Lower-back tattoo

A lower-back tattoo is a type of tattoo that some people get on their lower back. This is the part of the body just above your bottom.

When you get a tattoo, a special tool called a tattoo gun puts ink into your skin. The tattoo artist will draw a picture or design on a special paper called a stencil, and then put that stencil on your skin. They use the tattoo gun to trace over the design and put the ink into your skin.

Some people like to get tattoos because they think they look cool or because they want to express something about themselves. A lower-back tattoo is popular because it can be covered up by clothing, but can still be shown off when you wear clothes that show your lower back.

It's important to remember that getting a tattoo is a big decision that you should think about carefully. It can be painful, and it's permanent, which means you will have it for the rest of your life. Before you decide to get a tattoo, talk to your parents, a trusted adult, or a tattoo artist to make sure it's the right choice for you.
