Design Your Own Tattoo Tips

By Raymond Ebersole


If you want to be tattooed and you want something that is unique and interesting you might want to consider creating a design yourself. Doing this will ensure that what you have is unlike anything else in the world, which will set you apart from others, which is the aim of many tattooing fans. With this in mind here are some tips on how to design your own tattoo.

The first thing that you need to do is think about what you would like to have. You may already have a few ideas on this or you might be totally in the dark. Whatever you are thinking you can draw inspiration from other work and images that are available to see.

It's also important that you think about where you want to get tattooed as this can have an impact on the size and shape of the image you create. It's pointless designing something huge if you only want a tiny image on your ankle. So decide this and you can make a start and let your creative side out.

People who feel that they don't have the flair to draw something themselves can get someone else involved. This might be your tattooist or someone you know that can draw well. Work with them and you will be able to create an image that you love that you would be more than happy to have inked onto you for life. At this stage you can make changes quickly and easily.

There are also programs online that will help you with this process and you might want to try one out. As this will be costing you nothing you have nothing to lose by doing it. Play around with images and see where you get, you could really surprise yourself and create something you love.

You will get to a point where you are pleased with what you have made and you will want to go out and get inked immediately. If you have been tattooed already you probably won't think twice about this, but if you are newcomer to the scene you should think it over. Remember that this is a big decision to make and you need to be happy with it so give yourself breathing space and keep referring to the image to make sure its what you want.

Don't be worried about changing parts of the idea when you are ready to go. Many people will change a color or add something else when they are with their tattooist. This is totally normal so don't be afraid to speak out when you are in the chair. Do this and you will not find yourself with a tattoo that you hate for years and years.

As you can see you can get started and try to design your own tattoo today. Take your time during this process as it will mean that you get a tattoo that you are really pleased with. Then once its done you can show it off to friends and family.
