Body art comes in different forms, the most common of which are tattoos.
Tattoos are one of the most ancient forms of body art, for which you
will be providing the canvas. And because tattoos have soared in
popularity over the past decade, there is no shortage of tattoo
"studios" more than willing to practice their artistry on you.
Tattoos originated as ancient, symbolic art forms, and many of them
retain their symbolic meanings today. Although there are still some
people who get tattoos strictly based on the design, some of those
people tend to regret their choice of tattoo later on in their life.
Tattoos can be quite beautiful, and capture a lot of positive attention.
Most people who decide to get tattoos today choose them for their
symbolic meaning, as well as the beauty. Men and women alike have
tattoos, some small tattoos, some large tattoos encompassing their
entire body and today tattoos are more common than ever, particularly
small tattoos.
Tattoo artists are no longer willing to place dull lifeless designs in a
seemingly haphazard way, but they tend to treat the body as a
three-dimensional canvas onto which each tattoo is placed, to live in
balance with the body and any existing tattoos. Permanent tattoo designs
differ depending on culture, religious affiliations, gender, or
personal liking and selections. For certain tattoo designs, some people
prefer to look at real life photos or browse through artwork for ideas
pertaining to their tattoo designs.
Many individuals select tattoo designs from those presented at a tattoo
parlor, while others prefer to do some research and help ensure that
their design is unlike any other. While there are tattoo designs that
are gender specific, it is important to keep in mind that getting a
tattoo is a very personal thing and the image that is ultimately chosen
should be one that reflects something that is important to the wearer.
Although there are some exceptions, most men and women will naturally be
drawn to different tattoo designs. Of all tattoo designs, women
commonly select small feminine tattoos with hearts, butterflies,
flowers, lettering, etc. Men, on the other hand, often prefer that their
tattoo designs be placed on the upper arm, like a Robbie Williams
tattoo on the chest or back.
Some of the more popular themes center around the following:
*Butterlies *Dragons *Flowers *Crosses *Fairy *Irish *Celtic *Animals *Dolphins *Tribal
Some popular sub themes are:
*cat tattoo designs *zodiac tattoo designs *dolphin tattoo designs *heart tattoo designs *small feminine tattoos
With the exception of those that have already chosen their preferred
image, it can be very difficult to select from the many tattoo designs
on the spot. Most of the time, people do not take the time to really
think about why they choose a particular tattoo and look at other tattoo
designs that are available. It takes a lot of decision-making as well
as researching for meanings of different tattoo designs and ideas. There
are millions of designs out there for tattoos - including different
color combinations that have helped to make tattoos the phenomenon they
are today. If you are ready to make a significant investment in your
body art then custom design tattoos are for you.
