For tattooing, the back is considered an ideal place. You can not limit yourself in choosing a sketch, scale and style direction. Plus, the pain on the back is considered the most insignificant. The exception is tattoos on the ribs and spine. Women's tattoos on the back always look very sophisticated and original. And the variety of variations of their execution allows you to create a unique masterpiece that emphasizes the individuality of the customer.
Features of the tattoo on the back
Tattoos on the back have a number of features that distinguish them from tattoos located on other parts of the body:
- Tattoos on the back are distinguished by a huge selection of possibilities. First of all, this is due to the large area on which the master can work. Here it is possible to realize any desire of the customer, immediately developing a sketch with all the nuances or to fill a small tattoo, and then create a story around it.
- The physiological features of the back allow you to create tattoos of any shape and size. Regardless of the orientation and volume, any tattoo will look organically. 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 emphasize advantageous places, correct physiological defects. For girls with broad shoulders, it is better to use sketches with vertical orientations and not to place large objects of the drawing in the upper part of the back. Narrow shoulders look more voluminous after applying large full-color paintings. Curved sketches and hourglass-shaped sketches located along the spine will help to emphasize a thin waist.
- According to the location, each tattoo can also be performed according to the individual wishes of the customer: it is located exclusively on the back (shoulder blades, ribs, lower back) or it can step on other parts of the body (shoulders, buttocks, chest, stomach). The location depends not only on the chosen sketch, but also on the girl's desire to hide or make the tattoo visible to others.
- As for visibility, women's tattoos on the back, unlike men's, also have a number of features. A woman can fully show a large-scale tattoo on the beach. Choosing the upper or lower part of the back (the place where the main part of the tattoo or part of the drawing with the most significant elements will be located), you can expose the tattoo, choosing the appropriate clothes in the summer. Cropped tops, low-cut tops with thin straps or blouses with a transparent fabric on the back. But in the cold season, such a tattoo will be hidden almost all the time by clothes.
- A positive point is the convenience of drawing a picture. 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 independently, and you also need to prepare for this in advance.
- Pain on the back depends on the personal threshold of sensitivity. But in some areas, everyone feels pain without exception. These areas include: the spine, ribs, sacrum, the outer part of the shoulder blades. This is due to the close location of the bone. A competent orientation of the drawing will help to reduce the pain. It is desirable to place the most tightly clogged parts in places where there is more muscle tissue.
Choosing a place for a tattoo on the back, you need to take into account the lifestyle, the tendency to fullness and other individual characteristics. Tattoos in the lower back and waist are prone to deformities as a result of pregnancy, gaining a lot of weight and losing weight dramatically. The appearance of stretch marks and flabby skin can spoil even the most beautiful sketch. Tattoos in the upper back from the middle of the ribs to the shoulders are less susceptible to age-related changes and do not react so strongly to changes in the owner's weight.
Popular styles of women's tattoos on the back
The back is an ideal place for paintings in the style of "dowork". Large, multidimensional drawings consisting of many individual points on any other part of the body will not sparkle with the same beauty as on the back. The muscular relief, the rotation of the body and the angle will each time open the edges of the image in a new way, involuntarily riveting 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 sketches of small sizes or paintings consisting of a large number of small and far-standing elements, 3D images are used. The style is ideal for a flock of butterflies or birds, flying ladybirds, miniature bouquets or skulls.
Blackwork is more typical for men's tattoos on the back, but with the right choice of a sketch and its competent arrangement, even this gloomy style will look elegant and interesting. So that the drawings do not look too massive, choose sketches in a graphic style.
Biomechanics is mainly a male style, but recently women have been turning to it more and more often. The most common places for its embodiment are the shoulders and back. In the second case, biomechanics is sometimes combined with other, more feminine styles. The result is an unusual and original tattoo.
The typical female style is watercolor. Basically, this is the style of romantic and sophisticated ladies. When combining watercolors with strict styles, they get original solutions that are characterized by moderate infantilism and do not pass the threshold of brutality characteristic of men.
Contrary to the established opinion, Japanese-style tattoos on the European part of the continent are most often applied by women. Colorful dragons and cherry blossom are among the most popular subjects for female tattoos on the back. Neotradishnl 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 the sketch, as well as the capabilities of the master. A real professional will always help you decide on the style direction and tell you in which performance the drawing you like will look most impressive.
Sketches of female tattoos on the back
Sketches of female tattoos on the back depend on the imagination of the customer and the skills of the performer. You can embody almost anything on such an area as the back. At the same time, the leading positions among the most popular sketches are occupied from year to year:
- Butterflies. This is the most favorite female theme, which is combined with other drawings and used in its pure form. It can be a single large individual or a flock of bright moths. In the first case, the "Peacock's Eye" is more common – one of the most noticeable and popular insects around the world.
- Women's tattoo wings on the back is the second most popular theme that has an endless number of different versions and presentation of the image: angel wings in plumage unfolded over the shoulders or folded along the spine. The wings of a dragonfly or a fluttering butterfly. Leathery bat or dragon wings. The tattoo can occupy the entire back or the area of the shoulder blades. Basically, for the image of such drawings, they resort to a realistic style or a 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 that change the meaning depending on the image style and additional details. Hearts with wings speak of the romance and passion of a girl, but hearts pierced with an arrow are a sign of unrequited love. It is interesting that tattoos of this subject will look in the style of traditional or thrash-polka.
- No less popular are female tattoos on the back patterns in the form of a mandala, but ornaments of various tribes and peoples on the female body are much less common.
- As for the Indian theme, 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.
- Flower arrangements are rarely used in large-scale paintings. But they are quite often present on women's backs when designing the shoulder blades or the lumbar region. Flower creepers with smooth curves crossing the female 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 have decided to fill their entire back tightly, natural and cosmic landscapes, pictures from cinema or history become 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 guide for choosing a direction. Each sketch is an individual, unlike anything else, picture.
Back Tattoo Care
The main disadvantage of a tattoo on the back is the difficulty in caring for the pattern 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 forbidden to use washcloths to remove excess paint and protruding lymph, and it is impossible to reach the tattoo with your hands. At the same time, it is necessary to process the drawing several times a day in the first three or four days.
Another inconvenience is associated with wearing a peculiar style of clothing. It is advisable to use spacious cotton T-shirts of the pajama type. First of all, the clothes should not fit to the body or cause a friction effect. Otherwise, there will be additional irritation and itching. Therefore, having planned a tattoo on the 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, on which non-washable stains may appear.
You will also have to forget about sleeping on your back for some time, so as not to accidentally tear off the formed 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.
