Fine Line Tattoos & Other Tattoo Ideas for Women

There are hundreds of tattoo ideas for women. Finding the one you like can be tricky if you don’t know where to start – especially if it’s your first one.

More often than not, we get messages from people that really want to get a tattoo, but they are not sure about the design, the style nor the placement.

In this post we will show you some of the most popular tattoo ideas for women. We will focus on tattoo ideas for women only, as in our experience women and men tend to prefer different styles/characteristics . Therefore, we’ll cover tattoo ideas for men in another post.

Then, we’ll make a special mention to fine line tattoos for women, as it’s one of the go-to when it comes to tattoos and women.

We hope this collection of tattoo ideas for women will help you find inspiration for your next project!

Coming up with tattoo ideas can be a daunting task if you have no clue at all about what to get on your skin. To make life easier for you, we’ve made a list with steps to follow that we hope can help you in the process of getting a tattoo:

1. Find inspiration in social media.

This one might sound obvious, but it really helps if you visualize different designs and styles to get an overview of the options there are – especially if you don’t have much experience. The best platforms to find tattoo ideas for women are probably Pinterest and Instagram, as they are based on pictures exclusively.

2. Pick a style.

Let’s say that you end up liking 10 different tattoos, and 8 of them are fine line tattoos. If that’s the case, we’d recommend you stick to fine line tattoos, as it’s what you be attracted to the most.

3. Find the motif and placement.

Once you have the style decided – fine line tattoo in this case-, go back to step 1, and focus now on the specific design and the placement.

4. Talk to the tattoo artist / studio

Ideally, at this stage you have 1-3 designs you like. Now, we’d recommend you contacting the tattoo artist or the studio, and they can help you making the final decision so you can have that unique piece of art in your skin.

It’s hard to define what makes a good first tattoo for a girl -or a guy-, as it is a very personal choice. However, we’ll give you pieces of advice that might help you get a good first tattoo:

– Start small

Getting a tattoo is a cool experience, no doubt about it.

However, some people think it’s cool at first, and then they regret it. For that reason, we’d recommend you pick a small design as a starter, and if you find yourself comfortable with tattoos and the pain that comes with it, you can go then for bigger tattoos.

– Non visible areas

Similar to the first reason: the chances of regretting a first tattoo are higher. Therefore, we’d recommend getting the first one on a place where it could be easily hidden in case we somehow regret it.

– Least painful areas

You don’t know your pain threshold for tattoos until you get your first one. Therefore, we would definitely recommend you start at a least painful area, and then take it from there.

Fine line tattoos are one of the most popular tattoo ideas for women in recent years. They are often very detailed pieces of art, so cleanly drawn that one might perceive it as a drawing on the skin with an ink pen at first glance.

Fine line tattoos can be of any size, being micro tattoos one of the most popular.

What does fine line tattoo mean?

Fine line tattoos are characterized by crisp fluid lines -straight or curved- that are very thin and there’s no gradations in shade or color. These tattoos can have incredible levels of detail built in, and they are perfect for minimalistic and feminine tattoos.
