Tattoo Designs

Tattoo Design Ideas and Suggestions

For women and girls, tattoo ideas may be different than those for men. A lower back tattoo (just above the rounded swell of their buttocks) for instance is a common tattoo for women to think of. Usually, the tattoo design idea is a spread out tattoo (mostly a tribal and sometimes a flower or butterfly) that is inked in the center of the lower back. Another tattoo idea for women is to have one at the base of the nape, but this cool idea is more visible than others which can give complications with work. The tattoo idea at the base of the nape can be a small design (for instance an animal, symbols or writing in a different language) or the lengthier tribal design which spreads from the left to the right. Since it is less visible, some women like a tattoo at their shoulder instead of at the base of the nape. This part of the body can also move which can give the impression of a moving tattoo.


For men, there are many different kinds of tattoo design ideas which are not at all similar in design to tattoos that women prefer.

Men focus more on things that are manly in nature. The choice actually depends on the preference of the male who wants to have a tattoo. It can be anything that inspires the man. There are some tattoos that are more preferred by males than females (for example chains, dragons or snakes, cryptic words or images and much more). If a man is into a sport or likes guns,
the probability that he is likely to have related things tattooed is high. For a person who is into Heavy Metal and Goth the tattoo design is most likely to be in these lines as well. Many men also like to have symbols or words tattooed on their body.

These days these are a popular choice, especially symbols and words that they feel have a great meaning in their lives. Usually they are connected to ones culture and heritage. Some people like to have entire paragraphs inked unto their bodies. Shorter versions of these are words of love for their loved ones or phrases of inspiration. Some men who are more aware of the implications of having a tattoo may prefer smaller tattoos which are not visible or conspicuous when they are at work or with other people. Another popular tattoo design is a cross (with many men and also with some women). This can be small enough to be hidden or as large as one wants. It can be designed in such way that it can look either plain or intricate.

The design for a tattoo depends on the preferences of the person who wants to have the tattoo and what he/she tells the tattoo artist to do. It might be an event in his/her life which has inspired him/her to have a tattoo done which is described to the tattoo artist. The actual design can be a commemoration of the said event.

Before you actually have your tattoo design inked you need to consider the idea before acting on it.

You have to keep in mind the fact that you might have problems with work (for instance there are certain establishments that prefer to have their employees free of any tattoos and other forms of body art). Another thing that can also be limited is travelling to some foreign countries due to restrictions that these countries have regarding people with tattoos. If you have a tattoo design idea and you would like to follow through with it, it may be best to try it out small and in an inconspicuous parts of the body initially.

Interesting Facts About Tattoo Equipment

When you think about getting your first tattoo, it might be a bit of a scary decision to make - and one might be dissuaded by the possibility of being skewered by a load of needles for about an hour! It is a bit scary to walk in to that tattoo parlour and cast your gaze over the tattoo equipment which will be utilised to give you a tattoo.

As well as this the fact that you will not be familiar with the pain involved, it is unsurprising to discover that some people actually make a sharp exit at the last minute.

But for people who are thinking about getting a tattoo, there are one or two points to remember - and not only that you will be in secure hands with an experienced and highly trained professional tattooist. It might be helpful to become familiar with the tattoo equipment utilised in this process. It is perhaps one thing to stroll into a tattoo studio and look over these strange pieces of machinery, but it is another to understand how it will be utilised.

The process will be invasive and for some people, and quite sore - so you are sure to feel more ready if you understand what they were up to and how they are using all that equipment.

While it is certainly true that all tattoo equipment has been developed to reduce pain as much as possible, it seems hard to understand that some may well feel a certain amount of discomfort during the procedure - in particular if it is their very first tattoo. Before getting a tattoo done, you could have a conversation with the tattoo artist regarding the tattoo equipment that they use. You could ask how it is used and what each stage will feel like.

Apart from the well known tattoo gun, which consists of various penetrative needles, there are the actual needles themselves that will also make a noticeable difference to how you will feel while the process is going ahead.

There are 2 basic needles that are utilised for the process of tattooing- known as the liner and the shader. The tattoo gun is an accurate and precise piece of tattoo equipment - providing that artist has had a good amount of experience and is endowed with a steady hand. The liner needle is one needle that marks the outline of the tattoo design. The shader is made up of more than a single needle, and does the job of filling in the area with the required colours. Each of these has been developed to work accurately with minimal pressure.

The Cons of Tattoos


Even though there are many good things about tattoos, there are bad things as well. So before going to a tattoo studio. Make sure you know what you are doing and the pros outweighs the cons. If you are only getting a tattoo strictly for the look, you many end up regretting getting the tattoo later on in life.

1) Risk of infection. As you may know, tattoos work by piercing the skin with a needle and injecting little gobs of ink. If the tattoo artist is not sanitary and does not clean his equipment after every use and the needle is not properly sterilized, you may get infected with a wide range of diseases.

2) Allergic reactions. Tattoo dyes, especially red dye, can cause allergic skin reactions, resulting in an itchy rash at the tattooed area. The worst part is this may occur even years after you get the tattoo.

3) Risk of Keloid formation. If you are prone to developing keloids, you should think twice before getting a tattoo. Although keloids are more of a result of tattoo removal, you are still at risk of keloid formation from the tattoo itself.

4) MRI complications. Though it happens rarely, tattoos may cause swelling or burning in the affected areas during magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exams. In some cases pigments used in tattoos may interfere with the quality of the image.

5) Tattoo removal. Let us face it. Some people when they are young and impulsive do not think about how the tattoo will look when they get older. Or some people may later decide that they do not want the design anymore. Here comes the removal process. The bad thing about tattoo removal is it can leave a pretty bad scar in your skin and you will have to pay the added cost of removing it.
