Lolita Inspired Tattoo Ideas
“Lolita. Light of my life, fire of my loins. My sin, my soul.” (Lolita) These love taboo Lolita inspired tattoo ideas are feminine and sweet. Perfect for your girly side, you’ll beg for each.
1. Ribbons and Bows
Lolita is a novel written by Vladimir Nabokov, published in 1955, which tells the story of Dolores Haze, who became the object of her stepfather’s sexual desires. The controversial story has since became a fashion sense and style. “Lolita” inspired clothing included tea party style dresses, white knee high stockings with frills, and black shiny patent Mary-Jane shoes. Often girls dressing in the Lolita fashion participate in Comicon events. This means hair is often wild and colorful, though the standard is usually long hair that can be tied in many sweet styles like pigtails and ponytails. Capturing their lust, sin and the sultriness of the story of Dolores and her 12-year old innocence, girly ribbons and bows are a most sensual choice for a Lolita inspired tattoo design. Wrap your ribbons in a garter design embracing your thighs and let him try to take it off.
