Do yourself a favor, avoid the lower back. Do it on region of the hip. Right near your waist band. They have completely made tats on the lower back into a "tramp stamp" bullshit. It will save you alot of grief, and still be easy to see when you want it to be.

My .02.

the tat looks cool, and Baine is 100% right...Do not go the Tramp stamp route...It is almost like getting a tribal ban around your arm thing now..very over done..

Don't do the tramp stamp. You'll automatically be thought of as the name.

I thought about the tramp stamp issue, and was worried bout that, I might have to explore the hip idea......Thanks!

Same level as the lower back but on the side. I think it looks pretty hot. My sister in law has a bunch and she did the side thing, she also did two coming down her sides the same place your arms would lay.

My wife got one on her lower back before the tramp stamp thing started. Its not a tribal thing, which is her only saving grace.

all I can see is the box with a red X.... which would be a kind of funny tattoo....

I agree withthe tramp stamp thing... I kind of like the side, where your arm lies.

The pic of that tatoo didn't appear in the blog.

Don't listen to the haters! I love the lower back tattoos, I find them very sexy when they peek out of a waistband when a girl leans forward.

My wife got a lower back tattoo a couple of years ago, a nice string of flowers with a dragonfly.

I fixed it.....Photobucket was having issue's

That will make a nice target for Whistler !

seems weird to put an eye on your lower back.....if you know what I mean!

I have the Eye of Horus on my shoulder. It has a long list of significance in Egyptian mythology. The left eye of the Sky God Horus was stolen by his jealous brother Seth (pronounced "set"), the ruler of the underworld. Theoth restored the eye to Horus, who then gave it as a gift to Osisiris, his Father. The eye represents the sun or moon (depending on if it is the left or right version) and rejuvenation. The right eye is strength/Sun (masculine) and the left eye is rebirth (feminine/Moon). I like the use of the tribal imagery in the tattoo above. To avoid "Blog jacking" I will post some pics of my tattoo on my blog if you want to check it out.

My only advice on tattoos is simple: Ignore everyone else and only get inked if the image and placement have long-term meaning for you. Yesterday's "sexy tattoo" has become today's "Tramp Stamp" and may well be tomorrow's "sign of strength". Bottom line, trends change, but ink will not.

Oh Waterborn...........you rock.......It is nice to see a fellow clan mate with Egyptian history appreciation and knowledge!!

Aw Shucks Fatal, thanks! I think you are way cool too.
