Girls have a pronounced set of favorite themes. These can include the following:
Dreamcatcher. The main task is to protect and amulet its owner. It filters the energy flows passing nearby and detains nightmares, as well as negative energy.
Flowers. In all variations. Each flower can have additional hidden meanings depending on the variety and color. Among them, the rose, traditionally, is responsible for love and beauty, and the lotus for wisdom and spiritual self-improvement. Meanwhile, white shades show a pure innocent nature, while red ones signal passion.
Polynesian motifs. The story originates from the island of Samoa, which is in Polynesia. These are geometric symbols, based on black, revealing white intertwined skin, forming bizarre and complex patterns. These tattoos have many hidden symbols and protective functions.
Animal motifs. It all depends on the chosen animal. They are always highly valued in various spiritual practices and religions. It is believed that a person is endowed with the characteristics of the depicted representative of the natural world. So look for regal qualities in girls with lions, and gentle independent girls from beautiful ladies with pictures of cats.
Female face. Not the most common story. It's more common to find it along with animal heads or geometric motifs. Usually, this story is about beauty and protection. Look carefully at the character of the face. It can be gentle or belligerent, so these are the characteristics that its owner is endowed with, or those - that she wants to attribute to herself.
Inscription. It is a manifesto of outlook on life, style and basic precepts. It can be a text in English or Latin. Today, the most progressive girls prefer uncomplicated words and phrases in their native Cyrillic. It can be an important name, an attitude to life, such as the word "love" or a famous aphorism.
Old skool. Old school, incorporating a set of patterns, using bright colors and black outlines. Usually themes involve hearts, computers, feathers, patterns, and playing cards.
Japanese History. Lovers of Orientalism can demonstrate an affinity for the patterns of the Oriental world through distinctive prints and colors inherent in Oriental art. These include Japanese symbols, dragons, fish, geisha and samurai, as well as the East's most important flower, the sakura.
A story about a child. A date of birth or name, a symbol or a portrait of the child. Girls are also inclined to use the image of a woman with a baby.
If there are doubts, it is better to make a sketch. This can be a good practice. Pictures on the hand are visible, and unlike the male story, women have a greater attraction to the beautiful.
For them, the body is a real temple, and the story can dissolve quite quickly. You should start with a small sign on the forearm, and if the result is positive, score more space.
Read all the reviews about the master and look at the portfolio, this will avoid misunderstanding on the result of the work done.
Insects on the shoulder
Bees are a symbol of hard work and fertility. The movement from one flower to another - the connection between living things.
In ancient Egypt, the beetle received the prayers of people turning to God. The scarab was considered a symbol of the sun god, Ra.
Outside of Egyptian lore, the beetle is a symbol of good luck.

Bracelet
Quite often the image of the bracelet is found on the wrist, but often they are performed on the shoulder. The bracelet encircles it in a circle, not much standing out for its size. The bracelet is both ornamental and carries a sacred meaning.
The tattoo may include geometric shapes, ribbons, patterns, hieroglyphs, landscape and other elements. Their meaning is considered in the overall symbolism and are often additional elements to add beauty and elegance to the image. Bracelets made to imitate expensive jewelry carry purposefulness, power, wealth and temptation.
If the image of a bracelet consists of wire, daggers, nails and other destructive symbols - such a picture will not be able to give its owner a positive energy. The patterns that are frequent elements of bracelets have a dual meaning. On the one hand, they signify the infinity of being, rebirth, cyclicality.
On the other hand they have a sense of labyrinth, aimlessness and hopelessness. The heart elements in the bracelet speak of love. The nature of that love will depend on how it is performed. A broken heart speaks of unhappy love, an arrow pierced speaks of mature, true, sincere love. Heart with drops of blood - can mean the past, a bright feeling that, alas, can no longer return.
Bracelets with stars mean prosperity, success and wish fulfillment. Stars are a very good sign in any tattoos. They attract heavenly light, health and purity.

- Poppy - beauty and youth, sorrow, memory.
- Lotus - fertility, immortality and perfection.
- Dandelion - sign of lightness, weightlessness, coquetry.
- Orchid - luxury and wealth.
