BellaOnline Forums Beauty and Self Body Art Sexiest Part of Body to Tattoo

The lower back happens to be very painful for a lot of folks too, and I've heard people complain that they got a tattoo there 'cuz everyone else had one, which made them figure it wasn't so bad... haha, not the case!

I am with Jim Colyer. Tattooes do nothing for me, especially when those same people get into their 60's.

For a guy, I think either the chest or just near the pelvic bone. And, as maligned as it seems to be, for ladies I still think the base of the spine is beautiful (no I don't have one there, for reference!). It does depend on the tattoo though.

I cringe when I see someone with a tattoo.

My sentiments exactly. Thanks Jim.

I'd just like to step in here and remind everyone that the Body Art Forum guidelines clearly state that this forum is purposely a welcoming and supportive place for body art.

Those of you who don't care for it, that's fine, that's your choice. However, repeatedly making derogatory comments is not welcome. If you don't like tattoo or piercings, I suggest you go to some other part of Bellaonline where you don't have to see or read about body art.

I think that someone not liking a tattoo for whatever reason shows ignorance is still rampant in our society. Having a tattoo is just another way of expressing ones self. Tattoos have been part of society for a long long time. They symbolize anything from life experiances, to age, to being an elder in a tribe. Mine happens to represent my first year of sobriety from drug usage. I am going on three years now (in Nov) and I am proud to show off my ink. Next time instead of judging someone because they have ink, ask them why they have ink.

Tattooed and proud.

Well, I've finally chosen my art for my first tattoo - it's of a pheonix carying a lantern - both symbols of hope and renewal for me. I'm leaning towards having this done on my back of my scapula area - as I think this piece is going to wind up being fairly large.

I decided that if I'm going to get a tatto, I want it to be for a personal reaons, a picture that's meaningful to me (not just flash chosen at random), and something that I can show off as art!

I'll send pics as soon as I get it done and healed!

Delicate tattoo around the ankle looks great!!

for a woman i think ones that go near the collar bone and up the side of the neck looks kool.

for a man a tatoo on the underside of his forearm or one that follows his spine is kool.

i find almost any tattoo awesome

For me, it is more the artistic quality of the tattoo rather than the location on a person's body. It also depends on the person themselves - If you are considering your fist tattoo, consider the parts of your own body you want to call attention to, not so much what looks good on someone else.
