Here we have an image with a couple of versions of the same tattoo design. One that is heavily filled out in black and white and the other which appears to be more of an outline, though it has the same detail as the other. It appears to be either an eagle or a hawk of some kind, but it is certainly a bird of prey and it looks to be swooping down and preparing to snatch it’s prey up in its clutches. When it comes to tattoo design the sky is really the limit.
Any thing a person can think of can be done as long as they can find an artist to draw it, they will be able to find a tattoo artist to copy it onto them in ink. A lot of times the conceptual artist and the tattoo artist are the same people, but many times they are not. Many times a person comes up with their own design, draws it and then takes it into the tattoo shop to see if they can get it done. And of course there is always somebody who is willing to do just that. So if you don’t know what you want get into the tattoo design game yourself. It’ll be fun.
Ask anyone who has had a tattoo design inked why they did it and they will tell you two things. One, they were making a very personal statement, usually spiritually oriented, and two, after their first tattoo they were hooked. Tattoo designs are not just a method of body art; it is a very spiritual custom that dates back hundreds to thousands of years in many cultures. While there are many beautiful and breathtaking designs, most people use these tattoos designs as a basis or template for their own personal expression.
The majority of the time, if a client does not come in with their own personal design, they will show the artist a particular design and follow up with, "but I want to make a few changes." So, when you are designing your own tattoo, such as with a butterfly tattoo pic, there are a few tips to consider. Think about where you want to put the tattoo. For instance, you wouldn’t want to put a large, flying Superman tattoo pic on your ankle. That type of tattoo is too detailed and would be rather large so it would not be appropriate for that area. Two, think about the tattoo design color. Do you want black and white or full color. And finally, find an artist who will turn your tattoo design into something really special.
The tattoo designs in the picture are a perfect representation of sexy, yet whimsical designs. Now some people might consider these tattoo designs to be offensive but I personally think that if they were inked correctly they would make stylish and attractive tattoos. Of course, with tattoo designs that are explicitly sexual, as these designs truly are, you want to make sure that you put them on a part of your body that can be covered up discretely.
Possible locations for tattoo designs such as these are on the upper arm or back, the chest or even on the thigh. If your the adventurous or rebellious type you could place these tattoo designs on your forearm or back of the hand. But, be prepared to handle the backlash from people who shield their kids eyes from you patently offensive design. Now, I knew one guy who got a tattoo design placed on the nape of the neck. The reaction he got when he went out into public was exactly what he wanted. But, of course he loved to shock and disturb people, so when old ladies gasped and women turned away from him, he just got a big smile on his face.
As you can see there are a wide variety of tattoo designs to choose from. And these are only the tip of the iceberg. But, first you need a qualified artist. After you have found one it’s time for the next step. You’ve decided on the artist for your new tattoo design, but now the question: what to get and where to put it. Although this is all really a matter of personal preference, there are some things that can possibly help you in making this decision. First thing, consider your profession. It’s great to see that many white-collar professionals are getting tattooed these days.
It is becoming more main-stream and acceptable on all levels of education, background, and professions. Unfortunately, though, this does not mean it is acceptable to the employers or clientelle of the professional worker. Before putting a tattoo in a very visible area of your body, you will want to consider how it will affect those around you. Whatever you have tattooed on you is the impression people are going to get about what kind of person you are. Granted, this is no-one’s business but your own, but if you want to project a certain image, your tattoo design should reflect that.
If your looking for a nice armband tattoo or a bracelet tattoo that would fit nicely around your ankle then check out the tattoo designs in the picture. These are all tattoo designs that are used to wrap around some part of your body. Their placement is limited by only your imagination and the technical skill of the artist. I could easily see putting one of these tattoo designs around the bicep of my arm or even around my upper thigh.
But, the tattoo designs in this picture are mainly for a females body so I guess I’ll have to pass. At first glance they appear to have a tribal quality to them but on close inspection you’ll notice that most of them have flower elements combined in them. All of them except for the one that is second from the right. This design pair has stars as it’s central element. Now, the black color of these tattoo designs are nice but they would probably look better done in color. Imagine light shades of green, blue and red. That would really look nice on a women’s body. But hey, that’s just my opinion. What do you think?
Here is some flash of some nice tattoo designs. And it’s a grouping that covers quite a large swath of different genres. Let’s talk about a few of these tattoo designs. The top two ones are what I like to call bracelet tattoos. They are thin and can be easily placed around the wrist or even the ankle. I particularly like these designs because they are small and can be easily covered up either with a wristwatch or you pant legs. The tattoo designs below that are larger and are most likely used for lower back tattoos.
These are often the types of tattoos that are worn by young women and have earned the unfair name of "tramp stamp". If you direct your attention to the right of these you’ll see a nice tribal tattoo design. You can see these all over the place, usually on young men. The final design that I would like to discuss is the Celtic knot that’s on the bottom of the flash, in the middle. These are beautiful designs that are often used as a symbol of protection. All of these designs could be done in black or filled in with plenty of color, the choice is yours. |
