Most Common Tattoos That People Get

The great thing about getting a tattoo is that you can absolutely get what ever your heart desires. Of course more people are a little more original than some people. So this leads me to inform everyone what are the most common tattoos that men and women get.

It seems that women gravitate towards pretty things like the all famous butterfly, star or flower. The reason behind this is women seem to think that having something beautiful anywhere on their body will help add attraction to the overall appearance. I am happy to report that I do not fall into this category, neither of my tats are of a butterfly, star or a flower.

Men on the other hand are a little bit more complex, their reasoning for getting certain tattoos all comes back to their masculinity. For example, a lot of men will get tattoos of some sort of animal. They think that the characteristic of the animal such as strength, courage, and power will be bestowed onto them now that they have them tattooed on their skin. The most common animal’s that men get tattooed on them are lions, tigers, dragons or snakes. Strangely enough I fall into this category. I have a tattoo of a lion’s head on my left shoulder. There is a personal reason for me getting this lion tattooed on me, but I also liked what the lion stood for, The King of the Jungle. I will admit that whenever I am feeling weak or down about something I will go to a mirror and look at my lion and remind myself that I am a strong women and I can get through whatever I’m going through.

So if you are thinking about getting a tattoo and want to get something that most people don’t have then stay away from the butterfly, star, flower, lions, tigers, dragons and snakes. Of course if you want to get one of this then try to add you own twist to it so it will be a little bit more original.
