tattoos for women empowerment image
optimistic
I'm doing some research for a tattoo. I have in memory of my grams, I'm adding to it now for my mother.
She was an incredibly strong, independent woman and I want something to show that. The only thing I can think of that really reminds me of her is the Virgin Mary, but I'm not putting that on my body for many reasons.
I'm just looking to see what othe people have so I could maybe have some inspiration for when I have a meeting with my artist. I'm not looking to copy and I have full intentions of having an original piece of art (this is my 6th one) I'm just blocked and need a little inspiration out side of the japanese symbols that keep poping up.
Thanks in advance!!!

You might consider getting the image of a woman. Different cultures might have different symbols representing femininity. Take a look at a few websites. Maybe something will inspire.

What do Muslims think about non-Muslim women wearing the niqab?
Marita
I want to wear it as a form of protest against the systematic oppression of women in our society, in which their bodies are sexualised and objectified. It is a different perspective and a different form of empowerment in which I think that when I'm in public, my sexuality is in my control. People have to deal with my brain and who I really am, and not judge me by my body.
Answer
Muslims have no problem with that ,,, in fact , you are welcomed .. and that what a Muslim woman said ...
I probably do not fit into the preconceived notion of a ârebelâ. I have no visible tattoos and minimal piercing. I do not possess a leather jacket. In fact, when most people look at me, their first thought usually is something along the lines of âoppressed female.â The brave individuals who have mustered the courage to ask me about the way I dress usually have questions like: âDo your parents make you wear that?â or âDonât you find that really unfair?â
A while back, a couple of girls in Montreal were kicked out of school for dressing like I do. It seems strange that a little piece of cloth would make for such controversy. Perhaps the fear is that I am harboring an Uzi underneath it! Of course, the issue at hand is more than a mere piece of cloth. I am a Muslim woman who, like millions of other Muslim women across the globe, chooses to wear the hijab. And the concept of the hijab, contrary to popular opinion, is actually one of the most fundamental aspects of female empowerment.
When I cover myself, I make it virtually impossible for people to judge me according to the way I look. I cannot be categorized because of my attractiveness or lack thereof.
Compare this to life in todayâs society: We are constantly sizing one another up on the basis of our clothing, jewelry, hair and makeup. What kind of depth can there be in a world like this? Yes, I have a body, a physical manifestation upon this Earth. But it is the vessel of an intelligent mind and a strong spirit. It is not for the beholder to leer at or to use in advertisements to sell everything from beer to cars!
Because of the superficiality of the world in which we live, external appearances are so stressed that the value of the individual counts for almost nothing. It is a myth that women in todayâs society are liberated! What kind of freedom can there be when a woman can not walk down the street without every aspect of her physical self being âchecked outâ?
When I wear the hijab I feel safe from all of this. I can rest assured that no one is looking at me and making assumptions about my character from the length of my skirt. There is a barrier between me and those who would exploit me. I am first and foremost a human being, equal to any man, and not vulnerable because of my sexuality.
One of the saddest truths of our time is the question of the beauty myth and female self-image. Reading popular teenage magazines, you can instantly find out what kind of body image is âinâ or âout.â and if you have the âwrongâ body type, well, then, youâre just going to have to change it, arenât you? After all, there is no way that you can be overweight and still be beautiful.
Look at any advertisement. Is a woman being used to sell the product? How old is she? How attractive is she? What is she wearing? More often than not, that woman will be no older than her early 20s, taller, slimmer and more attractive than average, dressed in skimpy clothing. Why do we allow ourselves to be manipulated like this?
Whether the 90s woman wishes to believe it or not, she is being forced into a mold. She is being coerced into selling herself, into compromising herself. This is why we have 13-year-old girls sticking their fingers down their throats and overweight adolescents hanging themselves.
When people ask me if I feel oppressed, I can honestly say no. I made this decision out of my own free will. I like the fact that I am taking control of the way other people perceive me. I enjoy the fact that I donât give anyone anything to look at and that I have released myself from the bondage of the swinging pendulum of the fashion industry and other institutions that exploit females.
My body is my own business. Nobody can tell me how I should look or whether or not I am beautiful. I know that there is more to me than that. I am also able to say ânoâ comfortably then people ask me if I feel as though my sexuality is being repressed. I have taken control of my sexuality. I am thankful I will never have to suffer the fate of trying to lose/gain weight or trying to find the exact lipstick shade that will go with my skin color. I have made choices about what my priorities are and these are not among them.
So next time you see me, donât look at me sympathetically. I am not under duress or a male-worshipping female captive from those barbarous Arabic deserts! Iâve been liberated.
