Tattoo design inspiration and research
A tattoo and the design, in my opinion, is an extremely personnel thing, getting marked on the body is not something you should do lightly. I have seen dozens of people go out, get a tattoo on a whim, and live to regret it. In all honesty, most tattooists although most are highly skilled artists, lack the passion to come up with something new and exciting for every customer. They fall back to the same set of flash books they have had for years producing the same old tats year in year out. Unless your tattooist is truly in the top ten percent for passion for the art it's going to be down to you buddy, to find the artwork.
Tattoo mistakes people make
Unless you’re a total looser you would never pick a tattoo on a whim from the first place you see. You need to look around.
Getting the perfect tattoos can be a painful process and I am not just talking about being inked. 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. On to the next tattoo parlor and then you have enough of all the crap, getting a tattoo was supposed to be easy. Then you do the UNTHINKABLE you settle for something that's not quite right.
You are sitting there in the tattoo chair he's starting up his gun and your looking at the transfer in the mirror and the brains saying "I'm not sure" but what do you do?
If the situation that I've just described sounds a little close to home - I am so sorry. I'm sorry I wasn't around to point you in the right direction to find the perfect tattoo before you made the big mistake.
Getting a tattoo design that is unique
