How To Select the Right Tattoo Design

Deciding on a tattoo design for your body should not be a mere hasty decision. You need to put lot of thought into it to make that choice a success. Otherwise you will regret your tattoo selection forever.


First question you should ask yourself, before deciding on a body art for your skin, is whether the selected tattoo design is well-suited to the image you want to project to the world. In doing so, you need to remember that this tattoo will remain in your skin for many years to come. Will you relish this particular tattoo design on your skin ten, twenty, or thirty, years into the future? Removing a permanent tattoo is a tiresome and expensive process, and it is not possible to remove all the pigments. It is well worth to spend a few days to familiarize and be comfortable with the design before deciding on a tattoo design. So, the tattoo experts recommend you to first go for a Temporary Tattoo, of the design you like, be with it for a few days, and decide whether you like to have that tattoo for life. Temporary Tattoos are water transfer tattoos, which are completely safe on your skin, look like real, and are easy to remove.


While getting permanently tattooed for the first time, it is advised to take the help of a reputable tattoo artist and start with a small simple piece. This is advantageous in several ways.


1) A small tattoo design will take only about quarter of an hour to complete.


2) You will be able find out whether you can tolerate the pain involved without


stopping half way through, with ugly results.


3) You can probably get through a small design even if you find it painful.


A small design can be made part of a larger design later on. This is important because many people have a tendency to get additional tattoos once the first one is successful. So, when deciding on a tattoo design for your self for the first time, make sure you select a small one that can complement your future body art. Not planning this way will lead to a inequitable group of tattoos.


Internet offers a wide selection of custom temporary tattoos to choose from. Before looking through the designs available with the artist, you can do some research on your own, so that you can have an idea about the kind of tattoo you like to have on your body. There are many websites dedicated to tattoo designs on the Internet. You could also learn the history and meaning of the designs on such sites. Most of tattoo designs have various symbolic meanings attached to them that a novice and even some artists might not know about. So some grounding on history and symbolism of tattoo design will help you to avoid unnecessary awkwardness.


It is also a good idea to allow the artist to express their creativity to the fullest by selecting an artist’s original design. If you do so, make sure to select a well reputed artist and give him full artistic control to get the best results.


You need to decide the placement of your body tattoo. This is a matter of personal choice, and you could also ask your tattoo artist where it will look good. Some of the popular choices for tattoo placement are- Lower Back Tattoo, Arm Tattoo, Feet Tattoo, Belly Tattoo, and on shoulders.


Another important aspect you should pay attention to when deciding on a tattoo design for your skin is whether you want to integrate various colors or you prefer sticking to monochrome. This largely depends on your personal taste as well as your skin color. If you happen to select a multi colored design, make sure that the concerned tattoo parlor has the right apparatus to accomplish it in the right manner.


By taking quality time and paying attention to the details, you will be able to decide on the tattoo design that you would love to carry, for a life time.
