ANGELIC
Feather tattoo
This symbol represents the divine. It connects the real world to the spiritual one.
of choosing an angel, or just a feather, you can blend this beautiful feather with an important message or the image of birds, usually cranes, which also represent peace, prosperity, hope, and purity.
Colorful angel tattoo
This tattoo was made using a watercolor technique. Although many think that it takes a different approach to create such a tattoo, that is not true.
They are done the same as regular tattoos but with a different style of coloring and shading.
This technique breathes life into your angel and it makes it look happy and cheerful. And don’t worry, despite the rumors, it doesn’t fade over time.
Simple angel tattoo
This tattoo is for someone who wants to keep their tat on the down-low. It’s very simple with clean lines and no details.
It’s a perfect tattoo for women. The image of an angel can mean different things to different people but an angel’s aura represents the light the angel has lit within.
The perfect place to put such a discreet tattoo is on the back of your neck so you can hide or show it whenever you want.
Minimalistic angel wing tattoo
As you can see, this tattoo is not made in detail. There are no shades or color. It’s minimalistic and clean.
In contrast to a broken pair of angel wings which represent a struggle with someone’s faith, wings or one wing represents freedom, protection and the need to be closer to God.
Wings on a heart tattoo
When you want to commemorate someone you love who is no longer with you, you can try something similar to this tattoo—wings with a heart.
Design a tattoo with the name of your loved one, or something that reminds you of them.
Anyhow, it’s a beautiful way of honoring the person you miss and keeping the memory of them close to your heart.
Unusual angel tattoo
The tattoo of a sad and broken angel represents a person’s inner pain. There is obviously a tragic connotation to this image.
The person with this tattoo is going through a lot and this is the way to deal with it.
It’s a simple tattoo with shading in black and white but with a bit more detail. The wings are not traditional and nor is the angel.
Detailed angel tattoo
The amount of effort put into this figure of an angel is out of this world.
The artist paid attention to every single detail and carefully played with shadow and light to make the angel more vivid.
Such a unique tattoo design for women is a bold choice because the tattoo is fairly large and it needs to be in order to get all the details to show.
Baby angel tattoo
If you’re aiming for something much cuter, then I suggest you go with a baby angel.
The lines are clear with little detail and the shadowing gives depth to the image. Baby angels are usually associated with Cupid, which is a symbol of innocence and romantic love.
Woman angel tattoo
This angel is not a fallen angel but it’s an angel that was defeated, that had its spirit crushed.
It’s an image of a female angel with her wings almost broken. The blue shadow in the background represents the aura; a blue aura is a symbol of intuition and support.
Winged letter tattoo
The best way to honor someone who is no longer alive comes in different variations.
Some choose the name of the person, some choose an angel and some combine a letter with the wings.
This tattoo is made in a black and white technique with a black shadow which gives the tattoo additional depth.

