Getting the perfect tattoo can be and should be a meaningful and expressful process. All the searching, the hassle of it all going from one tattoo place to another looking at their flash books and not seeing anything you like 99% of the free ones are crap they are not unique or personalized at all they suck hundreds if not thousands all ready have it and most of them wish they did not get it. They wish that they had looked around a little more and found one that was original.
So forget about a freebie tattoo design because you will get what you pay for period. With that being said let's talk about your new tattoo design a little. Consider the reasons why you want the tattoo in the first place. If you want to be expressive, think about things that you enjoy or have meaning to you. If your tattoo is to honor someone else, think about the things they enjoyed and have meaning to them. Just be sure of why you are getting the tattoo because they are permanent and every time you look at it you will be reminded of why you got it.
Look at other tattoos, but don't limit your imagination to what someone else already has. If you find something similar to what you want, ask your artist to make whatever changes you want. Any design or image you find can be altered, or the colors can be changed. Your only limitation is your own imagination.
Keep in mind the image you choose will be a reflection of yourself. Be creative. You don't have to draw yourself, but take your ideas to your artist. Decide whether you want your tattoo in black and gray, or full color. Take your time. This is not something to rush into. Do that and you will be able to tell the tattoo artist exactly what you want Remember they are artist and will be able to help you get it right
Getting a tattoo design that is unique well my friend that is where you have to do some research. If you are truly passionate about having a work of art inked into your skin then you need to find the piece of art that inspires you and stands out and says this is who I am or what I like. Just remember what we talked about above. If your tattoo has an expressive meaning it is picked by you altered by you too your specs and shows people what you like and who you are then the tattoo design will be unique and personalized.
But if you just walk in and pick one you get just that an everyday tattoo that means nothing and is nothing so take your time and get the right tattoo design for you.
I have compiled a list of the top 5 sites. That are good sites and will help you get the right tattoo design for you that is unique and personalized.
#1 Tattoo now is a membership site where you can browse a large database of tattoo designs. You can print them out and post tattoo designs to see what others think about your tattoo design.
#2 Chopper Tattoo has the same things as #1 with a few variations you can become an artist at this site. This one also has a database you can look through.
#3 Find your Tattoo This site has a video you can watch about the 550 graphics you will get and some extras.
#4 Tattoo Handbook this is a book on the care of and getting a tattoo there are also a few tattoo designs in the book.
#5 Chinese Tattoos This site is all about chinese symbols you can even get a free translation on the site and the owner is a real chinese person so your symbol will be genuine.
The list of sites has a little more info on each one so as said above take your time and check out each one and be sure you get a tattoo design that you and your friends will be talking about for years to come.
