1. The Foot
/filters:quality(70)/content/2013/10/21211903_5796_479x800.jpg)
The foot is a very popular spot for a woman to choose to get a tattoo. It is often chosen because it is one of the most feminine spots for a tattoo. After all, you don’t see very many men choosing that spot for their location, do you? Women often have floral designs tattooed there or verses of some sort. A tattoo placed here looks really nice in a pair of heels.
***
Other than being particularly feminine, the foot also offers a unique canvas that is easily concealed or revealed depending on the wearer's choice. Delicate ankle bracelets, whimsical butterflies, and even inspirational quotes find a special home on this part of the body. Whether slipping into sandals or walking barefoot on the beach, a foot tattoo carries an air of intrigue and beauty, making it a subtle yet potent statement of style and personal expression. Careful consideration is advised, though; the foot is known to be a more pain-sensitive area for inking.
2. The Inner Wrist

Another often chosen placement for a lady's tattoo is the inner wrist. I really like this placement. It is such a delicate area of the body and can remain hidden until her arm is turned. It is almost like it is her own little secret. This makes it a very feminine spot for a woman to get a tattoo.

3. Down the Side of the Ribcage

This is another lovely location for a woman to get a tattoo, but this choice could be a bit problematic. If a woman gains a lot of weight, it could affect this tattoo. It could also be affected in a pregnancy when a woman’s breast size typically changes. But, with special care, this could be a very good choice. It is also very feminine in choice.

3. Down the Side of the Ribcage is a popular and feminine location for a tattoo, as seen in the article "13 Very Feminine Spots for a Tattoo."

4. The Shoulder
/filters:quality(70)/content/2013/10/21212102_3284_600x804.jpg)
A shoulder is another choice that women typically choose for a tattoo placement. They sometimes do it on the back of their shoulder or even on the top of the shoulder and trailing downward. This tattoo would most likely not be as painful as some of the other locations mentioned, yet it is still a very feminine location. This is especially true if the placement is on top of the shoulder and trailing downward.
***
The shoulder is a popular choice for a tattoo placement for women, as it is a very feminine area. It can be placed on the back or top of the shoulder, and the top placement usually trails downward. The pain level of this placement is usually lower than other areas, making it a good choice for those who are less tolerant of pain. Women may also opt for a shoulder tattoo if they want to keep their tattoo more discreet, as it's an area that can be easily covered up. Whatever the reason, the shoulder is a great spot to get a beautiful and feminine tattoo.
5. The Back
/filters:quality(70)/content/2013/10/21212310_8499_465x680.jpg)
Many women choose to have a tattoo placed on their back. They can go in many different directions with this choice. Some choose a low placement and some go higher or for a fuller length of tattoo. These are very pretty when a woman wears a bikini in the summertime or in other summer clothing. Many different designs work well here, too.
***
The back is one of the most popular places for women to get tattoos, as it is a large canvas that can be used to create intricate designs. Women can choose from a variety of designs, such as floral patterns, geometric shapes, animals, and abstract art. The placement of the tattoo can vary, from a low placement on the back to a full-length tattoo.
Tattoos on the back can also be used to express personal values and beliefs. For example, some women may choose to get a tattoo of a religious symbol, such as a cross or a star of David. Others may opt for a phrase or quote that is meaningful to them.
When it comes to the pain associated with getting a tattoo on the back, it is generally considered to be a low to moderate level of pain. However, it is important to note that the pain level can vary depending on the size and placement of the tattoo.
The healing process for a back tattoo is generally the same as any other tattoo. It is important to keep the area clean and moisturized, and to avoid touching or scratching the tattoo. Additionally, it is important to avoid direct sunlight and swimming for a few weeks after the tattoo has been applied.
6. The Back of the Neck
/filters:quality(70)/content/2013/10/21212340_7372_600x901.jpg)
The back of the neck is a pretty location for a woman to get a tattoo. Like the location of the inner wrist, this one can easily be hidden and remain a secret. She can wear her hair down to cover it or up to show it off. That makes this a very versatile choice. Obviously, the choices for a tattoo here must be small in nature.

Tattoos on the back of the neck are often seen as a symbol of strength and courage. This is because the neck is one of the most vulnerable parts of the body, and having a tattoo there is a sign of courage and strength. It is also a great spot for a tattoo that is meaningful and personal to the wearer.
When it comes to the design of a tattoo on the back of the neck, there are many possibilities. It can be a simple design such as a single word or phrase, a small symbol, or a more intricate design. Some popular designs for this area include flowers, stars, animals, and even religious symbols.
7. The Hand
/filters:quality(70)/content/2013/10/21212610_7609_500x680.jpg)
This is a choice recently gaining popularity for a woman to be tattooed. For a long time, hand tattoos on a woman were considered somewhat taboo. But as tattoos are slowly becoming more acceptable, so is their visibility. This is a pretty spot for a woman to choose and one she will get to enjoy often because it is so easily in her line of sight. One thing to consider is that some public places of work do still have a problem with tattoos and it could be a factor in gaining employment.

