The Reason You Should Consider Custom Tattoo Designs

Tattoos are a form of personal expression and experience. Custom tattoo designs are the most difficult and time consuming type of tattoo to decide upon. The reason for this is that most tattoo enthusiasts that desire custom tattoo designs start with a vague vision in their mind and methodically work toward the final tattoo design.

It is becoming increasingly unpopular to simply walk into your local parlor and look at the common designs posted on the walls or in the multitude of books the local parlors have for you. Remember how permanent an inking is so it is very much worth the time, effort and in most cases a little sum of money to find design combinations that will work for you.

Custom tattoo designs are unique to you; you will design it with the guidance of friends, artists or online galleries, all of which should be considered. These designs are so much more personal than flash art and will represent your heart and soul; a true statement of your life, good or bad, tender or not.

You will need to custom design your tattoo to fit the area of your body you want to have it inked to. Then the lettering needs to fit if you choose lettering, the color combinations are also as important as the actual design itself.

The method I suggest to come to the ultimate custom tattoo design for you is to write down and organize your ideas and the steps to accomplish your goal of a stunning custom tattoo design. Start with the purpose or message you want the tattoo to represent. Second, write down three sources you want to investigate for ideas. I would suggest starting with a close friend or relative who would have a connection to the experience or message you want to depict. Then also strongly consider online galleries because it is here where the best artists in the world are connected and blogs are available where others may offer suggestions that your local artist wouldn't ever consider. Quality online galleries also will offer you the ability to mix colors and design ideas so you won't need to just visualize these items in your mind, you will be able to actually see them before you decide. My last option would be go talk to my local artist and employ their help in finalizing the designs, being sure they are able to professionally apply your custom tattoo designs exactly as you have designed it.

Add sub categories to this action plan in as much detail as you wish and the end result will be custom tattoo designs that represent art beyond what you envisioned. Keep in mind this will take time and research, it will probably require starting over a few times but the final product will be a collaboration of creative thoughts that will be unique to you, you will own it and that should be your final goal.
