When a woman considers getting a tattoo, she often considers where would be some very feminine spots for a tattoo on her body. Since I have been thinking about this forever and ever as I bounce back and forth between wanting a tattoo and not wanting one, I have come up with some of the most feminine spots for a tattoo. The decision to get a tattoo is an enormous one. You want to be absolutely certain not only about what your tattoo is but also the location on your body where you choose to have it placed.
1 The Foot
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.
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.
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.
4 The Shoulder
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.
5 The Back
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.
6 The Back of the Neck
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.
7 The Hand
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.
8 Behind the Ear
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
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
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.
11 The Breast
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.
12 The Hip
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.
13 The Toe
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?

designerera Hehe really enjoyed The slides :P feeling like I too should have one on my ankle :)
Nulife Thinking of 1st tat at 60 yo. ( young 60,). What do you suggest?
Sierra Hello lovely women of AllWomenStalk!! :) If this article is still circulating and hopefully people are still commenting(as I don't know how recent these comments are since it won't show me that), could you ladies please help me out with the following and comment your opinions? Thanks! Okay so firstly, I have yet to have any tattoos but have become more and more increasingly find of them and most definitely want a few now, despite how admittedly scared I am and how much my parents and family will disagree haha.. x3 Anyways! First question is, somewhat unfortunately, the main and only place I've ever really wanted a tattoo before seeing articles like this is my lower back. However, as the article mentions, that is unfortunately known as the "tramp stamp" and from everyone I've talked to including friends having a tattoo there seems to just immediately mark you as trampu, slutty, etc. :/ It is not my intention nor wanting to be any of those but this is just my experience, what do all of you think of lower back tattoos? I saw that some of you have them, but have you experienced overly trouble with it? What do you all think about possibly getting a tattoo there because I like that area of my body, or is it not worth the silly criticism? Secondly! I'm going to school for performing arts and although I'm aware many many actors have tattoos of all sizes, does anyone know if having tattoos whether large or small possibly decrease your chance of receiving roles, at auditions, etc? Any help and advice is much appreciated, and you can also reach me on Pinterest @SunlitStarlet! Sorry for the crazy long comment, but thank you in advance!! :)
Shay @Sierra: I would say for most auditions you go to, they are not going to require you show them your body underneath clothes for your first audition or they’re not legit. Second, I would say that you be you! Get something excellent. I think they reason “tramp stamps” are always labeled like that is because they are butterflies, or barbwired or something that’s so.. BLEH.. good luck 🍀
Ya I hate tattoos. I am entitled to my own opinion, so I feel we shouldn't mark our skin like that,not isn't paper, it's our body
Keke I have visible tattoos.. One on my left ear, another on my hand and it goes to my forearm and my other one is on my ring finger which all my tatts are henna inspired.. I recently interned at a doctors office and the lead doctor hated tattoos and wouldn't accept interns with visible tattoos.. He actually liked me working by his side..I felt very privileged, and felt like I changed the stereotype of the doctor who saw tatts as not "workable" in his enviroment.. My boyfriend is also not a big fan of tatts and swore he would never be with anyone tatted but he's with me and were madly in love.. And people are always complimenting me on them.. I'm glad to have my tatts and change people's perceptions because I believe tatts are beautiful and they very expressive:)
Beau The shoulder is definitely not feminine quite manly and tacky
Yhonique These r some good ideas
Eirika I have a cat on my foot, love always written on my inner wrist, feathers on my left ribs, the word loyalty on my right ribs, a celtic 3 leaf clover on my shoulder blade, and a flower on my lower back. Almost one in every spot! haha
Dawn I have 4. Two dolphins & a heart on my lower back (was the most painful one). A dolphin on my right ankle (first one--hurt because I didn't know what to expect). A dragonfly on my right foot--surprisingly not painful & my latest one, a dog's footprint inside a heart on my left foot (easiest one yet and my fav!!!). I want one on my wrist, but hubby doesn't like the idea.
Courtney I have 4 tattoos- one right above my outer left ankle bone ( an anchor w/ snowflakes above it), one on my right outer calf ( 3 intertwined hibiscus flowers), one on my lower right stomach beside my belly button ( a shooting star with a butterfly riding on the trail), and one on the right side of my back on my shoulder blade ( a fairy standing on a bed of flowers with a dove flying above it) the only one that really hurt was the one on my back, the others were alright. Everyone's pain tolerance is different it also depends on your artist, how many needles they are using and the size/ location of it.
Elly I like ones behind the ear, but I don't think I'll ever get a tattoo!
Dawna I got my first one on my lower back (painful), then on my wrist (not painful surprisingly) and my last one on the back of my neck (didn't hurt as much as my lower back tattoo). I do agree though, the rib cage is an awesome place for a tattoo, wish I did my first tattoo there 😐
Tracy My next one will be on my thigh. :-)
M3Lissax0_ Behind the ear :)
Patricia I have the Japanese love sign on the back of my neck :)
missallen i have one on my rib cage n it hurt so much but i took the pain because it was worth it when it was all done.
Beth I have one on my foot (painful), one on the back of my neck (didn't hurt at all) and one on my wrist (didn't hurt either). I want to get one on my hand and one on my shoulder blade but we'll see.
Leilah I wonder if the girl with the neck tattoo knows what that saying means...
Beth @Leilah I believe but not positive that girl is Angelina Jolie so I am thinking she does.
Dita I've got one on my inner wrist, I wanted it in a spot that was private yet not hidden! Also contrary to belief, wasn't painful at all! The next one will be the base of the neck. :)
Gina Pls excuse earlier message lol..don't know quite how that happened!! I was trying to say I have a tattoo everywhere you've suggested except my rib cage (painful I believe) but that's my next one! 😃
