Where to Pick Your Next Tattoo Design From

If we take a look around, we see almost everyone with a tattoo these days. Most of the people have more than one design tattooed strategically placed on their bodies. Some look very attractive while some don't appeal at all. The reason why some designs are eye-catching is that the person sporting that tattoo has chosen it with care. They select a design that suits their personality and matches their cultural and religious affinity. In other words, they pick a design that suits them.

When it comes to picking a tattoo design, most people wonder where to start from. There are various options for tattoo enthusiasts to check the designs and make a final choice. Let's discuss them below.

The first option is to check the latest edition of any tattoo design magazine for the kind of designs that you like. While going through the magazine, keep in mind that some designs might look good on paper but you may not like them tattooed on your skin.

The second option is to check the web. There are many tattoo websites that display numerous designs in one or more categories. If you like a particular website or their designs keep checking for any discounts on first tattoo or free trials offered from time to time. Just be prepared that there are a lot of outrageous tattoos on the market, and some of the more outrageous ones may look amazing, but they may not really reflect your true self. Also consider your profession while selecting a tattoo design to make sure that a particular tattoo design will be acceptable in your workplace.

There are talented tattoo designers associated with websites who offer to create custom tattoo designs based on your ideas and personal preferences. Though they charge relatively more but if you compare it with the fact that a tattoo is going to remain etched on your body for the rest of your life, it's worth the investment.

If you don't have a specific design in mind, take some time and look at all the designs that are available. There are traditional styles that have a black outline and beautiful colors inside the spaces to create a remarkable masterpiece. There are also many abstract designs that blend outlines and colors as well as others that have the colors blended together without separations. In addition, there are ancient hieroglyphics and Sanskrit words that also reflect an emotion or personal view. But, make sure that the work is written precisely so that the word is tattooed accurately because a small imperfect mark could make it a totally different word.

It would also be a good idea to go to one of the tattoo parlors and talk with the artists to get some ideas and recommendations. Take a look at all the different designs available with them including animals, flowers, mythical characters including dragons and fairies, as well as faces, places, cars, and so much more.

As you select the design, think about the placement of the tattoo. Determine exactly where you wish to get the design tattooed. Keep in mind that some places are more painful than others. For instance; the most painful location for men to have a tattoo tends to be the chest, spine, and abdomen, and for women the ankles, ribcage, and spine are also the most painful. The least painful areas for men are the back and arm, and for women are the shoulder, thigh and abdomen.