How to choose a plot
A girl should at least approximately imagine what direction the tattoo should be on the shoulder before visiting the master of the tattoo salon. Images that are not supported by any emotional connection are not suitable for the plot. It is not necessary to chase and for fashion trends, because the tattoo is made for a long time, and the fashion quickly passes.
There can be many variations of the same sketch, so it is worth consulting with the master, who will advise according to the texture of the skin, its color and other individual characteristics.
Choosing a tattoo, you need to consider your own individuality.
If a girl wants to capture the name of her favorite guy or leave space on the shoulder for a popular musical performer - these are reckless ideas that will end in disappointment. After all, the performer, like the guy, can change.
Anything that emphasizes personality and evokes emotion is important. It is necessary to focus on the habits, hobbies, career and everything that allows you to reflect the style and qualities of the girl. Most importantly, the image should make sense to the bearer of the tattoo.
You can choose neutral options in black and white or in color. There are 3D tattoos that look very effective on the shoulder. It must be remembered that the tattoo will remain for life, respectively, and its meaning should not lose its significance.
Where to apply the drawing
People on the most different parts of the body make drawings in the form of a girl. The meaning of the tattoo also depends on it. Here is a list of some of them:
- Shoulder and forearm. Indicates an interest in being useful, a love of movement and creation.
- Neck -- This is one way to show desperation and dissatisfaction and a lack of ability to do what one really wants to do.
- Back. A tattoo in this location indicates that the person is afraid to make specific decisions, and also indicates a search to avoid responsibility.
- Knees. The tattoo indicates a desire for independence. Ordinary life stifles desire in the wearer of such a tattoo, but he dreams of getting free.
- Foot. Drawing in this place indicates a desire for stability.
- Hand. In general, indicates the control of emotions. Additional meanings:
- left hand - desire for power;
- Right hand - desire for justice;
- wrist - means that the person cannot act and therefore feels powerless.
- Foot. A tattoo in this place speaks of a restless personality who is always on the move and wants to discover new ways to communicate.
- Chest. The drawing characterizes the courage to look any situation in the face. Also the location of the tattoo in this place of the body says about its owner, that he is aware of his attractive features and knows how to use them.
- Stomach. The tattoo on this part of the body speaks of tenderness and sensitivity, the possession of a strong maternal instinct. The owner of jewelry in the form of a drawing on the stomach knows how to keep the love of his mate.
Ethnic symbols
Ethnic symbols are performed mainly in black paint with the application of lines, waves and other figures. Often celestial luminaries, nature, animals, elements and other images were depicted as amulets, talismans and messengers of good luck and prosperity.
For a tattoo with ethnic symbols it is very important to have an emotional load, not just a winning location on the shoulder.
It is not recommended for girls to apply symbols to the body, the meaning of which remains unknown. It is better to study the culture of the country to which the symbol belongs and to understand its meaning. In most cases, symbols were applied as amulets.
However, one wrong detail can change the meaning in the opposite direction.
Often, when choosing a tattoo girls are guided by their idols: actors or musical performers. And while such gestures are understandable, it is necessary to remember that even the same tattoo for different people can mean quite different things. To make the right choice, you must be guided only by your own preferences and not be subject to fleeting influences of fashion.
Religious symbols
The symbols of such tattoos can refer to various religious confessions. In most cases, religion prohibits their application on the skin, but from this they do not become less popular.
Here are just a few meanings of religious symbols:
- Angels. Images of beautiful angels with wings behind their backs or little angels are a symbol of protection, friendship, help, devotion and supreme patronage. Angels with a wicked grin, faceless, wingless, fighting or fallen are symbols of loss, hopelessness and helplessness.
- Crosses. Symbolize endless perfection and development.
- Saints and martyrs. There is no unambiguous interpretation. Meaning is different for each person. In most cases, such tattoos speak of past transgressions, which the person is unable to forget or atone for, which asks for help from the Almighty. Images of saints symbolize justice, purity and protection. It is important that these symbols be made without desecrating the images of the martyrs. Otherwise, the meaning of such an image is suffering and death.
- Ancient deities. In many ancient nations, applying attributes or images of God to the body was considered a very important ritual. Today, such tattoos carry the wisdom of the ancestors and introduce the secrets of the past. It is desirable to choose good gods so that they help a person in his life's journey.
