The best tattoos are not necessarily the ones that look the best but sometimes are the ones that have the deepest meanings…
The tattoo design must be a design that has an appeal and good if it signifies your taste. Before you get tattooed you should consider the valid reason why you are getting tattooed. Before visiting your tattoo artist it is helpful if you try to gather details as much as you can about different styles and types of tattoos. Certain tattoo designs might have totally different meanings as compare to what you may have previously thought and can also be associated with a particular cultural group – in the case of ethnographic tattoos or gang tattoos.
Possibly the best source of inspiration when looking for a tattoo is tattoo magazines, they often contain full-color photos of truly first-class and famous in trend tattoos used by various celebrities. Look for designs in magazines, books, posters, stickers, and everything else you can come across.
Another approach is to visit tattoo studios in your area and look at the designs and photo displays on the wall or their album to search for inspiration, but keep in mind, don’t limit your imagination to what someone else already has, be creative and must imagine tattoo design according to your need.
Consider a tattoo that matches your career, hobbies, and talents, the image you choose will be a reflection of yourself. Consider the reasons why you want the tattoo in the first place. If you want to be expressive or thinking of body decoration, think about things that you enjoy or have meaning to you. Color combination must be considered on high priority and it should go on your body color. Decide whether you want your tattoo in black and gray, or full color. Any design or image you find can be altered, or the colors can be changed, use your imagination.
If your tattoo is to honor someone else or to express your strong feeling to your loved ones, think about the things they enjoy the most and what message you want to pass on. The tattoo you choose must be a symbol of message you want to convey. It should be simple and defines your message. One may use one or more symbol to make message clear.
Talk to a tattoo artist whom you respect and ask for suggestions. You don’t have to draw the image yourself, but express your true feeling to the tattoo artists and listen to their suggestions.
Another important factor to consider is in which part of body you are going to have the tattoo design. The placement of a tattoo is not to be taken lightly. It is a good idea to discuss the size and placement of your chosen tattoo design with the tattoo artist before the needle actually touches your skin. Once that needle starts up and the artist gets to work it is very hard to change your mind and even harder to have it removed.
Tattoo size is also important which one should keep in mind after deciding the tattoo design. Tattoo design must not be too small which is not visible from few meters away, nor it should be too large which might look bold or ugly. The size must be perfect according to design and depends on what part of body you are tattooing.
