are rarely used in large-scale paintings. But they are quite often present on women’s backs when decorating the shoulder blades or lumbar region. Flower vines with smooth curves crossing a woman’s back diagonally are also common. The most popular are roses, orchids, peonies and other plants with large inflorescences. Although, in this case, everything depends solely on the preferences of the owner.
For those who decide to fill their entire back tightly, natural and cosmic landscapes, pictures from cinema or history are an ideal option.

Also among the popular subjects are flocks of birds, cats, lions, foxes, skulls, images of angels and demons, etc. But it is worth remembering that the above examples are a guideline for choosing a direction. Each sketch is an individual, unique picture.

How to choose the color, size and style of a tattoo

Beautiful tattoos for girls on the back can be either color or black and white. Psychologists have found that each shade affects a person’s state in its own way, so when choosing a tone for a permanent picture, you must first find out how it affects the state of the wearer.

The top 5 color solutions for tattoos, besides black, include:

Red and its shades have a stimulating and exciting effect on humans. The predominance of this color makes it clear to others that this is a self-confident person with leadership qualities. Despite all the positive qualities of red, experts apply it sparingly, since the color can depress and cause aggression. Color in tattoos is usually found in a combination of black, white, green or brown.

Yellow shades are considered sunny and, in moderation, have a positive effect on a person. Color stimulates creativity and relieves fatigue and depression. In addition, yellow is associated with joy. Experts attribute the negative qualities of color to its ability to cause anxiety and panic attacks. Therefore, in tattoos, yellow is found in moderate quantities and is usually combined with black, red or green.

Green gives a person calmness and a sense of security. The color creates a business atmosphere around the tattoo wearer, and combines it with black, red or blue. The color of a calm ocean allows a person to relax and enjoy life. Blue reduces the feeling of hunger, and to others it indicates that their nature is too persistent, able to stand on its own. The color goes well with black or green.

Purple enhances the tattoo owner’s ability to win over his interlocutor and others. It is considered the color of nobility, wisdom and honor. Purple looks beautiful with black, pink and white.
Black is the most used color in permanent designs. It represents calm, confidence and the transition from one state to another. Some masters believe that it is able to absorb negative energy and transform it into positive energy. In addition, many mystics claim that black is the color of infinity.

The size and style of the tattoo is also selected individually. In this case, you need to take into account what part of the body the drawing will be on and how much area of the body it will occupy.

To determine the size, the master prints out the sketches selected by the client and applies them to the desired area. After this, the person who wants to get a tattoo looks in the mirror and decides how the picture looks on the body. The difficulty of drawings on the back is that the client cannot look normally in the mirror and decide whether he wants such decoration or not. In this case, the specialist takes a photo on the phone so that the future bearer of the picture can look at it.

When choosing a sketch, you need to remember that any picture can be fit into a simple geometric figure, which also has its own meaning. For example, a triangular tattoo indicates that a person knows how to set goals, is a leader by nature, and nature has endowed him with great willpower.

The square image is suitable for those who have a love of order, perseverance and hard work. Such people always finish what they start and will not leave the path halfway.

The rectangular shape of the tattoo tells others that its owner is curious, strives for something new and is in search of himself. If there is a circle on the body, then its owner is an emotional and sensitive person. Zigzag patterns are chosen by creative and excitable people.

Back tattoo care

The main disadvantage of a back tattoo is the difficulty in caring for the design in the first few weeks. It is problematic not only to apply a healing cream, but also to wash the wound with a special soap solution. It is prohibited to use washcloths to remove excess paint and protruding lymph, and it is impossible to reach the tattoo with your hands. In this case, it is necessary to process the drawing several times a day in the first three to four days.

Another inconvenience is associated with wearing a peculiar style of clothing. It is advisable to use spacious cotton pajama-type T-shirts. First of all, clothing should not fit close to the body or cause friction. Otherwise, additional irritation and itching will appear. Therefore, when planning a tattoo on your back, it is better to immediately consider the possibility of a two-week vacation necessary for comfortable healing of the skin. At this time, it is advisable to use household items that may have stains that cannot be washed off.

You will also have to forget about sleeping on your back for some time, so as not to accidentally tear off the resulting crusts, the presence of which indicates a normal healing process. However, all the unpleasant nuances end in the first three weeks, after which a high-quality and durable tattoo remains.
