A Symbol of Love: Lower Back Heart Tattoo

In the world of tattoos, the lower back tattoo is gaining popularity among women today. These tattoos have the focal point in the center of the back just above the pant line and then follow the natural curve of the woman's body to fan out toward her hips in a variety of different patterns. There are also some small lower back tattoos where the tattoo only has the design in the center of the back just above the pant line without any additional scrollwork added to it. This is the case with some lower back heart tattoos.

Choosing a Design

Lower back heart tattoos can be found in a variety of different patterns. There are some lower back heart tattoos that are colored, such as in the traditional red of a heart, but others may be in the black or green tattoo ink instead. Some of the lower back heart tattoos may have some other initials or symbols added inside of the heart to stand for whatever the woman wants, whether it is a spouse or children, or any other variety of symbols or initials that are close to her heart. Sometimes the lower back heart tattoo stands alone, with the heart being the only part of the tattoo on the woman's lower back. Other times the heart may be the focal point of the tattoo in the center of the back with some design work that is placed behind or around the heart to scroll out to the sides of the woman's back. Sometimes the design work is not just scrolling lines, but they can be creatures too, such as snakes or dragons, depending on the desires of the woman getting the tattoo.

Other than lower back heart tattoos, there are also many other designs that are popular on the market. One of these is the dragonfly or butterfly tattoo. In this type of tattoo, the center piece is the insects body which sits in the center of the back, dipping into the pant line. The wings of the insect usually fan out to the sides of the lower back, following the curves of the woman's body toward her hips. There are also dolphin tattoos in which a single dolphin or a group of dolphins seem to be swimming just above and just below the pant line of the woman, again following the curves of the woman's back and hips. In other cases, flowers are used, where the flower either sits alone in the center of the back, or the vines or leaves flow out to the sides of the lower back, fanning out from the flower and accenting it.
