How To Find The Perfect Tattoo Design

Now that you’re ready to get inked, the first step is finding your perfect tattoo design (or designs). You likely have at least a vague idea of something you think would be great and now you can make it a tattoo-friendly reality! However, finding that perfect tattoo design is a complex process with many considerations and it may take some time to find something that will also result in a great tattoo. So don’t rush it! Many people even make it a point to mull over an idea for months or even years before actually making the leap to permanency. And if you’re still looking for inspiration, it’s sometimes a good idea to trim the fat right from the beginning and think about what you won’t have tattooed. Eliminating possibilities is often a good first step. Is there a chance you would want a skull tattoo? Nope. Great, you’re now one step closer to finding your perfect tattoo design.

There are many ways to search out design reference for your new ink. The Internet has become an easy resource of information and you can find a lot of images that appeal to you — often a myriad of photographs, drawings and animated images that all somehow relate to the tattoo vision you have in your mind. Magazines, books and all other types of media can contribute even further. But, unfortunately, not everything you’re going to find online or at the newsstand can translate into a fantastic tattoo. The amount of detail, the line work and shading involved and the size of the image will have to determine how “tattoo-friendly” your design reference actually is. Often, the images you find will need to be re-worked by a knowledgeable flash artist or tattooist to make them work well when translated to your skin.

To avoid the disappointment of realizing that your “perfect” design isn’t actually a realistic tattoo possibility, bypass mass media searching and go for the most direct method: consulting tattoo-friendly collections of flash art. These designs were created specifically to be tattooed and will work within the possibilities and limitations of a tattoo needle. Other types of art and images that you find as design reference may contribute to your tattoo vision, but you should be aware of their limitations in advance.

Ten Steps to the Perfect Tattoo Design

• Know your tattoo design resources … and their limitations.

You may find design inspiration in many places, but you won’t always find tattoo-friendly artwork. Magazines, books, Internet searches and all other forms of media are full of images, but you should ultimately rely on artwork that is intended to be tattooed and is created by flash artists and tattooists who understand the limitations of a tattoo machine. TattooFinder.com has a database of thousands of tattoo-friendly designs, which all come with the stencil your tattooist will need to apply them to your skin. Limit your resources to those most reliable for a design-to-tattoo translation, and make sure that you’re only seriously considering artwork that you know is tattoo-friendly.

• Be realistic about your tattoo design vision.

Skin is a living canvas, so there is a natural limit to what will work and what will not work as a tattoo. Be realistic about the size and complexity of your tattoo design with respect to the size of the tattoo you ultimately want. Commonly, people want to put more complexity and detail in their tattoo design than will conceivably work for the small size they want it tattooed on their body.





• Make sure your tattoo design reflects your desire for ink.

People get tattoos for many different reasons — be it identity expression, rite of passage, shock, memorializing, or simply because they like the idea of having one. Think about your reasons for getting tattooed while you work through the process of choosing a design and you’ll find something that really expresses your original desire to get one. If you want to create a “bad girl” look, chances are a cute butterfly tattoo won’t get the response you're looking for.

• Determine what your tattoo means to you now, later and forever.

Think about the meaning your tattoo will have and how it will apply to you in the future. While some people want their tattoo to always represent them, others will get tattooed to commemorate a period or event in their lives (like a mile marker). Just like points on a lifeline, tattoos can tell a story of your personal growth and development. Using this perspective, a tattoo never really becomes “irrelevant.” So what’s important to you? And how important do you think it will be long into the future? Some things that might inspire your tattoo include hobbies and interests, stories or folklore you identify with, your religious or spiritual beliefs, special achievements and your cultural (or sub-cultural) identity.

• Identify your style.

Identify different styles of artwork you’re naturally drawn to. Many designs can be represented in various ways and you might be more attracted to a traditional and vintage look, modern or urban styles, photo realistic forms, buoyant cartoon designs, delicate and feminine-looking work or “simulation” (designs that simulate watercolor, airbrush and oils). There are probably as many styles as there are tattooists and flash artists to create them, so find those that feel right to you.

• Keep in mind the importance of a tattoo-friendly design stencil.

