4 Essential Elements of Tattoo Design

Before starting to think about a tattoo design, it is important to consider the five essential elements of a tattoo, namely: placement, size, color, and style.

Placement

Where you decide to place the tattoo is very important because it will affect all other aspects of the tattoo. Certain parts of your body allow the tattoo design to flow and appear more aesthetically pleasing than others, and it is often the most "desired" body parts that are the most difficult or uncomfortable to inscribe. In general, tattoos that are done on skin closer to the bone are more painful than tattoos done on skin that lies above other body tissues. Additionally, it is important to note that some skin is more likely to stretch or distort throughout your lifetime. Try to place tattoos on areas that will have minimal wear and tear.

Size

There is a multitude of different proportions depending upon the amount of detail that you want and what part of your body the tattoo is being done on. For people looking to get their first tattoo, a smaller size is suggested because of the variable level of commitment that most first-timers have. Having a less significant tattoo means that people who regret their decision can "take it back" and go through the tattoo removal process, which is much easier and less painful with modest designs.

Color

Tattoos can have between one and a hundred different colors within the design. It is up to the individual to decide what they want to create and the tattoo's level of artistic quality. More colors will obviously be more expensive than less colors, but the variability can off more uniqe and detailed designs. There is virtually no limitation to the colors you can create. The standard color used in most tattoos is black though those designs may appear less ornate. If you are considering multiple tattoos using only black creates a uniform color scheme.

Style

Even greater variation of design comes from the style of the tattoo. Different tattoo artists have their own styles but if you design the tattoo yourself it can be more reflective of the personal meaning behind the tattoo. Think about what you want your tattoo to represent and how that may be done using a unique style. Also, remember that even if a design doesn't convey a the same meaning to everyone, it is more important that the tattoo conveys the right meaning to you. After all, it will be a permanent part of you physically, if not spiritually.

 

Consider Your Tattoo

You may be sure you want to permanently put a mark on your body - but are you indeed ready? Any first-timer should know there are a lot of parameters to take into consideration. This article is intended to give you a few pointers before taking the big step, so give it a look before you make the decision.

Firstly, you have to be 100% sure of the design you have chosen because you can't really do much about it after the deed is done, can you? Before you commit to any particular tatto you have to be convinced that you will still like it in a year or two, maybe even a decade. So probably you should think twice before tattooing a Mickey Mouse on your ankle. If you already have a tatoo, or more, the selection process might be easier, but it is still a big decision, so think it through. Whether you choose some lyrics, a portrait, a dragon and so on is totally up to you, but make sure that it is something meaningful and that it has a story behind it. You don't want to get a tattoo just out of boredom or because everybody else has one. It's got to be personal.

Equally as important, if not even more, is the body part you choose to adorn with a tattoo. There are a few factors to take into consideration, such as: your work dress code - because, there are certain companies that do not allow their employees to show off their tattoos; your personality, meaning that if you are more discreet person you will probably want a less visible tattoo and so forth on the same way. The overall aspect of the design you are looking for is also important because certain shapes, sizes and even colors go better with certain body parts.

Another thing to take into consideration is the artist you choose. If you already have other tattoos, you probably already have an artist you prefer. If it's your first time, your safest choice would be to elect an artist whose work you are familiar with, either you know somebody who has had work done by them or you have studied their portfolio. There are hundreds of forums and website that provide reviews for tattoo parlors, so, why not give them a look? You will get a better idea from talking to people that already have tattoos. Whatever your reason is for getting a tattoo, whether you are celebrating your love, your success in life, whether you're commemorating a loved one or simply want one for the esthetic appeal, make sure you are committed to your decision and that you have done your research well. Removing a tattoo is no piece of cake and more than often, it leaves signs; so, you have to be sure that this is indeed what you want, because it's going to be there for a long, long while. If you have made your mind up, don't hesitate and go for it.

How to Pick a Tattoo Design That You Won't Regret

Finding your dream tattoo design is often a daunting and perplexing proposition. Studies reveal that "one in four" people today are not happy with the tattoo design they selected. That is a staggering statistic to me. That is 25% of people that have gotten a tattoo inked on their body have come to regret it. So the question is "how to pick a tattoo design that you won't regret?" Let's examine this question and explore some solutions.

