Most of the tattoo designs you see today are one of a kind, but these unique tattoo ideas take the cake. Not only are they beautifully executed, but the placing makes them even more special. Yes, we're talking about spine tattoos.
Although pain threshold varies from person to person, the spine, housing our nervous system and being covered only by a thin layer of skin, deems to be one of the most painful places to get a tattoo done. On the other hand - spine is literally our backbone, and by adorning it, you might feel empowered to stand tall through life's hardships. The spinal tattoos that we've rounded up in a list below definitely were worth enduring the pain.
From subtle floral details to abstract strokes, these tattoo ideas might make you want to get inked even though you weren't planning to or were afraid of the possible pain. Now, there are mostly women's spine tattoos in this list, but there is also a fair share of back tattoos for guys, too.

A beautiful tattoo, but for me, a back with freckles like that needs no further embellishment.

I think there are orperation scars where the tattoed spine has missing parts. That is pretty clever and touching.

I love the butterfly one particularly. I'm designing a memorial tattoo for my daughter with ladybugs, but I want to incorporate beetles and tree frogs for my two boys, and that gave me some new ideas. Well done!

Less than Spine Surgery and the recovery for some of us hurt! I can see some of these and understand wanting something to cover the scars and give hope.

It seems that flower, moon cycles and botched solar systems on the spine have become a cliché, just like tribal motives in the 90's. Avoid them at all cost.

Why is it a cliche to like what others like, too?
