Each part of the body has different implications when it is adorned with a tattoo.
A small tattoo on the shoulder won’t be as impressive to others as a tattoo on the chest or palm. This is because the skin is more sensitive to pain on certain parts of the body.
One of the most difficult places to get a tattoo is on the stomach, which is why many opt to get one as a symbol of their strength.
Many fields of study that focus on the human body, such as yoga and martial arts, are staunch in their belief that the stomach is where all the energy that we use is drawn from.
Beyond the fact that all food we ingest is turned into energy within our belly, the stomach is also surrounded by some of the most important muscles that we have.
These are the muscles that protect the spine and other vital component of our form. Similarly, a stomach tattoo is an important image that will be constantly seen by others and the owner.
Stomach tattoos can be nearly anything, but they are usually symmetrical designs that work well with the natural shape of the waist. Stylized animals and religious symbols work well for this reason.
If you don’t want one big tattoo to cover this area, then a mix of many smaller tattoos can also look fantastic thanks to the high amount of surface area that is available for use.
This type of female tattoo is one that goes beyond the simple image to turn your body into a living canvass for beautiful art.
How cool is this mirror skull and rose flower women’s stomach tattoo? I love the deep level of shading using black and grey ink alongside the negative space mandala that’s just below the belly button. This bold old-school traditional piece uses the center of the stomach as the dividing line to split design into two mirrored sections. If you have a favorite piece of artwork in mind, but it’s better suited for a sleeve or arm piece, you can always consider going with a mirrored effect for a larger sized piece.
Placed above the belly button and under the breasts, this stomach butterfly tattoo is downright feminine and cute. I love the traditional design which use a heavy emphasis on black and grey ink shading in order to give the wings plenty of character. Personally, I find the size is wonderful for the single symbolic design.
Statues, snakes and branches all come together to form this awesome women’s stomach tattoo. Note the cracked stone details on the right side of the portrait plus the split sections which reveal snakes and in the background. I love the way the branches work their way out towards the hips while the snake head goes downwards to the waist and the tail towards the upper chest area.
When it comes to stomach tattoos, don’t feel limited to just sticking with the abdominal area. Honestly, you can work your way closer over to the rib cage side of the body and still achieve a beautiful piece of body art. Just remember that the further over you get towards the ribs, the more pain you will eventually experience during the process. This women’s tattoo features a super cute glittered dusting with three flying fairies. Sure, it’s more a rib cage piece, but I consider the ribs an extension of the stomach.
Keep things stupid simple but classy with a cute flower stomach tattoo. Here’s a minimal approach to a flower design that features a basic black ink outline on the petals and stems. A closer look will reveal a spiral pattern that’s at the center of the flower. It’s a small and simple design but hypnotizing to say the least.
Here’s a killer way to take the traditional flower or bouquet design and give it even more graceful and feminine flair. Note the addition of a chandelier design that hangs below the beautiful floral blooms above. With so many elements going on, and a visually beautiful artistic piece, you really don’t need to opt for the addition of color. Black and white ink serves this stomach tattoo so wonderfully well.
For women who prefer elegance and simplistic beauty, it doesn’t get any better than an ornamental pattern. Ornate shapes, simple dots and curved lines all come together to form a feminine piece of body art. Note how the design starts narrow at the top, then extends outwards across the stomach as it goes down further. Finally, it comes back inwards for a narrow finish that’s centered just above the belly button. Exceptional placement and execution.
