Tattoos have become main stream recently. Some people used to frown at any attempt of body modification most notably body markings and body piercings. However, with the advent of the internet and ease of communications, tattoos have made tremendous leaps in acceptance in the general consciousness. It also helped that most celebrities are not shy at showing their tattoo-laden bodies.
Whatever your motivation for choosing to have a tattoo, you need to put careful thought on the design, the size and the artist that will translate the design on paper to your body. Another reason why you need to be careful about the tattoo design is because tattoos are by its nature permanent. You do not want to be saddled with a design in which the meaning will no longer be important to you with the passage of time. Hence, in that manner tattooing a person on your body is not always wise. The internet possesses a large resource for tattoo designs but if you really want spectacular designs scout large forums. There you will find tattoo enthusiasts talking about their latest finds.
Tattoo designs can be sexy, dangerous, bold or cute. If you want to be bold, stay away from the cute designs. Tattoos can be sexy and dangerous, sexy and bold, dangerous and bold but never dangerous and cute nor bold and cute.
The issue of tattoo size rests largely on how comfortable you are with tattoos. If tattoos have become one of your interest which you pursue with much enthusiasm, then by any means go for large designs on your arms, shoulder blades or even your entire back. However, if tattoo to you is largely an accessory, a statement which matters to you alone and have no care about letting others know then a small or medium size tattoo will do fine. You could have it place on your wrist, your ankle, bikini line, buttocks or your lower back area.
Most important of all, for the designs to be captured as exactly as you want it, you need to research on a professional tattoo artist who will make your designs come to life on your body. A reputable tattoo artist will save you time and effort, and needless self recriminations if something goes wrong in the design transfer. Also, a reputable artist will save you from infections and costly trips to the doctor, for treatment or tattoo removal.
