    Choose whichever one you like best and would be happy having on your body for the rest of your life - unless you decide to have it removed, of course.
    Think long and think hard, because I made a mistake with my first one and just had it covered up.
    If I'm being honest about those two, I really dislike them, but that is because they are uninspiring and from a flash card. Go to a good artist, give them an idea of what you want, what you like, who you are, and let them design something uniquely you, that nobody else will have!

    I have butterfly on a red rose on my lower back. I went to my artist and he drew it up for me. I really think you should go to an artist have one drawn up that is unique to you. It may cost a little more for the drawing but its better in the long run as you're less likely to regret it.

    I like them both :). I've been searching Pinterest for ideas because I want a butterfly as well.

    If you're picking between the two, I'd tend toward the more symmetrical one :) So the first!

    You're welcome! Have a look at artists in your area, see their previous work and ask what brand of ink they use and look it up online - you don't want them using something cheap that'll just bleed and fade. Go to an artist with an understanding of delicate, feminine tattoos, if you're going for that style. All artists have a different style of inking, from old school to nu school to watercolour to graffiti style, there are so many styles of tattoo out there these days! Shop around until you find someone whose work you love!

    Design your own, one that will mean something to you. I had a Garfield tat done on my left shoulder a long time ago, when my now 29 year old was a babe & the artist (using that term lightly) that did it wasn't very good, and Garfield always looked a little 'off'. Had it covered up last summer using one of Charlie Petty's design from Best Ink, season 1. I fell in love with her rose butterfly, and had it done in shades of purple & pink in honor of my granddaughter. I love it & she knows it is 'her' tattoo ~ she looks at it all the time!

    Nothing wrong at all with tramp stamps, they are actually a very ideal place for a tattoo. (that location doesn't sag, is pretty resistant to stretch marks and weight gain back there in the small of your back, stays out of direct sunlight so no need to worry about fading, easy to cover up when meeting the in-laws for the first time, lol)

    And I think that little peek-a-boo of ink flashing when you bend over and your shirt hikes up a little is very sexy. :) The only down side is that it is VERY painful back there, right up against the bone. At least mine was, it was terrible. And I have a very high pain threshold.

    I would advise against one of those "flash" images that you posted, though. They are trite, overdone, and impersonal. I agree with an above poster, have something designed that means something to you personally. If you get it "just cuz it's pretty". you are much more likely to get tired of it and regret it in later years. Find something that is deeply significant to you, and you will l love it forever.

    Here's mine. It was done in '06 and I still really like it because the five-petaled rose symbolizes so many beautiful things. And I love the color pink. :)

    I've always thought an arrow would be really cool there.

    Tattoos are cool.........................with the exception on the low back IMO. Something about having it just be skin is so appealing. I guess it's because so many are getting low back tattoos now.

    Standard tramp stamp - If you're going to get a tramp stamp have the artist create something just for you.
