Sketches from the following categories are available for application to the spine.

• Hieroglyphs. The symbols of oriental writing are popular due to the fact that they remain understandable only to a narrow circle of people, and also fascinate with their unusual appearance. Hieroglyphs are a source of strength and energy - an integral part for any representative of the stronger sex. The options for applying hieroglyphs to the spine are presented in Figures 1 and 2.

• Predatory animals suitable for those men who have not only powerful energy, but also an explosive character. Such tattoos are often the personification of courage, strength, power and even audacity. Examples of the most successful works are presented in Figures 3 and 4.

• Steel arms it is also often stuffed along the spine. The owner of such a pattern is not afraid to overcome difficulties, and in the event of an attack, he is always ready to offer aggressive resistance. An example is in Figure 5. Sometimes, as an addition to such an image, one or another inscription is added.

• All kinds of ornaments. This category includes Slavic patterns, Polynesian and Celtic ornaments. At the same time, closed patterns speak of the cyclical nature of life, as well as the endless existence of the soul. So Slavic amulets can be applied, which perform a protective function against negative influences. An example of such sketches is shown in Figures 6 and 7.

• Reptile images are often pierced on the spine - lizards and snakes.

The most popular styles for tattooing on the spine are chikano, blackwork (performed mainly with black paint), trash (red and black shades), Celtic style, biomechanics, 3D, dotwork, minimalism, old school, tribal.

As already mentioned, some areas of the spine are very painful. So, the upper part between the 7th cervical vertebra and the zone of the shoulder blades is a less sensitive area. If a man does not want to endure pain, then the tattoo needs to be filled right here. The area between the shoulder blades and lower back will be more sensitive. It is painful enough to get a tattoo in the area from the lower part of the lower back to the tailbone. A large number of nerve endings are concentrated here, and there is practically no fatty layer.

The most painful area is the spine itself. Here the bone tissue is very close, there are many nerve endings and thin skin.

Back tattoos are not only relevant, but also unpretentious to care for. They can simply be covered with a protective film, they become covered with clothing and heal relatively quickly. The only restrictions that are imposed are that you cannot sleep on your back for a while and intensively wash the tattoo site.
