Deciding on a tattoo is important. Tattoos are permanent and will make a statement about you for the rest of your life. Some people decide to get tattoos in remembrance of a lost loved one, some wish to commemorate an important event in their lives. Others simply want to make a very personal statement about themselves.

For some people, thinking about the tattoo design that they want to have on their bodies is very easy. But for others, finding the perfect tattoo is like deciding on their firstborn child's name-it is difficult because of so many options.

No matter what theme you choose, the will be lots of designs available. Thinking about your personal style will help you chose the right design.

The best place to start looking is online. There are lots of websites devoted to tattoo art. Skin artists often showcase their designs in galleries on their own sites. Artists may specialize in particular style, like tribal art or oriental designs. Browse as many of these sites as you can before deciding on the image you want to have on your skin. Make sure the design is perfect for you before settling on the tattoo. You don't need to rush, you'll have the tattoo for a long time.

Visit local tattoo artists and ask to see their portfolios. These are photos that show their past work. Looking at a portfolio will tell you not only about the artists designs, but about his skill in recreating those designs. A great design that's poorly done won't make the statement you want. Make sure the shop is licensed and uses proper sterile protocol. An infection will ruin the best tattoo and leave you with a scar. Each artist has a different style and technique and this will influence the way he executes your design. Make sure you feel confident in your artist's skills before proceeding with your tattoo.

Look around you and you will notice many people with tattoos on different parts of their body. You will see tattooed people at the mall, office, school, restaurant, hotel beach, and many other places that you usually take for granted. This is also a great idea to know if a certain tattoo looks good on a particular body part. If you have seen something unique, you can change it a bit and make it more personal.

If you find the perfect design, but it isn't tattoo art, take the picture to your local tattoo artist. He may be able to create a drawing of how the design might look if it were made into a tattoo. There are some restrictions on the way a photo or piece of art can be rendered in a tattoo. Skin isn't the same as canvass, and needles aren't the same as brushes. If you like the way your design looks as a tattoo you can have it put on your skin.

Tattoos are a very personal form of art to the artist and the person receiving the tattoo. Give your yourself the time to get it exactly right, because you won't get a second chance. Planning in advance will insure that you will be happy with your tattoo now and in the years to come.
