Girls also buy tattoos to express their individuality. Typically this is to convey a message about who they are and what they believe in. An extension of this theme is choosing tattoos that represent an association with a group. Tribal tattoos amongst women in the South Pacific are a good example of this. Tattoos that represent organisations that girls associate with are relatively new but are growing. Associating with Greenpeace to promote an affinity with animals might be an example of this.

One of the most common reasons is to mark an occasion or a special event. Couples will sometimes buy matching themes to mark a special event such as engagement, marriage or the birth of a child. Sometimes these images are placed on parts of the body that are not visible in every-day life. These are personal moments that are marked for private reasons and are often not shared.

Tattoos are no longer reserved for men like sailors, bikers, soldiers, etc. In fact, there are now as many women buying tattoos as men and thousands of women are looking for good tattoos for girls online every day. Tattoos for girls are becoming increasingly familiar as tattooing has become more socially acceptable, largely due to the many celebrities who publicly display their tattoos.

The world of body art is changing. Once considered the only for men, there is now considerable adoption of tattoos for girls. This article explores this phenomenon and how girls can find galleries that are tailored to them.

Born in Costa Rica, a one-time resident of Canada, and now a denizen of the Bronx, Oscar has traveled all over the world.

He expressed his passion for mountain biking to me as we talked in the Amtrak section of Penn Station.

This made sense to me as I had noticed his bike-themed tattoo on his left calf:


The wheel is specific to a mountain bike he owns, and it is connected around the back of his leg by a bicycle chain:


The detail is quite good, almost three-dimensional, and the tribal flourishes up and down the leg add volume to the piece.

This was his first tattoo, inked on his birthday, after many years of thinking about tattoos. He waited until he was ready, so that he could get something with deep meaning for him.

Since then, he has added three other tattoos, all created by Richard at Jent's Tattooing in Yonkers.

He graciously shared those as well. First is a tribal raven:


Oscar spoke of the raven's relationship with God. In the folklore, Raven helps the gods to raise the moon and the stars. He also is known as the prankster, who is always trying to catch the Sun.

In addition, there is a tattoo of Shiva, who Oscar acknowledges as a deity who "destroys ignorance and builds knowledge":


Finally, Oscar wears a Third Eye on his right bicep, which carries its traditional meaning:


Many thanks to Oscar for sharing his amazing tattoos with us here on Tattoosday!
