It was the part of my body with the most "cushion" and I was told it would hurt less. And, it didn't hurt at all... And, it's easy to hide....

Not everything a woman does is about men... what a chauvinist thing to say...

Amen to that!  My tattoo placement is entirely based on what is most limited in visibility and what isn't gonna hurt like hell to get.  And in my opinion, there are only a few acceptable places for a woman to have a tattoo anyway.

I'm surprised it didn't hurt at all...... I would think it would when it was being done over your spine or tailbone (I had an ex who got it too low lol)

Really?  They must do it to impress men?  Interesting.  Do you think men get tattoos to impress women?

Actually, I got it in the spot in between were my pelvic bone meets. Theres a little more  "meat" back there and it only hurt a little when he hit the bone on either side... other than that, it was a little annoying.

Hey look!  It's the tattoo hater, pretending to know things about people with tattoos!

Well damn!  What the hell do I know?  At 46 yrs of age and many tat's, I didn't realize they were to impress someone else.  I thought they were all the drawings that I did, at different points in my life, to represent the stages, and the hurdles, and be a token and symbol of what I had come thru, and where I had been, and keep them in my memory. 

Silly me . . .

Well of course tatoos are to symbolize that as well when it comes to what it is of, but I think location is key too.

Exactly... All the modifications I have done and will do to my body have been for my own personal reasons.. I can care less what other people think.

I think it's odd that there's a presumption that putting a tattoo there has anything to do with anyone but the person getting it.  I like that spot because it's private.  Even when I'm nude, my hair covers it.  Most people never have any idea I'm tattooed.  (Or didn't, before I got one on my wrist.)

Some girls aren't like that, some like it to peak out from under their shirt when they bend over, or what not. So it's also how you treat as well. I know it's not a tatoo, but I got my navel pierced for my private satisfaction, but I don't mind the ocassional slip because it feels and looks sexy. :-D

Not true... my tattoo only hurt when he went over the bone. It's all about you tolerance of pain, which you may just have a low one.

Your excatly right. I got mine to impress as many men as I could. Not because I liked it or I wanted it for me, but to impress men. Really now, get your head out of your ass.

was cool the first few times i saw the lower back..still the coolest place for pain is the inside of the lip.. Lars from Rancid has "BEER" on his.. messed up place to get one.
And i got my arm tatoos done in 89 to prove i was a punk and not wanting to be a part of normal society..now i hide them as i still don't want to be a part of mainstream society

That's funny, my friend got Killian's tattooed on the inside of his cause he said there's nothing like always having Killian's on your lips...hahaha

yea its pretty lame. no offense.

Finally, some people who actually get it.  It is the absolute lamest thing I've ever seen in my life. 


In fact, I think all tattoos are dumb, regardless of the reason a person gets it.  Not only that, I think piercings are stupid, too.  Except for piercing of the elbow.  That's okay.  And the whole coloring the hair concept... what's that all about?  I mean, who in their right mind would want to color the hair on their head??  Best to just dye your pubes or nose hair.  And really, wearing jewelry... that shit is stupid, too.  I mean think about it: jewelry.  The word just sounds idiotic.  Why would anyone put it on, I mean you weren't born with it.

I mean, let's just run with this thing... what's up with clothes?  The concept is like el lamo to the max-o, you know?  And breathing.  Damn, that's the most foolish thing I've ever heard...



What the fuck.  It's a tattoo on the lower back.  You either get them or you don't.  You either like them or you don't.  The reasons for liking/getting or not liking/getting are up to the individual.  Please...

I remember when I got my piercing, I screamed my ass off. Like literally screamed. Freaked out the piercer. And then later on that day someone made fun of me because theirs "didn't hurt at all".

Peh.

Guys quit ragging on them for their opinion. They have their opinion for not liking them, just like you have your opinions for liking them.

Tattoo needles aren't that big.  That's just a lot of them and they move fast.

I think lower back tattoos are a bit silly.  However, the placement of mine are rather masculine to most people (upper arms and outside of my calf), so I guess it's all dependent on what you like. 

I will say that the arguement about whether people have any tattoos, lower back or not, because others have them is a bit silly.  You saw someone with a tattoo and liked it, decided you wanted it for yourself, and had it done.  You didn't do it for other people, but you more than likely did it because of other people.
