@tattooist_doy

When choosing a tattoo design, it’s always important to consider both the meaning and the aesthetics, especially when putting different elements together.

Oriental flower spine tattoo by @chenjie.newtattoo

@chenjie.newtattoo

When you look at flower tattoos, most petals are placed on top of the stem, just like what you see in nature. However, the tattooist extends the stem to the top and bottom, placing the flower right in the center. Though it may look unreal, the result is beautiful.

Butterfly spine tattoo by @grettel.inkaholik

@grettel.inkaholik

Because butterflies are naturally small, they are not often put on spine tattoos. But the tattooist highlights the design with vertical straight lines and stretches the tattoo elegantly.

Many people get witchy tattoos as a reminder of their inner power. This magic wand is no exception. What seems to be a small tattoo can awaken your magic within.

Survivor one-word tattoo by @simikosart

@simikosart

Quote tattoos or word tattoos are so widely loved not just because of their meaning. They are also versatile. You can style the font, alignment or boldness to fit your aesthetics. And everyone can find a script tattoo that works for them.

Just like rib tattoos, the spine is a perfect placement for bold and big designs because it is not often exposed. So why not choose something that catches eyeballs when you decide to show it? Below is a list of daring spine tattoos for women that will capture everyone’s attention.

Black and white flower tattoo by @pauline.son

@pauline.son

Black or white ink alone might not be the most innovative tattoo. But combining them together makes a tattoo one-of-a-kind.

Lotus flower spine tattoo for women by @tattooist_doy

@tattooist_doy

The lotus flower grows from the mud and blooms above water. Therefore, it often represents purity despite a troubling upbringing. For this sake, such a visually impactful lotus tattoo is not just beautiful but also meaningful.

Black and grey tulip by @inkflow_franky

@inkflow_franky

Like many flowers, different colors of tulips carry different meanings. For example, the red ones are associated with love and passion, while the yellow represents energy and positivity. This tulip tattoo, however, is in black, giving room for different interpretations.

Elegant ornamental spine tattoo by @bibi.lea_.tattoo

@bibi.lea_.tattoo

Not every tattoo has to have a specific meaning. If you don’t know what to ink, ornamental tattoos like this may be for you. They are often a combination of intricate shapes and symbols. An appropriate position and structure will make it timeless and gorgeous.

Dragon and sun spine tattoo by @jing.tattoo

@jing.tattoo

The symbolisms of dragons of the east and west are quite the opposite. In the west, they are often seen as evil and disastrous. But in the east, dragons are symbols of royalty and strength.

This traditional Chinese art-style tattoo highlights the dragon’s power by picturing it flying to the sun. It will be a fantastic piece of body art to celebrate one’s inner strength and oriental roots.

Intricate dragon spine tattoo for women by @cami__ink

Blooming flowers spine tattoo by @chou_ta_1

@chou_ta_1

Abstract water element tattoo by @koray_karagozler

@koray_karagozler

Contrary to realism tattoos, concept tattoos are not about an object or a person. Instead, it takes a concept or an element and magnifies it with colors and lines.

For example, this one uses blue strokes to mirror the flow of water. If you are drawn to the river or the ocean, a full back tattoo like this one will answer to the natural calling.

Butterfly ornament spine tattoo by @lauralacombretattoos

@lauralacombretattoos

A butterfly might not be long enough to cover the spine. But just like this black tattoo, you can add decorative elements to lengthen the design.

Cherry blossom spine tattoo by @tattooist_flower

@tattooist_flower

Cherry blossoms only bloom for a short time in a year. That’s why they are often seen as a symbol of the past of time and life. But a cherry blossom tattoo turns its beauty permanent.

Scale tattoo for Libra by @jk.tattoo

@jk.tattoo

The scale is the symbol of the Libra zodiac sign. It represents balance and structure and is usually symmetric, making it perfect to be placed on the spine.

Black phoenix tattoo by @tattooist_jaymee

@tattooist_jaymee

If you want a large phoenix tattoo, the back is an ideal placement. You can ink on the shoulder blade or stretch it along the spine like this black tattoo. It also creates movement as the phoenix flies upward.

Flower full back tattoo by @nell.tatouage

@nell.tatouage

A tattoo that covers most of the back is not for everyone. But if you are feeling confident, why not give it a try? And because it extends all the way to the hairline, the top part of it is still visible underneath clothes. It will keep people guessing what the entire design looks like.

Red spider lily spine tattoo by @janetchunky

@janetchunky

Unlike most flower tattoos with a positive symbolism, the red spider lily is often associated with death and reincarnation. And because of the unique shape and color, it makes the perfect tattoo for those who want something different.

Lily flower spine tattoo for women by @winnie__waiyin

@winnie__waiyin

Another stunning lily spine tattoo. Unlike red spider lily, lilies symbolize purity and love. It sometimes carries religious significance as a representation of the Virgin Mary. But with their gorgeous look, it will be a good tattoo idea for most women.

