Choosing Tattoo Designs

Who needs a pushy sales person looking over your shoulder while you are making one of the most important decisions of your life.


A tattoo will be a permanent part of your personality, you don't need someone breathing down your neck while you are figuring things out. Granted many tattoo studios will give you some time and space to look through their selection without a hassle, but more times than not, it takes more than 1 visit to decide on your perfect tattoo.

To avoid pressure - either perceived or real, start looking for your tattoo design on the Internet first. This will keep things moving at your pace in the privacy of your own home.

Privacy is especially important because you don't just want to look at the simple illustrations but you will want to see how the placement of the these tattoos will look on an actual body. Photo's of those placements on real bodies can be found easily on the Internet.


Here's where "Google It" really helps.

By looking at design, placement and color of real people from photographs will help solidify the decision making process. You will be able to imagine how the tattoo will work on your body contours. You will be able to evaluate color based on skin complexion and how it will work with your personal muscle tone.

There is simply no way to do this by walking into a tattoo studio.

A few other pints to think about when looking at tattoo designs:

If you are a dude looking at design - think about your body hair, will you need to shave areas (your chest) over the years to keep the image clear?

Certainly the same question is appropriate for a women but more importantly for her is the shape of the tattoo as a body ages. A breast tattoo today will look really hot, but what about the stretching that will take place over the years. Especially if there are plans for children.


A common sign used in many tattoo parlors is: "Think before you ink". The time you need to "think" about a tattoo is best done in the privacy of your own home and for as long as you might need.

Once you find a design you really like from the Internet, then you can take it to your favorite parlor to discuss that specific tattoo design with the artist.
