Unique Tattoos For Women – Reasons And Meanings For Choosing Them

Women are special and so is the body art that they choose to decorate themselves with. Over 65% of the tattoos being done today are for the female and we’re no longer hiding them. Flowers, butterfly tattoos, angel tattoos, angel wings, heart tattoos, and butterfly wings of various sizes are some of the most popular for women, and one of the more popular locations for tattoos is on the lower back, sexy and visible when you choose, or hidden if it is appropriate for the occasion. The preferable designs for the lower back are tribal tattoos. Other places where we like to be inked are the ankles (usually smaller sized tattoos), foot, the navel area, shoulders (front and back), breast, buttocks, and thighs.

Women do more research and place more thought into their tattoos. We know what we want, where we want it, and the color (or black and white) before we go to the tattoo parlor. This tattoo will be with us for a lifetime and it’s an important decision. Picking a special tattoo at the parlor can be a rushed experience and the designs can be limited. With internet sites you can choose the design on your time: shop, buy, download, print. No one is looking over your shoulder, hurrying you.

What prompted this idea to get a tattoo? Usually a woman will make that final decision because of a significant event in her life: marriage, death, divorce, new relationship, new baby, a milestone birthday, a celebration. Based on your reason, you may want to choose a design with a specific meaning. Here are a few ideas.

Butterflies and butterfly wings are two of the most popular tattoos for women. In many cultures these have a spiritual meaning as this symbol stands for the soul and spiritual elevation. The butterfly is feminine, and the design can be small yet still distinct in markings that so that it can easily be placed on the ankle, breast, etc, and be classy.

Next most popular are flowers. Flowers come in many varieties:
•Roses- red for romantic, black for death, yellow for joyfulness, and your own distinctive color that will have a unique meaning just for you
•Hawaiian – while there are several flowers under this category, the Hawaiian flower is

generally thought of as a symbol of hospitality and friendship which is why leis are so abundant as welcoming gifts
•Lotus – good fortune, peace
•Hibiscus – the state flower of Hawaii
•Orchid – love, luxury, beauty, strength
•Lily – symbol of purity, in some areas it can symbolize erotic love

Why We Celebrate Easter, Easter Songs, Bunny Crafts, Homemade Easter Card Sayings And More

Why Do We Celebrate Easter?

For many of us, Easter is a time for painting eggs, eating chocolate and admiring bunnies. In modern times, Easter has become an increasingly secular celebration, in which people rejoice at the coming of spring and its promise of new life. Just as with Christmas, this move away from Easter’s Christian origins can partly be explained by the diversity of people wanting to participate in the holiday. Nonetheless, many Christians would like to remind everyone of why we celebrate Easter.

Easter Sunday celebrates the resurrection of Jesus Christ three days after his crucifixion. Good Friday is a solemn church holiday which remembers this crucifixion of Christ on the Cross at Calvary. In the Roman Catholic church, Good Friday is marked with a fast. Many protestant churches mark the crucifixion on the Wednesday before Easter instead, coinciding with the sacrifice of the lamb in Jewish Passover. Lambs are a common symbol at Easter as a symbol for Christ, “the lamb of God”

On Easter Sunday, many Christians rejoice and sing at church services, made all the more special by the solemn remembrance before. Some Christians have developed other joyous Easter traditions, such as flying kites to symbolize Christ’s rise to Heaven. In the happy tone of Easter, here are a few Easter songs especially for children.

Christian Easter Song for Children

This song is sung to the tune of “Mary Had a Little Lamb.” Almost every child knows that song! Sing this song while kids make the Beaded Cross Easter Card.
Jesus is alive today, alive today, alive today. Jesus is alive today, it is Easter morning!

Bunny Easter Song for Children

This cute song is a great way to engage with young children on Easter. Sing this songs as you make Foam Egg Magnets.

Five Little Easter Eggs
Five little Easter eggs lovely colors wore,
(Hold up five fingers)
Mother ate the blue one, then there were four.
(Bend down one finger)
Four little Easter eggs, two and two you see,
Daddy ate the red one, then there were three
(Bend down one finger)
Three little Easter eggs, before I knew,
Sister ate the yellow one, then there were two.
(Bend down one finger)
Two little Easter eggs, oh, what fun!
Brother ate the purple one, then there was one.
(Bend down one finger)
One little Easter egg, see me run!
I ate the last one, and then there were none.
(Bend down last finger)

Why the name Easter?

Christian missionaries noticed that their celebration of the resurrection of Christ occurred during pagan celebrations of the spring equinox. The pagan goddess of fertility and birth celebrated at this time was called Eostre. The missionaries adopted the celebratory tradition into a Christian holiday. Easter eggs are of course the classic symbol of fertility and have been associated with spring celebrations since ancient times. Classically, eggs were forbidden to Christians during the 40 days of Lent between Ash Wednesday and Easter and thus became an important part of the Easter celebration.

Where does the Easter bunny come in?

Just like the egg, the bunny is another ancient symbol of fertility and new life. One Anglo-Saxon myth says that Eostere changed a pet bird into a bunny which laid colored eggs to entertain children. The Easter bunny become a figure much like Santa, which brings presents to good children. In a German tradition, children would hide brightly colored nests often made from bonnets around the house for the “Osterhase” or Easter bunny to leave colored eggs. This has evolved into the tradition of hiding Easter baskets, nests and eggs themselves.
Crafters can celebrate the Easter bunny with great Easter Bunny crafts here at FaveCrafts.

The Legend of the Easter Lily

Christian tradition says that beautiful white lilies grew where Christ’s sweat dropped to the ground when he was being crucified. The Lily of the Valley is one of the first flowers to open in the spring, thus closely associated it with spring celebrations and Easter. The lily is also a symbol of the Virgin Mary. Christ used the symbol of the lily in one of his most famous quotes:

“Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin; and yet I say to you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If then God so clothes the grass, which today is in the field and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will He clothe you, O you of little faith?”
(Luke 12:27-28; see also Mt 6:28-29
1000
).

John 11:25-26
Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die.

“Easter” by Kay Hoffman

Although it happened long ago,
that first glad Easter day;
within the true believer’s heart,
it’s just as real today.
The Roman guards who kept the watch,
the early morning gloom,
the angel’s words, “He is not here”
resounding from the tomb.
And oh, the joy in Mary’s heart
while in the garden fair
to see her blessed Lord appear
upon the pathway there.
Although it happened long ago,
it still is true today;
oh, let our hearts rejoice and sing,
the stone is rolled away.
May the spirit of hope that Easter brings,
Help you find contentment in little things,
And restore your faith in the Lord above,
Who gave His life for the ones He loves.
