It used to be that getting tattoos was mainly for guys, tough guys, really - But as a wise man said, the times they are a changin’ – women now make up a large percentage of tattoo customers. Probably the favored tattoo for women is the lower back tattoo. One of the most popular styles is Sanskrit tattoo designs for lower back tattoos.
It’s also common knowledge that men love lower back tattoos on women. It may be the sexiest spot for a woman to get inked, half-hidden under the jeans. It’s no coincidence that tattoos peeping just above bikini or jeans are so popular. The most popular tattoo designs are the floral tattoo or the tribal tattoo. A floral tattoo is normally the Sanskrit tattoo design of the lotus flower.Most of the time the ohm symbol is worked into the design.
Kundalini Energy In The Lower Back
The lower back is believed to be an area of stored energy. The energy is called “kundalini” or coiled. The word kundalini has Sanskrit roots that represent winding energy. In yoga, kundalini is an inner energy that is snake-like. This snake-like or winding energy is believed to be located and stored at the lower back. This may be the reason why people are drawn naturally to this area.
The Lotus Flower
It can be observed that the lotus flower closes every night and sinks under water. In the morning, it will re-emerge to bloom again. For this reason, the lotus flower is used as a metaphor of the creation process or cycle of the universe. The lotus flower is a very important symbol for buddhists and hindus alike. It signifies purity of the heart, mind and soul. In some faiths, the flower represents fertility and wealth. For hindus, the lotus flower is said to be the birthplace of Brahma. It was a lotus blossom that sprung forth from the navel of Vishnu, the Hindu God that gave existence to Brahma.
This tattoo design can also be seen together with the Om symbol. The Om symbol is an extremely important symbol to Hindu and Buddhist practioners. It is well known for it’s use as a mantra during meditation. The ohm symbol in conjunction with the lotus flower is commonly seen in buddhism.
Other Types Of Tattoo Designs
Of course, not all tattoos use Sanskrit tattoo designs. Another popular style is the snake tattoo. The snake goddess is among the favorites because of the snake-like energy attributed to the lotus flower.
Other popular designs are dreamcatcher tattoo designs, Arabic and Kanji letters, heart tattoos, celtic tattoos, rose, sun and wing tattoos.
Women seem to favor images of flowers more than anything. Maybe that is why Sanskrit tattoo designs are so appealing to women.
