Dolphin lower back tattoos are very popular, mainly but not exclusively for women. The designs can vary in shape, size and design. Some of the designs are drawn basically in blue or back with lines and shading while some are drawn full of colours. Dolphins are very popular images for pictures and postcards and are often drawn like this in tattoos. With the design of the dolphin being instantly recognisable it can be drawn very simply with just a simple coloured shape or it can be drawn more intricately.

The way the dolphin is drawn depends on how you want the finished image to look and where you will have it applied to your body.Dolphin lower back tattoos tend to be drawn immediate beneath the spine, just above the buttocks. This means the design can be seen easily if the right clothing is worn, a bikini or cropped top is perfect. It can also be easily kept covered by the right clothing such as a dress or a coat, all depending on the situation.

The above is a quite unusual for dolphin lower back tattoos in that it has a design that while central is drawn across the back without any symmetry. Its style is very reminiscent of Red Indian totem poles and drawings. The inspiration for this design would have been inspired by this type of image and would probably have some history for the images wearer. Red Indian totem poles were designed to tell stories about the tribe and its members; it talked about who they were and what they did. This design may have had a similar reason for the design but could have been chosen simply for its looks.

Obviously before applying a dolphin lower back tattoos type design you must consider many things. Check on the quality and cleanliness of the tattooist, look at previous designs and discuss your design with him before having the work done. Decide if you want a simple design or one like the above example which is far more intricately drawn, of course the more intricate the work the higher the price is likely to be and also the time needed will also go up. There is also the consideration of location in relation to the spinal bones as tattoos on bone will hurt more than other places, having said that I have heard that many women have a very sensitive g spot in the area which a tattooist can find with his needle.
