I have been looking for quite a few very feminine pieces for a post and think I have found just the remedy I needed for my skin ink fix in this department. Although I am loathe to admit that some art is definitely ladies only it is just a fact. However, those pieces that were created with women in mind are also some of the greatest pieces of skin art I have laid my eyes on in many years of repeatedly laying my eyes on tattoos.
This is absolutely one of my favs. The cherry blossom remains a ladies only (mostly) tattoo these days and it is clear to see by looking here exactly why. The colors and tones on this lovely tree scream lady to me.
The butterfly is always a top ladies choice in skin ink but it takes a special one to get my attention. The simplicity here is what I enjoy over the colors or location regardless.
This is an incredibly sensual tattoo. But then, by now if you know me you will know that I am thoroughly impressed by artist who utilize the natural curves of the female body to create these impressive works of art.
Something about most ankle tattoos is very sexy to me. Even a foot tattoo on a guy can be yummy if placed right. So here are some of the best tattoos I can find that reflect my love of a good and sensual ankle tattoo!
This one looks fairly real too. Love rose tattoos that have that added sheen.
Unique male ankle tattoo. Love the biomech look and I am not sure of many ideas men could get away with on this place that is most commonly tattooed only by women!
Nice. The ankle to foot design. I love these and am glad to see them becoming more and more popular.
Lovely work. I seriously love the new colors in this day and age. If only mine were this vibrant sooo many years ago when I began getting inked!
So here we are at the second set of the top 50 tattoos. We left off at number 10 and so bringing up the rear from ten is the Lion tattoo. Whenever I think of lion tattoos I think of this one lady I seen when I was younger that came in and got inked with three of the worlds largest cats. When asked why she chose the design, she replied that They represented her three sons. One was a Leo and a proud young guy fierce and courageous as Leos are known to be, one was a cheetah and a track star who had made his way through a business degree in college with his running speeds, and that the last of her sons was the panther the dark and broody child who held an air of mystery. And I thought, well damn, isn’t that a kick ass novel idea way to represent your family!
Lion King indeed! This is an awesome work of skin art!
The Celtic knot can come in just about any shape, but most commonly they are rounded.
Kanji tattoos are also a big hit, these Chinese letters leave a meaning up to discussion for most of their owners. Often they are the only ones who know the meaning!
Another wow art piece. I really love when artist utilize curves in the body as natural arches and shadows. Tiger tattoos comes in at number 14!
Roses come in at number 15 and what a fine example of some great roses in skin art. These look like they have fresh dew on them!
Nah this isn’t exactly a COMMON h1eart tattoo. But than its a damn good alteration of the common valentines day heart that is popular in skin art and in at number 16.
To bad I couldn’t have seen her face on the bad parts here. Incredibly innovative tattoo using the breast as scales. Unfortunately it also makes me wonder how heavy the weight of justice will become in time 
Great skull tattoo. Creepy realistic eyes.
Flowers come in at number 19 on the top 50 list of popular skin art.
Pin up girls have been a very long time popular iconic tattoo. In recent years women have been just as fanatic about them as the men who love to look at them!
In a world where Lord of the Rings trilogies can reign supreme in movies for so long we are obviously full of people who find the fantasy world appealing. Whether this is some deep seeded notion of subconscious escapism or just a general enjoyment of all things creative and otherworldly, it is obvious in our choices of movies, artwork, toys and yes, skin art, that we have a great love for the unknown, the seemingly impossible and just the outright wow factor of some of the creations that artist and Hollywood have formulated in the last twenty years or so. When I think back to being a kid when E.T. or Star Wars was the best we had in creative ideas for Sci-Fi or Fantasy, I kind of smile inwardly and appreciate being able TO appreciate how much fantasy has expanded just in my lifetime alone.
Great color here. Dragons are considered a part of fantasy art of course. But there is an old saying that resembles, “History becomes Myth when its scholars no longer tell their tales.” Food for thought, if you can grasp that!
Pretty great mermaid in my opinion. But also ouchy fresh.
