Beautiful feminine belly tattoos really do look amazing, when a woman approaches you with one of these it really does draw your eye to her naval. This style of design dates back a few hundred years and was mainly seen (or not seen) on Indian women. Many women now have the naval pierced as well as a belly tattoo which does look very stunning if the design is right for the person. You should also check with a tattooist or body piercer to establish the time frame between getting a tattoo done and then a piercing or vice versa.
Getting your belly tattooed does not necessarily mean the naval; there are feminine tattoo designs which seem to go from the side of the breast and come on to the side of the belly. Tattoos such as this are very intricate because they are usually made to look like stems from a rose bush or exotic plant.
Finding a design for beautiful feminine belly tattoos can be difficult as they are not in the top list of favorites for women. If you have read any of my other articles you will know that I have a few tattoos and am actually planning on having a couple more before I call it a day, well! A belly tattoo is very high on my list for my next one but I am thinking of having it done in really bright blues, reds and greens so that it stand out when I'm at the beach.
The naval tattoo can be a little awkward to look after, I don't mean hygienically, I mean that to look after a tattoo like this, you would have to keep yourself in pretty good shape otherwise it's going to get bigger and sag.
If you have the body for belly tattoos then go for it, but only after you have weighed up the pro's and con's of having it there. If you are a young woman you have to also take into consideration, what happens to your belly when you're pregnant? That small tattoo that you have around your naval may suddenly start to look like an ever nearing planet as you grow.
Belly tattoos should be given the same consideration as lower back tattoos, with a loose fitting or cropped top, people would be intrigued by them.
This is the important part: if you are considering getting a tattoo around your naval, you need to consider the aftercare, when it's hot weather or your body is hot you may get a build up of sweat in your naval (I know it's gross but it happens) and keeping this clean and germ free could be a problem. Ask the tattooist for any special instructions for naval tattoos before you have one.
In the west, it is a greedy, fire-breathing, cave-dwelling, and fear-inspiring creature that jealously guards its hoard of gold. In the east, however, it symbolizes something far different. In fact, Occident and Orient couldn’t be further apart than in their interpretation of one of the most powerful of all mythic creatures and tattoo designs, the dragon.
Although they do not have wings, as in the west, Oriental dragons are equally at home in the air or in the water. In fact, the Chinese imperial dragon was the emblem of the emperor himself, symbolizing his power and authority to intercede between heaven and earth. Like the dragon, the ideal emperor embodied wisdom and strength, manipulating the very forces of the universe for the benefit of the people. Often times in Oriental designs the dragon is seen wielding the pearl of wisdom, essentially the essence of the universe, in order to control the winds, rains, and even the planets.
As early as the Han dynasty (206 B.C.E. – C. E. 220) the phrase “dragon’s pearl” referred to the perfect thoughts and commands of the emperor while “dragon’s face” was used to refer to the emperor’s face. But the face of the oriental dragon is not actually the face of one creature but rather many. The eyes are those of a demon while the ears are those of a cow. Although the neck is that of a snake, the dragon wears the horns of a stag. Finally, it has the overall head of a camel but with a sort of lump on the top, without which it could not fly. With saliva that was like perfume and a voice like the musical ringing of a copper basin, the Oriental dragon was the bearer of profound blessings. Like other Oriental tattoo designs, the choice of a dragon is sometimes an aspiration to these same qualities of great goodness, wisdom, and power.
