Tattoo is an old art form that has been around since ancient times. Tattoos have been done by many cultures all over the world and represent different things of people's life that they put into tattoo designs to express their individuality and personality. Most tattoos have personal meanings and each tattoo artist is a real art creator. Some of them make the whole tattoo hand-drawn and some sometimes use tattoo designs created with stencil copy machine. Tattoo is something you have for the rest of life and it's important to give some thought about its design before the get it. Tattoo should not only look good but represent symbolism of something special and have its own meaning.
I'd like to talk about most popular tattoo designs for women and their placement.
Star is recognized in many cultures as a symbol of positivity, life, high ambitions, ideals and dreams. Star tattoos have long history.
Flower is a symbol of beauty and something precious for any women. Flower tattoos put necessary accents on the beauty of women and the meaning of floral tattoo depends on the choice of the flower itself. Abstract flower tattoos are also popular.

And now about the areas- shoulder, lower back and upper back are the most popular areas for women's tattoos. And the choice depends on the decision whether the tattoo should be seen or can be covered by clothing.
