When it comes to tattooing in general some designs and placement areas are more popular with men than with women and vice versa. Among the favorites with the fairer sex – perhaps second only in popularity to the lower back ‘tramp stamp’- has to be those for belly button tattoos. Before we take a look at some cool designs for this specific area there is an important factor that needs to be considered before you proceed. It is important to remember that some areas of skin change more than others as we age, gain weight or even shed some excess pounds and unfortunately the stomach is one of the worst for all three of these factors. Therefore if you are considering a tattoo design with your belly button as the focal point it is worth ensuring that you choose a design that will not distort or stretch as your skin changes. Many young women opt for this kind of tattoo not thinking what it will look like before, during or after pregnancy but unlike your excess baby weight, your tattoo will definitely be there forever!
Some of the most popular options for belly button tattoos, not surprisingly, are often very feminine and feature popular pretty images such as fairies, butterflies, flowers and vines often in a circle or semi circle around the navel. These work well collectively for a larger design but also look really cute as smaller images above, below or to one side of your belly button and tattoos here are easy to conceal or show off as you please. Tribal patterns and Celtic symbols in dark monochrome ink are also popular, especially for those who want a less girly design. These really stand out against the female skin and make a bold and impressive body art design that will be sure to get you noticed especially if the rays appear to emanate from your belly button for maximum effect. This particular image is widely requested in various shapes, styles and colors for the navel as the body of the sun is ideally represented by the belly button itself.
Floral designs are another favorite often used for many belly button tattoos with the petals of the flower spreading our from the centre of the flower, again using the belly button as the focal point. This could also be accompanied by vines or leaves for additional effect and any other images that appeal to you. Alternatively, if you don’t fancy the idea of incorporating your navel as part of the design itself, then why not go for a simple daisy chain encircling it instead? There are many possibilities to choose from however so it really is down to individual preference at the end of the day.