Here is an experience Julie Villani, a self confessed tattoo enthusiast, had one morning:

"My girlfriend and I saw a tattoo parlor across the road after we'd spent the morning shopping. Just as a joke she said we should go over and get a tattoo each. So we went in, had a bit of a look around, checked out some of the designs, looked at each other awkwardly and quickly got out of there.

Some parlors can be quite intimidating (like this one was). I felt really uneasy 'cause I wasn't really sure of the process. Anyway, did I really want my friend's name marked on my body forever? "No," is the simple answer. About a year later we had a major falling out, so I'm very grateful that I didn't end up with her name forever inked on me, or even that we had matching tattoos."

Pick a Tattoo Design You Won't Regret

So you have decided to get a tattoo. There is nothing wrong with getting a tattoo inked "just because it looks good." However, for the most part, it is more desirable to pick a design that is personally meaningful or representative of your life or attitudes in life. Take some time, weeks or months if necessary, to think of what type of tattoo would be so special in meaning as to warrant being inked on your body for the rest of your life. Will the tattoo still have special meaning to you 20, 30, 40 or more years from now?

So, how do you find that special meaning for your dream tattoo? Here are a couple of ideas:

• Have you experienced a tragic/happy event or moment that you'll never forget?
• What are your values and beliefs?
• Is there a special person close to your heart (be careful here)?
• Are there any particular religious aspects in your life?
• What are your goals in life?
• Is there a character trait that can be symbolized by a tattoo design?

After you have a meaningful idea in your mind, now it's time to do the research.

Research

Once you know what you want your tattoo to represent, all you have to do is figure out what it is that is going to symbolize that memory, value, event or whatever it is. Take your time and look around the internet at some tattoo design sites to help you with a tattoo ideas. One mistake that people make is thinking they will find the PERFECT tattoo design. There is usually something off, be it the size, the coloring, or just something missing. This is an easy fix. Start with the design you like and make adjustments to it such as resize it, change a little coloring, add some lettering, or even combine two or more tattoos into one.

Here is where finding a talented and reputable tattoo design artist comes in. A solid artist will be able to make these modifications with relative ease. If after you have looked through thousands of tattoo design pictures and still can't find your dream tattoo design, then you can have an artist draw one up for you based on your description. You can even design it yourself if you are a talented artist. What you are after here is a tattoo that you will be proud to adorn for the rest of your life.

Getting back to tattoo artists. It is as important to find a talented tattoo artist as it is finding your dream design. When looking for a shop and an artist, ask to see some previous work that the artist has done. He/she will probably have a portfolio of some previous works. You can ask for references as well. Also, look around the shop for cleanliness. Make sure the artist's work area and equipment are neat and clean.

You also need to think about body placement. Larger designs obviously need a larger "canvas" to accommodate them. Other than that, it's whatever floats your boat. Just remember to be careful as you might need to cover the tattoo up for a particular function such as a job.

Now that you have learned, or had reiterated, how to pick a tattoo design that you won't regret, I wish you the best of luck in your search for your dream tattoo.

 

The Various Tools Used For Tattoo Art

Tattoo art has existed since centuries. Different types of tools are needed to make this work of art precise and effective.

Stick and poke

Stick and poke is often used for making tattoos at home. Generally experienced artists perform this work of art by using these tools. They make use of a sewing needle's tip and get it wrapped in ink-soaked thread, leaving the point protruding. The instrument is saturated with ink and the skin is pricked time and again for creating the design. The thread's purpose is to keep the needle point coated in ink so that more ink penetrates the skin.

Tattoo stencil

One of the most important instruments which you need to use for creating a perfect tattoo in today's world is a tattoo stencil. If you take a look at a general context, a large number of experienced tattooists tend to prefer the stencil method. It is better to opt for this particular method rather than the freehand design at the first step. When the tattoo is applied on the skin of the person, a considerable part of it needs to be stretched. If you are not using a stencil in this regard, the entire tattoo may exhibit quite a distorted look.

A very methodical process is followed during the use of the stencil. A carbon paper is usually used to copy the design on to the stencil. It is also important to keep in mind that the image always appears on the skin in a reverse format. Apart from the usage of carbon paper, a light label can also be used. After the stencil is made, it is ready to be applied on the customer's skin. Before the application of the stencil, the skin of the customer must be shaved properly. The proper use of antiseptic is also quite essential. Some of the tattoo experts use the roll on deodorant with the stencil. However, proper amount of pressure is needed to be put with the stencil to create the right design.

