Shoulder Tattoo Designs used to be for men. It would be hard to find a shoulder tattoo on a woman 15 years ago. Women used to stick to the same common area – a wrist, and ankle – but today women are busting out and with that, pushing the boundaries.

And with that comes more adventurous and unique tattoo placement.

As, shoulder tattoos are getting more and more popular so do the designs get more creative and adventurous. There is a wide variety of
shoulder tattoo designs that you can choose from. These types of tattoos can be easily hidden and revealed only when you want to.

Shoulder tattoos can either be on teh back, near or on the shoulder blade,  or on upper arm. This is a bold place for a tattoo and shows that you have confidence, and are not afraid to be seen.

While most women try for “sweet” tattoos, stuck in a gender mind set, we love the audacity of this woman’s choice, going for a ferocious dragon. Yah, the energy.

But cascading cherry blossoms can be equally striking on a shoulder.

Tribal tattoos work very well too as shoulder tatto designs for women.
