Today, women know what they want, and have no problem expressing it. So it's not surprising to see female tattoos coming out on body locations that years ago, no woman would dare to bare.

It use to be, the only women bold enough to get tattoos were the reckless and wild girls, or the women of the "secret society" that dared to get tattoos but kept them well hidden.

Even then, female tattoos were simple, basic designs of roses, hearts, and occasionally a lover's name tattoo.

Then along the way, women stepped out of the shadows, into plan view. And as the saying goes "You've come along way baby!" and so have female tattoos.

Today, tattoos are the hottest fashion trend with hordes of women accessorizing their bodies with bold tattoo designs, from head to toe and everywhere in between.

The most popular female body locations to tattoo are:

1. lower back