Needles

Outlining is also an important aspect of tattoo art. This outlining or inking is done through the use of needles. Different types of needles are used by tattoo artists to create the most effective outlines. Whether it is star tattoos, butterfly tattoos, Celtic tattoos, dragon tattoos or any other design, a needle is a must for tattooing. In the present times tattooing is done with electrical tattoo machines that insert ink in the skin through a group of needles, which are soldered into the bar and are attached to the oscillating unit. This unit drives the needles in and out of skin 80-150 times a second. These needles are usually single-use needles, which come packed individually.

 

Where to Sell Your Custom Tattoo Designs?

As a custom tattoo designer, one question that always stays on top your head is finding the right place to market or sell your tattoos. In today's market, the internet offers some of the best opportunities for a tattoo artist to market their work of art. Another option available to the artists is finding a local ink shop or a popular tattoo studio that agrees to display your designs to their clients. However, the second option will somewhat limit your marketing area as it will only cater to the local clients.

There is a third option as well. A designer can create his/her own website. The website should display all your unique designs along with the services that you offer as a tattoo artist. Once the site is live, the next step would be to drive traffic to the site. Like all other businesses, a tattoo design website also needs to be marketed and therefore you need to learn the tactics of popularizing the site. This takes time and planning. When the prospective clients look for tattoo designs or tattoo artists, the site that features first or second on the page will get the maximum visibility. Also, the site should be designed in a way that appeals to the client in the first look.

If the site is very slow, is too complex, information is difficult to find and the visitor does not find it easy to navigate, he/she will move on to the next site.

Initially, one can also register with an existing custom tattoo design website. These sites also offer all that a tattoo artist needs. Their site is already up and running and all one needs to do is set up an account with the site to upload your designs. Some sites run tattoo design contests hosted by the clients. There are some sites that contact tattoo artists and offer them to join their website. Others even offer a 'Tattoo Marketplace' where the tattoo designer can join for free, submit their designs and set the price for each design, and get paid every time one of their designs is sold.

An online tattoo design contest is a very creative way for a tattoo artists to sell their designs. You can create your complete portfolio as a designer and win more customers. Since most customers look for a unique design these days, they prefer to invest time in browsing through various designs, there is a greater chance of your designs being viewed, appreciated and selected online.

The tattoo marketplaces allow you to submit as many tattoo designs as you want, and you are also free to remove any design at any time. You set the price of your designs and the website that you're working with will handle all the formalities with respect to sale and payment processing for you. The site that you are registered with will even keep you posted on the progress through email updates.

 

Why Buy A Tattoo Design Online?

For many of us deciding to get a tattoo is a big deal. This is why making sure we choose the right design is vitally important. Let's face it, the design we finally decide upon is something we are going to have to live with for a long time.

Indeed these places do have some great designs, however the disadvantage is that you will be faced with a limited choice and will struggle to find something that little bit different. Do you really want to get a tattoo and then discover that nearly everyone you meet has the same or a similar design? We believe a tattoo should be a unique statement about your personality and who you are.

This is why the option to buy a tattoo design online has in recent years proved to be an increasingly popular alternative. Not only does it provide the opportunity to browse literally thousands of designs it also means you can do it from the comfort of your own home. Rather than rushing your choice, and regretting it later, you can take your time and make sure you get the design you want without feeling pressured into making a choice there and then. Once you have found the design for you it is simply a case of printing it out and taking it along to your local studio.

So what do you need to look out for in order to get the most out of buying a tattoo design online? Unfortunately sometimes it is not as straightforward as it should be. Firstly you need to find a site that offers you designs that are of a high enough resolution to be able print out. Some sites only provide a thumbnail image or have designs that are of poor quality which means you could spend hours just trying to locate the designs that are worth having.

When you buy a tattoo design online you will find you are usually faced with two options. The first is to find a single design you like and simply purchase it. The other option is to join a tattoo membership site. Membership sites are particularly advantageous to those who wish to have more than one tattoo. They also allow you to be able to create your own unique tattoo by using a combination of different designs. These sites usually have an active membership and will include a member forum, a great way to get opinions on designs from other tattoo enthusiasts, and will be regularly updated with all the latest news and designs.
