Let’s all take a moment to be truthful here; everyone knows tattoos are meant to draw attention and for viewing, similar to other forms of art. When a man or woman gets a tattoo, he or she knows they want others to see it, or they wouldn’t be showing it off. I know it, you know it, we all know it.
Men generally get masculine, powerful tattoo designs, while women typically go for tattoo designs that draw upon their beauty and femininity. And placement of tattoos on the body, are not accidental. Tattoo designs are intentionally located on areas of the body to be noticed and often meant to insinuate personality traits.
While the majority of men are forthcoming about their tattoos, many women claim their tattoos are purely for personal enjoyment and for select individuals in their lives. This perhaps is one of the most ludicrous fabrications in tattooing.
Seriously, if a tattoo is intended for personal viewing and enjoyment, why then would anyone get one in an area they can’t even see without twisting and contorting themselves in the mirror? When a woman gets a lower back tattoo she definitely wants the attention that comes along with it. And I guarantee, very few of the men getting an eyeful of her tattoo are thinking, “Gee whiz, there goes a real wholesome lady.”
