7. Dimples of Venus

Recently, there has been a surge of interest in the dimples of Venus. These dimples appear on the lower back above the buttocks. Generally, they are symmetrical because they are the result of a short ligament that stretches between the spine and the skin. Their name is a reference to Venus, the Roman goddess of love and beauty, because many cultures believe the dimples are a mark of beauty. Despite referring to a female goddess, the dimples can appear in both men and women. However, the dimples of Venus appear more often and tend to be more prominent in women, due to musculature.
