This is further fueled by popularity of all things 1950's and the popularity of retro vixens such as the Suicide Girls.Women are generally more style conscious than men so are more decerning about what tattoo they want and where on their body they want it. Men usually just quickly pick out a tattoo on the spur of the moment, choose a spot on their body and thats it. Traditionally it has usually been males who got tattoos. Now the balance seems to be swinging back the other way. It now appears that as many females are getting as males.
