This gallery of bow tattoos proves that while a fabric bow may most frequently be seen on a little girl, the fashion has grown up. We've seen a rise in bow tattoos, especially ones located in sensual places like the lower back and hip. My favorite color scheme for this [sweet ink](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackdot-device) is red, as it has a romantic touch.
