Questions To Ask Before Choosing A Tattoo Design

By Russell Strider


Choosing the right tattoo design isn't going to be the same process for every person. A tattoo is a personal decision and determining what you might want to have on your skin for the rest of your life will also be a very individual choice. There is no checklist or test you can take to help you make a decision about the perfect design, but there are a few questions you can answer that can help you.

The most important question is this: Do you really understand it will be on your skin for the rest of your life? A lot of people understand the concept, but fail to see how it works out in practice. If you are a young girl, how is it going to look after you have kids? (Even when that won't come to pass for another 15 years). How is that pretty tattoo in your cleavage likely to look at 60? Not so cute. Also, put a bit of thought into the location so you do not wind up earning a living in a greasy spoon diner for the remainder of your life. It's your decision, just ensure that you have thought it through!

What does your tattoo mean to you personally? When deciding on the perfect tattoo design, you truly should get one that means something special to you. Every tattoo is going to be a testament to your life and exactly where your were when you had it done. Remember that artists can custom design a tattoo. Be sure your tattoo is unique and not simply something you selected off the wall of the shop because it seemed cool and you were drunk on spring break.

Should you get color or all black with a bit of shading? If you are really not certain (or on a bit of a budget) choose black with shading and tell the artist you may want to add in coloring later on. They are able to design your tattoo in a way that can allow you to come back and add in color later on. This way you'll be able to find out how you like it in black and maybe return later on for color.

Not sure which tattoo design to get? Get something that is unique. This goes along with not choosing a design off of the wall. Walking into a party with the identical dress or shirt is not a big deal, but do you truly want to walk around having the same meaningless Asian characters or tribal design (which almost never mean what we think they do) for the rest of your life? In case you are really struggling to select a design, then simply wait a couple of months. Do not just choose a silly tattoo for no reason.
