Anyhow, be aware that getting a tattoo on your ancle can be a painful experience. As there is only very little fat (thank god) on your ancle, just plain skin covering the bone, getting a tattoo there may hurt a lot more than on any other part of your body.

So you might want to consider getting your tattoo done a little above your ancle where there is more fat to avoid more pain than absolutely necessary.

Whatever you might decide, I have to admit that the ancle is my personal favorite spot for a tattoo on the body as it just looks gorgeous especially if you are wearing high-heels with it and even more so during summer when you don’t need to wear any stockings.

Enjoy!

All the best

And indeed a nice floral design matches not only most girls but also any woman no matter which age. A nicely done little daisy e.g. is a good start for your first tattoo for girls.

It has been and most probably always will be fashionable and will match all kinds of new fashion, whatever may come in the future.

If you are into something more extravagant, you might want to consider getting a rose tattoo, maybe with a red-colored rosebud. Whereas daisies go almost everywhere on your body as they are small and can be hidden easily (if necessary), a rose may be something you really want to show. For example on your upper arm or your shoulder.

A couple of weeks ago I spotted a beautiful young Asian woman who had a very nicely done set of lilies on her shoulder. Very exceptional, but it definitely added to the beauty of the young woman and she was wearing it very proudly.

Whatever your favorite flower may be, a floral design is always a good pick for a tattoo for girls.

What is your favourite flower?

But due to the decreasing ozone layer the sun isn’t all that friendly any more. In fact it tended to become more and more aggressive during the last couple of years. So exposing your body to the sun for too long (and a little can already bee far too long in this case), can not only cause severe sunburns, which may led to skin cancer later on, but it also has an effect on your tattoos. To prevent your girlie tattoos from bleaching you should definitely make sure to use a very good sun-blocker with a high sun protection factor, which you should apply directly onto your tattoo. You might want to consider using a baby sun-blocker with a sun protection factor of 25 or higher. Don’t forget to renew it whenever you went into the water or took a shower as the sun-blocker will be washed away immediately. Even if you decide to just sit in the sun for a couple of hours, skipping a refreshing bath, you should apply a new layer of sun-blocker every hour or so.

To be honest, the best thing to do would be to cover up your tattoos alltogether with any kind of clothes. This can be a T-Shirt, a loose blouse or even a piece of towel, depending on where on your body your girlie tattoo is. There are even clothes with kind of built-in sun protection today which you might consider wearing.

Definitely avoid getting a sunburn on your tattoo (avoid getting any sunburn alltogether because of the risk of skin cancer) as it will not only bleach the colors of your tattoo but will also wear it off when your skin starts peeling.

Wearing a tattoo doess affort special skin treatment for sure, even more so during summertime.

Anyhow - enjoy the warm weather and let everybody have a glimpse of your beautiful girlie tattoos (if appropriate of course…).

All the best to you

Getting to and from my scheduled meetings downtown Orlando I passed a really nice looking Tattoo-Shop twice a day. I wanted to get a new tattoo so badly - but no chance. Either the shop was still closed when I passed by or I was in a hurry. I do not have any tattoos on my arms yet and I want to get at least one -  I guess on my right arm.

It would have been the perfect chance to do so. The shop looked very neat and clean and the guys there seemed to do a perfect job as far as I could see. Moreover they had quite a huge selection of really good looking tattoo designs.

For my next tattoo I want to have something Buddhist. A little Buddha maybe or a buddhist sign. I have turned to this religion a couple of years ago and I do not mind to show my opinion or belief to others (something everybody should think about very well before deciding to get a religious tattoo).

As I am not quite sure, what kind of buddhist symbol I should go for, I will have a look at the Chopper tattoo design selection and I just know I will find the right design for me.

Heading back to my hometown I will make an appointment at my local tattoo shop (very nice as well) and have it done. Yep, and as soon as I have it, I will post a picture of it here.

Stay tuned, more posts are to come later this week.

Only very few women get e.g. a full sleeve tattoo. Most women get one or two smaller tattoos in different areas of their bodies.

The most popular smaller tattoo designs for women are:

1. Butterfly tattoos - very popular, especially among very young girls. Very cute, too.

2. Flower tattoos - flowers are considered very feminine in general so they make a perfect tattoo for girls or young women. Roses, lilies, sunflowers and daisies are among the most pupular flower designs.

3. Fariy tattoos - we all loved tinkerbell and faries are just wonderful designs for young girls. Fairies are young girls themselves (and luckily for them, they always stay young) with magical power - something we all dream of. Perfect as a tattoo.

