Tattoo ideas for women? Really?
If you are reading this post is because you are looking for tattoo ideas for women, but we need to tell you something about this topic, and it’s important.
There are no “tattoos for women” as there are no “tattoos for men”. There are just tattoos.
You know, getting inked is the same for men and women. Ok, women usually have breasts and men do not, but that’s the only difference.
The skins are the same, the pain is similar, and it depends on the style you like.
Nothing more.
We must bury the ideas that small or watercolor tattoos, and trash polka is for men, because that’s simply not true.
For this, we want to share with you some tattoo ideas that some women get tattooed with, so you can open your mind and see the world’s diversity.
1. Perfect design in woman shoulder
Here you got a nice example of a very bold and complete tattoo.
A good size realistic tattoo with several element (you can see a clock numbers, and eye with the reflection in the pupil, a rose and something like a necklace).
The set has a lot of harmony, the tattoo is perfectly done, and the difficulty of that design is high.
So, here you can see and awesome tattoo on a woman shoulder on a realistic style.

The neck.

Cool stuff, isn’t it?

3. Ornamental dotwork tattoo
We do love geometric and dotwork tattoos, for us, these styles have a lot of harmony and the difficulty is really high if you want a perfect finish.
Well, this tattoo has this perfect finish, an awesome design and, moreover, the placement is very bold: The armpit.
You cannot imagine how the pain is in that part of the body, and this increases a little bit more the difficulty of the tattoo.

This tattoo is quite different because it’s done by a Korean artist called Bium, who tattoo in 3layer Tatto Studio in Seoul.
For us, Korean tattoo artist have a special sensibility for their designs, it’s like an special tattoo school if you compare it with the rest of the world.
Talking a little bit more about the tattoo, it’s a tiger made basically on a realistic style, but with some red ink that gave a lot of personality for this design.
We do like the placement too, just down the clavicle, and it has a good size.
It’s simply perfect!

5. Realistic and fantasy tattoo
Another bold and, this time, colorful tattoo is this one.
The tattoo artist who did this spectacular design is Kat Abdy, she usually tattoo in United Kingdom, and we do love her style.
It’s something like a mix between realistic style, with a lot of color and some fantasy inside, sometimes with surrealistic style, and with a lot of personality.
And the last point is The Point: Personality and ultra-high quality.

- Fantasy.
- Surrealistic style.
6. Watercolor tattoo
Another great tattoo style, very bold and remarkable is watercolor tattoo.
