Tattoos For Women: How to Grow Up Without Growing Old

By Tim Croy

If you believe everything you see in the media, you might think that no one over the age of 25 has a tattoo. Many of the young, hip celebrities on news shows and magazine covers are tattooed, and it's easy to assume that their older counterparts are not. But if you take a closer look, you'll see that tattoos for women are just as prominent.

A tattoo can be a great way of keeping yourself feeling young. We all do some things that we regret in our wild days, but we also do some things we're glad we did and that we want to remember. If you didn't get a tattoo when you were younger, what better time than now?

Women mature intellectually as they age. They are faced with increased responsibility, and have to make decisions for other people as well as themselves. This is especially true for women with families. An excellent way to demonstrate devotion to a child or life partner is to consider getting a tattoo.

Just like deciding to marry or bear a child, getting a tattoo is a decision that will remain with you for life. For this reason, tattoos are an excellent complement to one of these relationships. Tattooing your husband or significant other's name on your arm is a prominent display of commitment to him or her, and is akin to wearing your heart on your sleeve.

If you've got children, you know that there's nothing quite like a mother's love for her children. Nothing can ever erase that love, and nothing can ever erase a tattoo. So when you get a tattoo that proudly shows your child's name, you are telling the world how proud you are and how much you love him or her.

Being a woman involves much more than just making sacrifices for others' well-being, however. This is a perfect way to advertise your dedication to another person, but you can also use tattooing as a way to indulge yourself. If there is a special memory, or date, quote, or place that you never ever want to forget, tattoo it on your body!

Perhaps you feel pressured by your age, and want to re-experience some of the rebellious freedom of your carefree youth. The best way to symbolize this is with a tattoo, which is a powerful reminder to people that you are still young at heart.

Tattoos for women can be as different as you want them to be. You have had unique life experiences now that have changed you profoundly, and you can use your tattoos to tell the unique and wonderful story of your life.