The hand is a popular choice for women to get tattooed, despite it being considered taboo for a long time. As tattoos gain more acceptance, their visibility on the hand has also become more acceptable. This spot is easily visible to the wearer and can be enjoyed often. However, it is important to note that some workplaces still have strict policies against visible tattoos, which could potentially affect employment opportunities. It is important for women to consider this before getting a hand tattoo. Other popular feminine spots for tattoos include the wrist, collarbone, and ankle.
8. Behind the Ear
/filters:quality(70)/content/we/yq/iy/u9ewz_hair_face_hairstyle_nose_forehead_600x818.jpg)
It's soft and tender back there, which are both classic feminine traits, so what better place to put a tattoo than behind your ear. True, you'll have to consider size and detail since the area is so small, but it's a great place if you want something meaningful that isn't super large. And, you can cover it with your hair or a bit of make-up so it's still appropriate for the workplace.
9. The Tailbone
/filters:quality(70)/content/vd/ah/sd/qcigs_hair_human-hair-color_clothing_blond_black-hair_384x586.jpg)
Commonly called a "tramp stamp," the lower back is a popular and very feminine place for a tattoo. It's a hidden area, so that tiny glimpse of ink is pretty girly when you're wearing a bikini or low rise jeans. Don't worry what people say, this is a great place to get a tattoo because it can be easily hidden or shown off as the mood strikes.
10. The Ankle
/filters:quality(70)/content/ho/rv/pe/tc0qy_leg_tattoo_arm_skin_thigh_491x699.jpg)
The ankle is perfect for a small girly tattoo. It doesn't hurt as bad as other body parts, but it allows you to show off your feminine side. A flower, heart or butterfly are popular choices, but you can pretty much get anything small on your ankle and still keep from looking like a hulking biker dude.
***
Ankle tattoos have the sweet spot of being concealable with a quick pull-down of your sock for a more conservative setting, while being effortlessly flauntable with a pair of heels or flip-flops on sunny days. Think about dainty stars, subtle infinity symbols, or even your personal astrological sign to add a hint of mystique. These tattoos are a brilliant way to express your individuality without making too loud of a statement. An ankle band or a tiny anchor can also serve as a metaphor for staying grounded, making this spot a clever choice for a tattoo with meaning.
11. The Breast
/filters:quality(70)/content/fo/b5/ki/ch7qu_hair_human-hair-color_blond_hairstyle_supermodel_500x862.jpg)
Sure, it might sag with age, but the side of the breast is becoming an increasingly popular spot for girls to have tattoos inked. A tattoo here is easy to keep covered so it won't interfere with your job. It's perfect because you can indulge your feminine side without having to go all out at the tattoo parlor.
***
The breast is a popular spot for tattoos among young women, as it is easy to keep covered and allows them to express their femininity without going overboard. Tattoos on the breast can range from small, delicate designs to larger, more intricate pieces, depending on the individual's preference. Some popular designs include flowers, birds, and abstract shapes. The breast is a great spot for a tattoo, as it is not visible to the public unless the wearer chooses to show it, allowing for a certain level of privacy. Additionally, tattoos on the breast can be easily covered with clothing, making them a great choice for those who have professional commitments.
12. The Hip
/filters:quality(70)/content/yl/nk/a6/xaxtu_human-action_person_grass_muscle_arm_360x480.jpg)
What's more feminine than a curvy woman's hip? So when you think about getting a tattoo, this is a very good spot. Not only does it show off your girly side, but you can keep it under wraps when you need to. Think about how awesome a tattoo peeking out of your swimsuit would look! Even the skinniest girl has ample room on her hip for a pretty cool design.
***
Hip tattoos effortlessly flirt with sensuality and mystery. Whether you opt for a delicate flower, a whimsical butterfly, or a meaningful quote, this area allows for personal expression that's both intimate and stylish. It's a canvas that's uniquely yours, perfect for designs that signify personal milestones or deep-rooted beliefs. Just imagine the gentle sway of your hips accentuating the art with every step you take—a subtle reminder of your strength and femininity.
13. The Toe
/filters:quality(70)/content/ba/up/r1/di2w7_foot_toe_leg_finger_nose_457x640.jpg)
Don't want to make the commitment of having your entire foot tattooed? Consider having something very small inked on your big toe. Pair it with a toe ring on the second toe and you have a super feminine look that doesn't require hours with the needle, but still gives you a unique look you can call your own.
I would love to hear you weigh in on this. Where do you think are feminine spots for tattoos? What spots are definite don’ts when it comes to tattooing?
