The Key to a Perfect Tattoo Design

Getting a perfect tattoo design is not difficult, but you have to be patient and persistent. The real key to getting a great design is to start with great tattoo idea. Begin by asking yourself, “Will this tattoo design still look good in 10 years?” The following tips will help you narrow down your choices and discover the perfect tattoo design for your personality.

You might even talk to a tattoo artist about the design and see if they have an idea to improve on it, or customize it to your personality.

Taking time to research different symbols, phrases and patterns will help you select a tattoo design that describes your personality. If you are thinking about getting words inked onto your body, try different tattoo lettering styles.

Once you have a clue about the type of tattoo design you want, it’s time to start thinking about its location. Remember, location is just as important as design. One of the best ways to get a great tattoo idea is to visit a well-respected tattoo artist. A word of warning: if you run your idea by an accomplished tattoo artist and he/she doesn’t think its right for you--you should think long and hard before continuing with that specific tattoo. Tattoo artists are professionals, and the good ones seen it all have seen it all when it comes to tattoos--been there done that. If they don’t think your tattoo idea will work well for you, listen to them!
