The way I have always understood the motivation behind tattoos is that they serve as a way to express yourself; permanently. Well when it comes to these lower back tattoos on what seems to be almost every girl I look at, the only thing I see is a girl expressing the fact that she is either a slut; a tease; someone who is dependant upon turning heads in order to feel good about themselves, or someone with an identity as flexible as whatever trend is popular at the time.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not anti tattoo. I just think that if you're going to get yourself inked for life, it should be something that you are 100% sure you know you are going to want to see staring back at you in the mirror until the day you die. Not something you can't even see in the mirror because it's designed to get your ASS more attention.
Remember what the tattoo trend was not too long ago? Those ill-thought out tat's that had some design around a girl's belly button (displayed in Spike Lee's '25th Hour' by Anna Paquin). Yeah, how are those things looking now that a bunch of you have had kids?
These things are permanent. And in however many years it takes for these back tat's to become the bellbottoms that they are, guess what? You're still going to have to wear them. Isn't that hilarious? Of course you could go through a really painful and expensive laser removal process. Or you could try something really crazy for a change.....Be unique and don't buy in to some lame trend just because every other cookie cutter of a girl does it too.
