Lower Back Tattoo




Beginning in the late with the intent of emphasizing sexual attractiveness. Generally, a lower back tattoo will be designed to emphasize the shape and curvature of the female figure. While such tattoos have become increasingly popular and accepted in recent years in many parts of the world especially the west, they remain an object of derision in some quarters. Detractors consider such tattoos in this location as suggestive of promiscuity and an indication of Raunch Culture .Levy, Ariel (2005). Female Chauvinist Pigs: Women and the Rise of Raunch Culture.

Several attributes of lower back tattoos that have made them popular. While the lower back is not the widest area of the human back, it has abundant space for a large design, and horizontal tattoo designs can be worked easily. Another advantage is that the lower back is less likely to stretch and distort due to minor weight fluctuations, thus avoiding the tattoo becoming warped and faded as quickly.

Lower back tattoos are also often displayed in conjunction with Halfshirt s and Bellyshirt s (also called Crop Top s) designed to expose the Midriff , and Low-rise Jeans that are worn low around the hips.

In the past few years, tattoo artists and doctors have questioned the safety of administering Epidural s to pregnant women who have lower back tattoos.http://www.commonwealthtimes.com/media/storage/paper634/news/2005/04/14/Spectrum/Going.Under.The.Needle.Could.Trendy.Tattoos.Stand.In.Your.Way.Of.Getting.An.Epid-925296.shtml?norewrite200606271643&sourcedomain=www.commonwealthtimes.com Such concerns have largely been discreditedhttp://www.mayoclinic.com/health/lower-back-tattoo/AN01357 since there are countless women with lower back tattoos who have successfully undergone childbirth with epidurals and experienced no side effects.

There is no consensus in the medical community as to the significance of the risk.http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1108868228321_35/?hub=CTVNewsAt11 Most Anesthesiologist s will give an epidural block to a woman with a lower back tattoo. However, they may try to avoid placing the needle through the tattoo to avoid a small scar that may disfigure the tattoo. If possible, the anesthesiologist will choose non-tattooed skin through which to insert the needle.
