Tattoo Designs For The Right Reasons

Tattoo Art

Many people believe that tattoos are a form of art, others think that they show their true personality, whether you already have a tattoo, or are just thinking about getting your first, ask yourself this question; why?

... the answer? Well there is no right or wrong answer only a reason that you think warrants permanently “inking” your skin. It could be to remember a special occasion or even to mark the passing of a loved one, whatever the reason may be it is up to you to decide the outcome. There is one thing I hate more than when people get tattoos and complain afterwards that they wished it were different, it’s when people ask me if I think they should get a tattoo... how the heck should I know?! It’s completely ridiculous to ask somebody else to make the decision for you. You will be the one who has to live with the tattoo design on your body.

However if you’re already thinking of getting a tattoo then chances are, if your anything like me, that you’ll have already convinced yourself of the reason, next thing to think about is the design.

When choosing your design(s) try to think about the future as much as possible, do you want a scroll with your ex wife/girlfriend/dog etc on the back of your neck?? Just because certain celebrity figures have it done doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily the best design for you. Be a leader not a follower and where possible try to create something unique instead of picking a number off a board like ordering a Chinese take away on a Friday night!

Which in fact leads nicely into my final point about people getting tattoos, never and I mean never get a tattoo when under the influence of alcohol! This is an absolute travesty to the industry and the tattooist trade. Not only is your judgement of what a good design may be severely hampered, you can bet your bottom dollar that the artist that is willing to tattoo you whilst under the influence is an absolute clown who couldn’t spell his own name. Let alone create a masterpiece from the name of the nightclub you just visited!

My final comment is this... take your time, a tattoo design will be with you for life make sure you're going to be happy with it.

If you are a woman who’s on the prowl for tattoo designs, you may be a little bit disappointed by the overly aggressive, masculine flash art that you’ve seen in the tattoo parlors. Just remember though, that even if those designs are the only things that are on display, they are usually not the only things that the tattoo artist can do! Take a look online for tattoo galleries that can help you find the flash you need for the perfect tattoo.

When looking for online galleries of tattoo art, one way to search is by topic. Think about the tattoo you are interested in having on yourself, and think about what it means to you. For instance, if you’re interested in having something slinky, very feminine and just a little sly, think about a cat tattoo and search for good cat tattoo flash. The more specific your search, the more you will be able to narrow down what it is you are looking for.

Searching online can be time-consuming, but as large as the internet is, chances are, you’ll find the right tattoo flash art, or at least find a design that you can modify. Remember that several of these sites require that you pay for the design before you print it out.

One online gallery that you can take a look at is Chopper Tattoo. This exhaustive site has an enormous gallery of tattoo pictures as well as a place where up and coming tattoo artists have posted flash art that they are interested in sharing. These galleries are sorted by topic and subject, so whether you want to take a look at floral tattoos or tattoos of popular cartoon characters, you can usually find it there. There are thousands of award winning Tattoo Designs.


When you are looking for online tattoo galleries, don’t forget to look at general art sites as well. Deviantart and Elfwood are two online galleries for artists and you can find plenty of tattoo inspiration. There are plenty of design sites online that have lovely, more abstract art for you to peruse. When you are looking for the perfect tattoo for you, looking in unlikely places can find you the perfect tattoo that you’ve always been looking for.

No matter where you are searching for a tattoo, don’t forget to speak with your artist. He or she might have some terrific ideas on where to search, and if you are lucky, they might be able to draw you up a piece of personalized art!

Making the decision to get a tattoo requires a lot of thought and is not to be taken lightly as there are a lot of factors to consider. So you want one… but what sort of design do you want and where on your body will it go? A tattoo is for life and can say an awful lot about you so you have to make sure the choices that you make are the right ones for you. Look at the designs in a few tattoo art parlors to see what previous clients have had or design one yourself, but don’t rush into choosing one that you might regret. You should always try to decide on the design and placement of the tattoo before you actually go to get it done. There are many sources of information on tattoos on the Internet. Simply use a search engine to find specialist websites.


It is always worth popping into your local tattoo parlour for some free tattoo advice, they will be able to advise you on popular trends. Tribal tattoo's have been very popular of late aswell as chinese symbols. Maybe you don't want a tattoo that many other people have making this advice just as valuable.

You might consider choosing a temporary tattoo design to see if you really do want to express yourself through body art. 1 in 4 people don't like their tattoo design once completed, don't make yourself one of these people as laser treatment and removal can be very expensive and painful.

It is worth looking at as much tattoo art and tattoo pictures as possible before you settle on any design. You may even consider designing your own using other designs as your inspiration.

Make sure you consider how you may be stereotyped and ask your friends and family for their opinions before you go ahead and get a tattoo. It may also be worth checking your employer’s opinions and policies too. It all adds up to an informed decision that you will not regret. As long as you are absolutely certain that this is what you want, go ahead and get it!