4. Dolphin tattoos - have a very special meaning, you can read more about it in my blogpost about dolphin tattoos.

5. Tribal tattoos - seem to become the most popular tattoos for young women. Often as tattoos of the lower back (also known as “tramp stamp” - a nasty name for a wondeful place for a tattoo).

6. Heart tattoos - what could be more romantic than a heart tattoo for a girl or young women? Very feminine. Just resist the desire to put the name of your actual boyfriend to the heart. You know: Boyfriends may come and go but your (heart) tattoo will stay with you a lifetime.

When I first stumbled upon the website of Chopper Tattoo I just couldn’t believe what they were offering me. To be honest, I was a little sceptical at first. The website had a nice and professional looking design which I liked at first glance, but as they didn’t give too much information before signing up, I wasn’t really sure if this was the right place.

To cut a long story short: It definitely is the right place and I did sign up, as the price is about as phenomenal as the content you are getting. For US$ 34,44 you get LIFETIME and unlimited access to the whole selection of thousands and thousands of tattoo designs. And for an additional amount of US$ 4,99 you can include unlimited lettering tattoo designs as well. And there comes a special bonus with this offer: Free music downloads (worth $ 297) and a free issue of the ink-magazine.

I do a lot of business on the internet and I see lots of so called special offers every day, but I very rarely come across such a fair and good offer like this one here - if you are interested in tattoos that is, of course.

Among others you can pick here from a selection of:

• Arm Band Tattoos,
• Belly Button Tattoos
• Butterfly Tattoos
• Cat Tattoos
• Celtic Tattoos
• Chinese Tattoos
• Cross Tattoos
• Fairy Tattoos
• Fantasy Tattoos
• Flower Tattoos
• Heart Tattoos
• Japanese Symbol Tattoos
• Lower Back Tattoos
• Mermaid Tattoos
• Angel Tattoos
• Religious Tattoos
• Women Tattoos
• Rose Tattoos
• Tribal Tattoos

and many, many more.

I already mentioned in several posts before how important it is to pick the right design, the one design that is right just for you. The best way to find it, is to look at as many different designs you can. Here is your chance to do so.

And the best thing: You can download every single design, print it out and take it to your favourite tattoo studio. They can tell you if they can do it or even can make a unique tattoo just for you according to your wishes. With a Chopper Tattoo Design you always have at least an idea to start from (if you do not want to use the original design).

New tattoo designs are added to the Chopper Tattoo Gallery frequently so you will never run out of ideas for your tattoos for girls.

Anyhow, this does not mean, that you couldn’t choose any other kind of written design or e.g. written symbols such as ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.

As a child I was fascinated by the old Egyptians with their kings and pyramids. I just couldn’t get enough of it and I was more than happy when I had the chance to see the bust of queen Nofretete in a museum and a real sarcophagus at the Egyptian museum in Cairo.

Until today I find Egyptian hieroglyphs most picturesque and a very good design for a tattoo. You wouldn’t necessarily think about having your own name tattooed on your body (only if you are very, very forgetful) whereas you name written in hieroglyphs may look just gorgeous.

Or you go for the name of an ancient Egyptian god like Anubis, Isis, Osiris, Horus, etc.

Isis and Osiris were twins and Isis was also Osiris wife. Osiris is known as the God who brought civilization to the world and taught mankind the secrets of farming and agriculture. Isis, his wife is the Godess of magic and as she rescued Osiris from death she was considered “more powerful than a thousand soldiers” and “the clever-tongued one whose speech never fails.”

Anubis was a funerary god. His task was it to hold the scales on which the heart was weighed. If the heart was lighter than a feather, Anubis was the one who led the soul to Osiris. If the heart was heavier than a feather, the soul was destroyed.

Horus is the son of Isis and Osiris. He was the pharaoh’s protector and also patron of young men.

If you do not want to digg that deep into Egyptian philosophy you may just stick to one or two of your favourite hieroglyphs. They don not necessarily need to have a meaning. As long as they have a meaning for you and you feel happy and comfortable with the tattoo, everything is perfectly alright.

A great help when you are not sure what kind of tattoo design to choose is looking through different collections of tattoos for girls.

Here are the most important points:

• Within the first 24 hours: Just leave your tattoo alone. Don’t use any lotion or any other products.
• Within the firs 2 to 4 days: Use aftercare products as given to you by your tattoo artist 3 - 5 times a day.
• From day 5 on until the tattoo is healed: Use mild lotion (best, without any perfume, etc.) daily.
• Keep your tattoo clean and dry
• Keep your tattoo away from the sun.

But, see for yourself and follow Clinton Ransdell’s instructions:
