Picking Your Dream Tattoo Design
Tattoos

Tattoos are very common these days, with nearly 1 in 4 people having at least one.  Tattoos represent an art form, and allow people to broadcast who they are.  Even though they are popular, most people will end up regretting them.  In most cases, those who regret tattoos didn’t think about their design or take the time to choose the best tattoo for them.  Even though it is possible to get a tattoo removed, the process is expensive and quite painful.  To prevent this from happening, you should always take some time and find the perfect tattoo – your dream design.

Instead of trying to save some money, you should never choose a studio or artist based on how cheap they are.  Cheaper artists and studios normally lack in work quality, which is why they are able to charge cheaper prices. Instead, you should look for the best studio and artist that you can find close to your area.  Even though it may be expensive – the quality and design will be well worth it.

Old school tattoo designs: the lowdown

NOSTALGIA

Traditional tattoos possess a sense of nostalgia. Maybe the tattooed person had special comics or movies growing up which included a character with a particular tattoo; maybe the wearer would like to link themselves with a specific group or historical age.

FULL OF COLOR

Many of the more traditional designs are bright, fun and full of color. Because of this, lots of people select them because they are good fun.

SENSE OF HUMOR

At the moment, loads of people who make the decision to be tattooed with old school tattoos do so with a sense of irony. However, this does not have to be the case. Having a traditional design tattooed onto your lower back is an excellent method of combining then and now – the marking may be traditional, but the placing is not.

How to Make Your Own Half Sleeve Tattoo Designs
Tattoos

A half sleeve tattoo is a tattoo that wraps around either the upper or lower half of the arm. Since the arm is the most popular place to get a tattoo, you do see a lot of these around. How do people design their tattoo?

First they decide where they want the tattoo placed. Do you want it on the upper where you’ll be able to hide part of it with a short sleeved shirt or on the lower arm where it’ll be relatively visible at almost all times?

Next, for half or sleeve designs in general, it’s good to work around a theme. By having a single theme, your tattoo will flow and fit together in ways that a tattoo without a theme would not.

The following step would be to find small pieces to include in your tattoo. By including small designs into your tattoo, you’ll further build flow and create a custom tattoo.

What are the best custom tattoo designs?

If you’re considering taking the plunge and having some ink on the lower part of your back, you are well advised to think about having some ink designed especially for you so that your tattoo is as unique as it can be.

Unfortunately, over the last few years, tattoos on the lower backs have acquired something of a bad reputation as “tramp stamps”. This was the result of many people jumping on the bandwagon of having some ink on their lower back without spending a whole heap of time or thought into what they were being tatooed with. You needn’t make follow their mistakes.

It can be difficult to articulate exactly what custom tattoo designs are, as every tattoo will be slightly different from the same tattoo on a different person. However, custom tattoos are tats which have been specifically crafted for someone. This is all well and good, but why is this relevant?

How Much Will This Tattoo Cost?

Probably the most common question, aside from “what do you think I should get” and “how bad will this hurt?” is “How much will this tattoo cost?” I know I wondered this my first time. Well the answer is that “it depends”.

The price is dependent on what type of tattoo you’re getting. The least expensive is going to be a small, simple design like a 1″ x 1″ square or other simple shape. The most expensive tattoos will be intricate full body tattoos, otherwise known as suits since they cover the body like a suit. Between those two extremes are half sleeves, full sleeves, full backs, etc.

All factors vary, including who will be doing the design and if they have to illustrate it for you or if it’s from a stencil. Some other factors that will determine the cost of the tattoo are; placement, design, colors, size, original or from flash, time to complete, and on what the market rate is and what the tattoo artist determines to be the going price for their service.