If possible, select a design that is “stencil ready.” Tattoo design stencils are blueprints of your tattoo that don’t include color or shading, but give subtle direction to the tattooist in how to create the design on your skin. The process is similar to how engineers use the “language” of a blueprint to make sure the intended measurements, guidelines and details of the project are translated into a finished masterpiece. Providing your artist with good design references and stencils increases the likelihood that your tattoo is an accurate representation of your original design. All of the tattoo artwork you’ll find on TattooFinder.com includes a tattoo-ready stencil with your purchase.

• Be aware of multiple interpretations of your design choice.

Most people select a tattoo design based on what the design symbolizes to them. You might decide to commemorate your summer in Spain with a fantastic tattoo design of a black bull, but you might get a lot of people misinterpreting your tattoo and wondering if your zodiac sign is Taurus. It’s important to understand the various symbolic interpretations your design may take on and what others might think after seeing your tattoo. Inform yourself before you commit to a permanent tattoo and do some research on your ideas.

• Location, location, location!

Where you decide to put your tattoo will determine how visible it is to everyone else. How easily do you want to be able to show off or hide your artwork? The location will also affect your tattoo design options and what can feasibly fit there. A complicated and highly detailed design simply can’t be squeezed onto your ankle and is probably better suited for a larger space. Some designs simply work better aesthetically on different places of the body. Will your design enhance the curves of your body or draw attention to (or away from) certain body parts?

Don’t hesitate to pull out a non-permanent marker and try a few things out! TattooFinder.com also gives you the ability to access our image manipulation tools after you’ve found your perfect tattoo design, allowing you to create and print out unlimited versions for you to “try on.” Try a few options and think about the limitations of your canvas.

• Consider your tattoo future . . .

After you get your first tattoo, beware . . . you may very well want to get more. If you’re prone to “ink addiction” and think this tattoo may lead to another, think about how the tattoo design you’re considering now will fit into your larger “tattoo future” in terms of style, theme, balance of color and size.

• Take responsibility. Take time.

You’re going to have this tattoo forever, so take all the time you need to find something you love. While the final choice is ultimately your responsibility (and your prerogative), it may not hurt to get opinions from trusted people in your life. Then again, you should also be prepared to ignore the opinions of others.

And beware — if you don’t have a general idea of the tattoo you want, you may be more susceptible to pressure from your friends and from your tattooist. Don’t get talked into anything. Long-time tattooist Guy Aitchison explained this to us succinctly when he said, “You’re the owner of your skin. Don’t get sucked into anything you don’t want.”

Sexy tattoos are the rage these days. Everyone seems to want one but there is no real agreement on exactly what makes a sexy tattoo. Here are some great, simple ideas that will help make your next tattoo very sexy.
First off, a sexy tattoo, no matter where it is placed or what the design, will only be as sexy as the person wearing it. The attitude of the person wearing the sexy tattoo is very important. How does that person carry themselves? If they project a sexy air about them that definitely helps make the tattoo sexy. So remember, half the battle is with you. If you want that tat to be sexy you have to be sexy too.
Something else you may not be aware of is that may tattoo artists will refuse to place the name of the person you are in a relationship with in a private place of your body. Tattoo artists know something you do not-the relationship that is working so well right now may not last forever. When the relationship ends you will have tattoo regret and come back and want that tattoo in the private place removed. Also, there is a karma thing in the tattoo world that says if you do have a partners name tattooed on you it tempts fate and is likely to bring about an untimely ruin of the relationship. Bad karma-not a good thing.
Be sure to think forward with that sexy tattoo in terms of where you will have it placed on your body. Think about how that area of your body might change over the years. If it is placed in a area that might grow from pregnancy, or sag with old age-it won't be sexy when that happens. Remember tattoos are forever, the shape of your body is not.
Some great areas for a sexy tattoo include: lower waist area just above the pelvic region in the front, and the small of the lower back. These areas are very suggestive and are not likely to change in shape as you age.
If you choose to have a tattoo placed in the lower back region-go for something small. A small design will be considered sexier that a big design that spreads over your whole waist line-that could be considered a tramp stamp.
Any place that is considered a private part of your body is generally a good place for a sexy tattoo. The fact that it is private and only for certain people to see, makes it sexy.
Other areas that are more visible that can make for a sexy tattoo are just above the bikini line. Especially a well designed tattoo that points from above the bikini line toward the pelvic region can be very sexy. A shooting star tattoo design that trails down can very sexy.