I expanded this one a bit because, WOW!!!! this really is an incredible freakin tattoo in my opinion. Tell me those blades of grass do not look three dimensional. My Irish ancestral notions are also very pleased with the shamrock darting off to the side!

Bio-mechanical tattoos are quickly gaining popularity. These tattoos that blend man and machine may be an ever increasing possibility in our futures, but for now, and likely luckily, they are just some incredibly wild pieces of skin art.
This bio-mech head is fairly intricate in its detail. For those of you that have never had your dome inked I can tell you, this didn’t hurt much at all. Seriously. Well except for the lavender color trails down the sides of the neck, but the old skull? Very little nerve endings there like other areas, skull tattoos are relatively painless.
Pretty cool breakthrough from where I see it. Looks real and just enough bio-mech in there to raise questions as to is this woMAN or MACHINE!?
This has a predator feel I suppose. A bit of lashing of a perhaps less than normal mech monster but still very nice work!
And WOW, this is a lot of work. And on some VERY sensitive places. And we can’t even see where it ends!
So although bi0-mech tattoos may not be my thing in particular, I think the above works of skin art have some very credible and realistic art form to them that perhaps will become more popular as our chances to make this a reality grow closer. And although the bottom one may be glaringly obvious, I feel it’s important to point out that all of these photos are of women and their personal skin art!
Also a huge fan of the zodiac I can really appreciate a good piece of zodiac skin art. The lovely and sensual Scorpio has found a great tattoo in this creation. Also a very sexy place for a tattoo!
I actually can appreciate this take on Aquarius. This offers a bit more than the usual symbolic water bearer figure.
Now this is an Aries tattoo I can truly grow to love. Great black work!
With so many different zodiac signs people also tend to create combinations of signs for their loved ones as well. I have my own sign on my ankle and no one really ever ask me what it is. Tells me something since they ask about more obvious things. Says a lot for the knowledge people have about the zodiac in general!
Out of so many popular designs there are on earth some of the most highly tattooed art stays the same. Here are 10 of the top 50 tattoos for 2010.
The ever popular Tribal Art!
Though most of us wouldn’t put them here, the Star or the Nautical Star are very commonly received tattoos.
The cross in just about any form is an extremely long lasting in popularity form of skin art.This particular type of cross is known as a Celtic Cross.
The angel tattoo is ever popular as well. However this is one of the tattoos that men and women seem to get equally as much. Womens angel tattoos lean towards the angelic harmonious themes while mens angel tattoos lean more towards avenging or fallen angel designs.
Wings are also very popular, and as you can see from this unique variation, they don’t have to be the wings of angels! This looks like the wings of a bone dragon to me. Killer art here!
Maori tribal art is also a very popular tattoo. Although this has its roots in the Pacific, the other tribal art listed above is considered more Native to America.
The Dragon tattoo is very popular and one of my personal favorites of course. This one being a spectacular example from my point of view.
The Phoenix tattoo is rich in symbolism and popularity. Great piece of work here!
The butterfly is always ever popular too. This one I am quite sure was a very sensitive one to receive. Some of those fleshy spots in the center of the back really freakin’ HURT!
The fairy is the last on the list for this ten. This one here is also a very great example of the fine line work that can go into things like fairys wings or dragons scales.
From the past to the present Rock stars have always been pioneers and innovative ones in their skin art choices. But don’t start thinking that it has been just the last generation or so of rockers who have favored skin art. In past times, tattoos were some unspoken badge of membership into a darker sub culture. They were mostly viewed as acts of rebellion and only the most defiant would dare to sport their body art.
So who started some of this, who were the true rocker pioneers who rocked their skin art as proudly as they rocked their tunes?
Greg Allman
Cher
Janis Joplin
The two women here, Cher and Janis, were the true pioneers in women rockers who sported skin art. Other famous women like Joan Baez had tattoos as well, but Janis and Cher, they couldn’t get enough of showing theirs off. It has gone a long way in desensitizing a LOT of old school folks who could have kept on perpetuating labels on women with skin art.