ANIMALS
Lion tattoo
It is said that lions are creatures of the aristocracy. They represent nobility and self-confidence.
Lions stand proudly and until the end. Nothing can tear them down.
This tat is incredibly detailed in black and white and placed on an incredibly sexy part of a woman’s body.
Butterfly tattoo
This won’t come as a surprise but butterfly tattoos are the most popular choice among women.
When you think about it, there are so many shapes and colors you can choose from if you want to have a butterfly.
Also, they have a symbolic meaning—they represent natural beauty, faith, and freedom.
Bird tattoo
This design is called bird couple art. One of the things birds represent is love and when you choose to put two romantically involved birds on a branch, facing each other, you’re celebrating a couple’s love.
This tattoo is a symbol of togetherness and freedom to love.
Usually, bigger tats are placed on the back but when you choose a smaller one, then it’s best to put it in the upper corner at the back of your shoulder.
Deer tattoo
Deer tattoos symbolize different things and a few of them are motherhood, love, and family. Now this particular tattoo includes birds, too.
Birds can also represent children which makes this tattoo a perfect match for both meanings
. Motherly love keeps the children safe. There are two birds placed on the antlers of the deer and one bird flying away which sadly represents miscarriage.
Elephant tattoo
Those who choose to tattoo an elephant on their body don’t do it just for aesthetic reasons, they do it because those people are truly connected with nature.
There are, of course, different variations of elephant tattoos and I’ve chosen a cartoon elephant.
They symbolize innocence and curiosity and often remind the owner of their childhood.
This particular tattoo is made in a black and white technique with a touch of blue and purple color which brings the image to life.
Bat tattoo
The meaning of a bat tattoo is dark and not so pleasant. Bats are the creatures we meet in our darkest nightmares.
They represent death and suffering. In the case of the tattoo shown below, things are not as dark as they seem.
On one of the lady’s feet, there are black bats which show her dark side, her fears, and her evil thoughts but on the other foot, the bats are white and innocent.
This tattoo is actually a representation of the good and the bad – an unusual version of Yin and Yang.
Dragonfly tattoo
Legend says that dragonflies are the descendants of dragons and they were named after their mystical ancestors.
Dragonflies are a symbol of freedom, elegance, the mystical and luck. Also, a dragonfly is a creature of transformation.
Like butterflies, they go through a metamorphosis into a beautiful being which also has a double meaning which one can interpret it themselves.
This particular tattoo is made in a sketch style which gives it a certain amount of something special.
Sparrow tattoo
This beautiful image was made in a watercolor technique which breathes life into the tattoo.
Sparrows mean so many things but two of the most common are loyalty and an ability to love for eternity. Another one is hope. Why?
Because sailors knew there was land ahead when they saw a sparrow on the horizon, which gave them hope of being saved.
There are no restrictions for where to place the tattoo. Any part of the body will do the trick.
Cat tattoo
The term for this tattoo is known as the outline technique. An outline is the first thing a tattoo artist does on your body.
If you like the outline, then follows the filling of the tattoo, or in this case, it stays minimalistic.
The symbol of a cat is quite simple here, although there are so many interpretations of what it actually means.
The cat represents feminine power, mystery, spirituality, the afterlife, and intelligence.
Cat face tattoo
Or to be more precise, half of a cat’s face. The emphasis of this tattoo is on the eyes of the cat which are deep black and the whole tattoo is done in the form of a sketch which gives it a spiritual tone.
The eyes are incredibly deep and mysterious. A cat’s eyes are a symbol of intellect and the divine.
DESIGN
Lines tattoo
The position of this tattoo is perfect. Being placed on the wrist leaves the impression of a tattoo made in the form of jewelry—some kind of unusual bracelet.
The style of the tattoo is minimalistic. It’s simple and fairly small. These female tattoo designs are symbolic to the wearer but not always clear to the observer which is kind of the point of a tattoo.
It doesn’t matter if everyone gets it. It’s important it means something to you.
Lace tattoo
Talking about feminine tattoos, this one is pretty sexy but in my opinion it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. It’s a bold choice which not everyone can pull off.
It’s a black tattoo with clear lines combining pearls and flowers—all the girly stuff.
The place of the tattoo is just perfect because it’s intimate and it reminds you of sexy lingerie.
Flowery shoulder tattoo
This flower tattoo is made in a sketch style, all in black. Not many decide to get a tattoo of black flowers but if you’re not a fan of coloring a certain part of the body, then this is the way to go.
The place is perfect since it stretches out—starting from the neck to the lower part of your upper arm. It gives the impression of life in the flower.
Tribal tattoo
Tribal tattoos feature bold designs and they celebrate our ancestors.
This one, for example, was inspired by Indian or Middle Eastern culture.
If this is something you want, then don’t think twice. On the plus side, your arm will look amazing.
Abstract tattoo
These kinds of tattoos are popular because they are very artistic. You are free to design whatever you want, whatever is on your mind and in your heart.
It doesn’t have to make any sense and it doesn’t have to have any order.
Flower cross tattoo
Instead of two simple lines intersecting, try to be more creative by throwing in a flower design of a cross.
In Christianity, the cross is a symbol of faith.
This particular tattoo is not made in the form of a classic cross but out of two flowers that form a cross.
It’s a very imaginative way of expressing yourself and your beliefs.
Finger tattoo
This is a classic decorative tattoo design. These kinds of tattoos don’t have to have a particular meaning, they can serve solely as a decorative touch.
Usually, women choose to do tiny tattoos on their fingers but the following example is a bit richer than the average.
Flower trail tattoo
This tattoo is an ideal choice for a woman because of her femininity.
The trail tattoo bellow is a very hot and bold choice. It goes from the neck down to the elbow and frankly, it won’t leave anyone indifferent.
Rose compass tattoo
The rose, naturally, is a symbol of love and the compass is a symbol of guidance.
When you put the two together, it’s simple; this fusion of roses and a compass expresses guidance in love.
This tattoo is made in a hyper-realistic style—it almost looks like a real picture. Realistic tattoos have depth, shading, and flow of reality.
Artistic trail tattoo
Just like the flowery trail mentioned earlier, this trail is yet another way to express yourself artistically.
You can have whatever lines you want and throw in some leaves and flowers to make it more romantic and natural.

It’s an excellent choice for tattoo virgins. Although the ankle version is beautiful, it would also look amazing on the inside of your arm.

This daffodil is colorless with simple clean lines and a lot of detail.
Violet flower tattoo
Purple violets combined with white flowers create a beautiful contrast. Although violets may not have been in the first plan, this tattoo wouldn’t be this beautiful without them.
Even in the form of the background, they are the main focus of the image.
White violets are a symbol of innocence which can relate to the white flowers in this tattoo, while the purple violets are a symbol of giving love.

The sail is up, there is no surrender. Adventurous people like this always see an opportunity to go somewhere and they never ever surrender, they keep going no matter what.

‘Cheers to the miles it took to get here’
This text is so simple but so powerful. Most people don’t like their scars but whether we like it or not, scars are a part of who we are and behind every scar, there is a great story.
Wear it proudly and let it serve as a reminder of how strong you are.
‘Think positive’
Staying positive is impossible all the time. We all fall sooner or later but the important thing is to get up every single time.
Sometimes our bad side gets the better of us, so we sadly lose hope but making a lifetime reminder to stay positive is the way to go.

‘But without the dark, we’d never see the stars’
No matter how hard your situation is, remember that there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
There is always a way out of everything. You just have to take the first step and make a decision.

This is Bob Marley’s famous quote. Actually, these two sentences look similar but they don’t have to necessarily mean the same thing.
Live the life you love—life challenges you in every possible way but in the end, it’s up to you to live your life the way you want.
Love the life you live—it’s not about only enjoying what life has given you, but to nurture it and value the gift you were given.
These two sentences are formed here as an infinity sign, which means live like this forever.
‘You are beautiful. You are valuable. You are enough’
This is a simple monochromatic tattoo made up of text and the image of flying birds. Birds represent free spirit.
Along with encouraging words, this is a pretty cool tattoo design for women in search of confidence and self-support.

In the top ten tattoos for women is definitely a flock of birds flying, or birds as a symbol in general.

The smaller birds are more distant which gives an illusion of a big flock.
Compass tattoo

Stars tattoo
Finger tattoos have become very popular among women and one of the popular designs is the symbol of the star.