Shocking Truth About Sexy Tattoo Designs!

What is up ladies? Are you looking for that perfect sexy tattoo design that has some sex appeal? Maybe you are looking for a sexy place for that tattoo and do not want to do the normal "tramp stamp" on the lower back. Good looking and sexy tattoo designs can be easy to find but first lets point out some of the best places for new ink.

The Hot Spots

Now I am a man and my wife has several tattoos so let me be the first to tell you where most if not all men think a tattoo looks sexy! Here are a the most recognized places for a sexy tattoo design:

Back of Neck: This gets me and my buddy's wild. When a women goes to lift up her hair for any reason and a tattoo is present.....this is great to see. For some reason, a tattoo and the bottom of women's neck is just sexy. Do not confuse the neck with a tattoo that is clear view like the side of the neck. That looks trashy! Surveys show that most men think that the neck is a very sexy part of the women' body. Enough said!

Upper Back: Just a few inches lower than the back of the neck. A sexy tattoo design here also turns on a lot of men. You want to be careful of placement however. I was at a wedding and the bridesmaid had a tattoo there and was not covered up. That was not so hot but most tats can be covered up with special skin cream for formal affairs. This is a great place if you want something a bit larger.

Hips/Pelvis: Yes, we all know this area is sexy. Getting a tattoo just below your belly but about 2-3 inches off from the center of the belly button is very hot. My wife has one here and it turns me on every time I see it. The hips are also a great place. If you leave it stick up just above the waist line and wear a low cut shirt in summer...you will defiantly turn some heads....in the good way.

Ankles: Any sexy tattoo design on the ankle or the top of the foot is hot. The only down side is again with the formal affairs. Nobody wants to see a 45 year old with a faded tattoo on her foot at a Christmas Party or Wedding. Skin creams and tattoo cover up cream can be applied to distract from the ink however.

Wrist: Very hot but would not recommend. Our receptionist at work has one hear and it is not very flattering when we have high priced clients come in. If you work at a bar or a factory where this is not a problem...go for it. If you have a professional job I would steer clear.

Thigh: Sexy tattoo designs here are great. Nothing gets a guy turned on when you have to lift up your shorts a bit to show off your new art. Most clothing will cover this up so no need to worry. When a swim suit is worn you better watch out for a busy night of guys flirting with you!

Side: My 3rd most favorite spot but watch out! Ouch! I have a tattoo here of my friend who had passed on. We always said we would be at each other's side so what better place to have a picture of him. This hurt and gave me tears but every person I have ever met who seen this gave my nothing but great compliments!

Henna Tattoo Designs - Having That Henna Tattoo Design Done Correctly Every Time

Henna tattoo designs have become popular among people of all ages. Probably, a lot of people are enticed to try getting the design they want without fear of having it drawn permanently onto their skin.

The selection of your preferred design is very important and you need to really spend time on it. Even though henna tattoos are not permanent, regretting on your choice means several days of washing and scrubbing off your henna tattoo design; moreover, the notes of remorse you utter each time you see the design.

Decide where you would like to place your tattoo. Take time to evaluate the chosen design and its effect on the particular portion of your body. All artists maintain their own catalog of tattoo designs. Take time to browse through it, listing your possible choice, then make a shortlist until you finally choose one. In this way, you are confident that you will appreciate and enjoy your henna tattoo as long as it lasts.

Choose heavy colors for your henna tattoo if you want it to last longer. Pale colors tend to fade and diminish quickly. The longer your henna tattoo stays the more value you get in spending expensively for it.

It is a reality that our society has prejudice on persons with tattoos, stereotyping them too. They have many preconceive ideas like issues on cleanliness and grooming. Some would readily label a person with tattoo as an ex-convict, involve in gangster activities, and many more. It seems that tattoos should not be seen in formal events like weddings, inaugurations, balls, and many others.

Therefore, select carefully your design and have it done correctly to avoid the hustle of prejudice and typecasting. The fact that you like your tattoo and you treasure its presence on you, then no amount of comment could make you regret having it.

There is a need for you to have your design done by a tattoo artist whom you know well. Henna tattoos are very intricate and may take a long time to finish. There are some artists who would intentionally work slowly to augment their labor cost.

A clean work area assures you of a neat tattoo job. Getting referral from friends ensures that you are with a certified quality tattoo artist.
