Aside from the sexy appeal and seductiveness that these tattoos present, they are frequently in demand because of the ample space that they provide for a wide tattoo design. This area is one of the widest parts of the human body, making it spacious for larger or horizontal tattoo designs. The lower back is also less likely to stretch due to weight change or pregnancy so the tattoo doesn't shrink or fade easily.
There are a lot of designs to choose from when it comes to lower back tattoos. Larger "V" designs or the horizontal designs like the tribal, heart, butterfly or fairies are the most popular. Other smaller designs such as stars, hearts, crosses and suns are also more often in demand. They can also be multi-colored or monotone, big or small, symmetrical or asymmetrical-the possibilities are endless.
It is always hard to choose the right design since tattoos are permanent and hard to remove, so always remember to do a little research. Most tattoo parlors have an extensive selection of designs that can be applied on the lower back, and it is not hard to look for a pattern or an example in different popular tattoo magazines.
