Butt Tattoos

With so many areas of the human body to get a tattoo, there isn’t exactly a shortage of good locations, however many people are choosing their butt as a prime piece of real estate for a tattoo design.

Butt tattoos are known to be a sexual tattoo and many women today opted for this type of tattoos because with the right design plus a sexy body it makes them feel fantastic and sensual. Did you know that Halle Berry has a flower tattooed on her right butt?

Here are some considerations if you want to get tattooed on butt :

1. Placement. Butt tattoo can be shown off as well as hidden, based on what are you wearing. You may decide to put it towards the top of your butt, so that it peeks out when wearing low-rise jeans or position it lower so that it is only seen by a select audience.

2. Size. How much space do you want to cover? If you're working on getting a full body suit, then you're probably looking at something that will cover a large portion or even all of your butt. Or, you might be looking for something more like a cute little heart to share with that special someone. In short, the size of the tattoo will be determined by the size of your butt.

3. Design. This step goes hand-in-hand with the size issue. The type of tattoo you're wanting will greatly affect the design you choose and the design you choose will help determine the size required for the piece. Some of the most popular items to get tattoos of are shooting star tattoos, butterfly tattoos, fairy tattoos, dragonfly tattoos and flower design tattoos.

4. Pain. Most people agree that getting a tattoo on your butt is fairly painful. To experiment with this, simply take your fingernails and lightly dig a line into your butt. Now try the same thing on your shoulder. You can see that, unless you have a very firm butt, the pain level is much higher in the butt than the shoulder. However, some people who've gotten butt tattoos are surprised they aren't that painful and even more surprised when they find themselves giggling.

5. Be prepared for a touch up. Depending on where on the butt your tattoo is located, especially those areas you directly sit on, you may irritate your fresh ink and cause some scabbing and color loss. Don't be surprised if you need a touch up if your tattoo is on the lower portion of your backside.

Follow your aftercare regime. It's important to keep fresh tattoos moist while healing and to refrain from wearing tight clothing or items that will rub your new ink. This can be a challenge when your new body art is located on your butt. Ask your tattoo artist if there's any special aftercare instructions he suggests to keep butt tattoos looking good.

Finally, make sure that you really want a tattoo and that it's for real not just a spur of the moment decision. Remember that your tattoo is permanent.
