Taylor says female tattoos can be a great way to disguise an area of the body that you're uncomfortable with, like scars or cellulite. They can also help to make something beautiful again, she says, "like getting flowers on your breasts after full reconstructive surgery following a mastectomy."

Nothing counteracts surgery scars like a flourish of pink flowers.

Beautiful floral tattoos don't always require color. We love the softness of this black and gray lotus.

Filigree has been an ornamental design element for centuries, so you can rest assured that it won't go out of style. There are endless ways to incorporate latticework into your tattoo, from using it as an accent on a larger piece to letting it stand as its own delicate design. Either way it makes for a beautiful, and classy as hell female tattoo.

We love how this piece is made entirely of filigree, which gives it a daintier look.
