They don't appeal to me, but I can see how they could to someone else. On the subject of lower back 'tats, I always thought one that said "Abandon all hope..." would be funny if also quite tacky. And a final note (for this comment at least): While at the gym I saw a very attractive lady with a bio hazard symbol as a lower back tattoo. I don't know if she just liked the symbol and didn't know the meaning or if it was intentional, but it made me laugh out loud.

Some of the lower back tats look nice, but a lot (maybe the majority?) have more of a sexual connotation than I'd want on my kid. Let me state, unequivocally, that I would not let my daughter have one of these. And I actually have a tattoo (not a lower back one, but on my shoulder blade of a honu, very hawaiian in origin).