Snake and moon spine tattoo by @andreinkman13

@andreinkman13

Snake and sword spine tattoo for women by @wallaceherrera

Pisces spine tattoo by @seolheetattoo

@seolheetattoo

Two fish facing each other is often seen in Pisces tattoos. While most of this spine tattoo is red and pink, the fish on the left has a trace of blue on it. The warm and cold color combination draws people’s attention to the tattoo.

Realism snake tattoo by @jamjam.tattoo

@jamjam.tattoo

Snakes are, by nature, dangerous creatures. To make them more menacing, the tattooist adds a special glowing pattern to its scale. And the way it reaches out of the frame creates an additional dramatic effect.

Sun and moon spine tattoo by @sukza__art

@sukza__art

Like Yin and Yang, the sun and moon represent brightness and darkness. Such a dainty spine tattoo is for those who value balance in life.

Water spine tattoo by @tattooist_doy

From afar, this may look like abstract spine blackwork. But when you observe closely, you will find that the tattooist captures the flow of water perfectly, adding nature movement to a static ink.

Girly ornament on the spine tattoo by @newtattoo_nina

@newtattoo_nina

Unlike most ornament tattoos in black and grey, this tattoo highlights the feminine side of the wearer with the pink color. While it may not come with meaning, this tattoo will stand the test of time for its girly color palette and perfect symmetry.

Intricate spine tattoo for Taurus

Intricate spine tattoo for Taurus by @aksinya.tattoo

@aksinya.tattoo

The bull can be a little masculine for girls. But in this spine tattoo, the flowers and fine lines soften the imagery.

Floral wolf spine tattoo by @baronarttattoo

@baronarttattoo

Wolf tattoos on the spine can be tricky as you can’t stretch a wolf lengthwise. A better idea will be to add decorations like flowers, leaves, and arrows, just like this tattoo here.

Oriental ornament tattoo by @seolheetattoo

@seolheetattoo

The norigae is a traditional Korean accessory for girls. And in this tattoo, the norigaes function as a canvas for different types of flowers, revealing the wearer’s femininity and root.

Red deer tattoo by @koray_karagozler

@koray_karagozler

In Greek mythology, deers were considered representations of Artemis. She is the goddess of Hunt and is often associated with power and intuition.

This deer tattoo is unique because it removes the facial features and keeps only a silhouette. With the flowers blooming from its horns, the tattoo looks even more divine and stunning.

Creepy spider back tattoo by @justinsandelli

@justinsandelli

This tattoo plays with the placement by stretching the line all the way to the hairline. If you have seen a spider dangling on the ceiling, this tattoo will creep you out.

Geometric spine tattoo by @axelejsmont

@axelejsmont

Geometric tattoos are often a combination of shapes. This one, however, uses different levels of opacity to strengthen its visual impact. It’s still made of simple shapes but shows how many thoughts are put into it.

Oriental crane tattoo by @chenjie.newtattoo

@chenjie.newtattoo

If you want an animal tattoo on the spine, dragons and snakes are obvious choices for their curvy, lengthy body shape. The cranes, however, might not come to your mind. But if their symbolisms – nobility and wisdom, resonate with you, why not challenge the stereotype?

Ornamental tattoo on the back center by @easy.tatt00

@easy.tatt00

A spine tattoo doesn’t have to start from top to bottom. You can place it right in the middle of the spine, making it the center of attention.

Blood moon spine tattoo for women by @tattooist_danha

@tattooist_danha

Moon tattoos are attractive to many people, especially women.First, different stages of the moon often represent different ideas. For example, the full moon symbolizes wholeness, while the crescent moon stands for the beginning.

On the other hand, you can tattoo the moon in different colors, addressing different emotions. And this blood moon is a great example.

Tribal tattoo on the back by @d.russ_.tattoo

@d.russ_.tattoo

Just like many tribal tattoos, Polynesian tattoos carry a cultural significance for the Polynesians.

Traditionally, they are used to indicate the hierarchy and social status. Nowadays, it becomes more of a proud statement of one’s culture and identity.

Landscape spine tattoo by @grxsy

@grxsy

Do you love exploring the world? If so, this traveling tattoo is for you. It has three realistic sceneries in a round frame, representing different destinations. And the unalome symbol on the bottom indicates that traveling is part of a life journey.

Flowers and sky tattoo by @k_inx

@k_inx

If you want something a little more fun, consider adding elements to a common design. Take this nape tattoo as an example. Flowers may not be the most creative tattoo idea. But connecting them to the sky above takes this tattoo to a different level.

Lightning tattoo by @jamjam.tattoo

@jamjam.tattoo

Lightning tattoos show the power of nature. By reversing the colors inside and outside of the frame, the tattoo is even more striking.

Zipper spine tattoo by @t_bag_tattz

@t_bag_tattz

Tattoos for women don’t have to be girly. If you are feeling confident, why not go for something bold? This back tattoo mimics a zipper. It’s so real that it makes you want to unzip and check what’s underneath.

Circus girl spine tattoo by @tata.jouaux.art

@tata.jouaux.art

This back tattoo for women reminds me of Cirque du Soleil. The girl is hanging on a rope as she falls from the sky. And the string that extends all the way up the neck is a beautiful final touch.
