Lower Back Tattoo

	Lower Back Tattoo

The lower back tattoo in the picture is a beautiful example of what can be done with some ink and a little imagination. The three roses are beautifully shaded and the green leaves makes the whole design pop out at you. Lower back tattoos are becoming increasingly popular though they are relatively new in modern cultures. But, lower back tattoos have been used throughout the ancient world for many years and for various reasons. This area of the body is thought by some to contain hidden stored energy called "kundalini".

In the Sanskrit language, kundalini means "snake" or "serpent power," and this energy is believed to lie like a serpent in the root chakra at the base of the spine. For this reason early designs often had serpent-like qualities, representing intense feminine power. While lower back tattoo designs have changed gradually over time, some thought should still be given to the meaning behind a design, particularly if you are young. Young women tend to prefer designs that are playful and sexy, and that is fine; but giving the proper thought to the meaning behind a design will likely ensure that you continue to be happy with your selection throughout the years.
