Choosing the Perfect Tattoo Design for Your Lifestyle

When you are contemplating tattoo designs, heaps of people will advise you to bear in mind that tattoos are permanent, you will have it for life, and the judgments roll on. But don't fully dismiss the advice, down a bottle of booze and wander off to have a Thai bargirl's face tattooed on your biceps, cause the day will come when it may come back to haunt you! At one time or another, we all have spotted some very ghastly tattoo designs and you will surely not want to be the scapegoat for the world's biggest tattoo disasters However, with a bit more thought, maybe a little less tequila and a talented tattoo design artist you can have an exquisite and memorable tattoo that you'll be proud to show off. The first thing to think about when choosing your perfect tattoo is your initial tattoo design.

Possible designs to stay away of are names of boyfriends or girlfriends. Pretty obvious stuff - sometimes when that first flash of adolescent infatuation passes all you're left with is some broken CD's, a bag full of old t-shirts and your ex's name embossed upon your heart! Or that amazing heavy metal band along with their cool logo of 2 snakes wrapped around a large pair of naked breasts may be the coolest thing you've ever seen tattooed on someone's forearm right now but how will it feel picking the children up from kindly in 10 years time with it on show. Another important detail to consider in choosing your new tattoo is will it stand the test of time, take for example, the rose tattoo on your right breast may be appealing and seductive when you're twenty one, but 15 years on when you've breast-fed three kids the skin elasticity is not entirely going to be holding that pretty bit of ink where it was once!

So one final tidbit of general advice is try to be able to hide your tattoo if absolutely necessary - a good rule of thumb here is leave the backs of your hands and keep your neck clean and then if you've got to attend a funeral or front up in court everything else can be covered!But that's enough negativity - tattoo's are amazing and will showcase your individuality and creativity like no other art form! If you choose tattoo designs which have deep meaning for you or that you have drawn up yourself they will not ever become an item of shame and will always describe the individual you are and who you once were
