Your tattoo needs to be unique.
Your tattoo has to express a part of your personality. It should tell a story - your story. When you talk about your tattoo, you should not say, 'I saw it on so and so and it looked good so I thought I would get it.' You should have a personal story to tell, whether it's your first tattoo or your 50th.

How do you get unique tattoo designs
First of all stop looking for free tattoo flash designs. Don't sell yourself and your body cheap. If you're going to pay good money for a tattoo, pay money for a good tattoo design. The money that you would pay for tattoo flash is a small amount compared to how long you will keep the tattoo and how proud you will be to have a unique tattoo design.

To get a truly unique tattoo design, you want to design your own tattoo. For the most part, free tattoo flash isn't even good enough to use to design your own tattoo. You should take parts from different tattoos you like, use your imagination and come up with a design that speaks to you and that you can speak about.

Don't regret your tattoo choice because you were too cheap to spend money on a tattoo design. Get a membership to a tattoo gallery and spend lots of time looking through high quality tattoos. It will really change your perspective on what your tattoo will look like.

Octopus Tattoo Designs And Ideas

Octopus Tattoo DesignsOctopus Tattoo Designs

Deciding what tattoo design to choose is a very important decision, considering that you will have to live with that decision for years to come. To help you choose a design, you should first consider its symbolic value. One rare, but amazing tattoo design, is the octopus tattoo.

When people think of octopuses, they attach the idea to values like grace, intelligence, wisdom, and adaptability. But to other people, it might not have any significance at all.

Squids on the other hand are believed to be mysterious. They are like chameleons in that they have the ability to change color and disappear when faced with danger. The squid avoids being preyed upon by blending in with the color of its surroundings. Since they do not have spines, they are called invertebrates. Invertebrates are known to be agile and flexible. This sums up the reason why many ocean lovers are amazed by the squid's mysterious beauty.

Octopuses can disengage their limbs when under attack. Even more amazing, an octopus will regrow a lost limb - they magically grow back in time. This attribute signifies renewed hope for all of us. It is like getting rid of what is bad in our lives. And like the octopus, wouldn't it be nice if we could regenerate what was lost and as we 'grow back' maybe we could also evolve into better individuals.

When applying an octopus design, the most distinguished stokes are the tentacles. Sometimes it gives out a negative message to people since it symbolizes pride, grabbing, or trapping. This invertebrate is also monstrous for most people. Even though it gives out a negative connotation, we should realize that we are only human and sometimes we are in ourselves, monsters.

Cherub Tattoos

Cherub Tattoo DesignsCherubs are usually depicted as chubby-faced children with wings. In Christianity, they are angels of the eight highest orders in the hierarchy of angels. They are thought to be the messenger of God, defining the link between heaven and humanity. For those who have cherub tattoo designs, the image is a representation of their spirituality and affinity for their beliefs. For others, the cherub is a symbol of someone they love dearly, perhaps a child especially since cherubs are mostly depicted as children.

Cupids are also cherubs and they are the ones which are popularly connected with love and romance while some are thought to provide guidance and protection. The very fact that they are angels gives the wearer a sense of being watched over by their very own spiritual being. However, not all of the cherubs are regarded as sweet creatures. In fact, Ezekiel, a biblical prophet have once portrayed that the character has four faces namely a lion, an ox, an eagle and a man.

Cherub tattoo designs can be scaled according to a person's preferences. Hence, it is quite possible to place the pattern onto any body part including the wrist, ankle, lower back or shoulders. Because of their classic allure, the pattern is popular not only with females but also with males. They can be depicted through shades of black grey and white although the colorful design is also in demand. Usually, the males are the ones attracted to the solid black design while the females opt for colorful patterns. Popular places where the pattern is placed include the wrists, ankle, lower back or shoulder. Since they can be scaled to almost any size, the problem of where to place the tattoo seldom arises.

Customization of the pattern is also not a problem. Tattoo enthusiasts may add other symbols to go with the basic cherub pattern. A flower, a rainbow or an arrow - the important thing is that it holds special meaning to the person wearing it. For some, they may choose to place names or even dates next to the original design. Like other tattoos, a cherub pattern allows the wearer a chance to portray his or her own personality through the art. Even better, many tattoo artists are now capable of creating the illusion of movement in tattoos. With the right combination of colors and shades, you could depict a cherub tattoo as being in flight or at rest.

Ambigram Tattoos

Ambigram Tattoo designIf you are looking to get a tattoo that is different from most people then you should consider getting an ambigram tattoo.

What is an ambigram tattoo you ask?

Well, an ambigram, also sometimes known as an inversion, is a graphical figure that spells out one or more words not only in its form as presented, but also in another direction or orientation. The text spelled out in the other direction or orientation is often the same, but can also be a different text.

These make great tattoo designs, because they're personal, very individual and different.

Nearly any text can be made into an ambigram tattoo design idea. A lot depends on the skill of the artist and of course the text desired. A good artist can help you in your desire for an ambigram tattoo. Of course when getting any tattoo, you want to pick out an artist that you trust. Seeing first hand some of their work and inspecting the facilities are an absolute must. Your health is far too important to justify putting yourself at risk. Once you find a good artist the rest is easy. He or she will be able to take your design and make it to your specifications. You will then be ready for the world!

You want a new tattoo. Tribal ambigram tattoos are becoming very popular. Naturally, you'll go online to research the different variations and pick out one to take to your tattoo artist. But wait! Tattoos are highly personal, and while many tattoos are similar, you probably don't want one exactly like hundreds or thousands of other people's tattoos.

Christian Tattoo Galleries

Christian TattooIn Christian tattoo galleries you can find many different symbols that are uniquely Christian. With the right tattoo artist, almost any image can be turned into a tattoo design. Therefore, almost any symbol that you see today that describes Christianity, you will see in Christian tattoo galleries.

Of course the cross is the most popular. You will find crosses of all types and sizes. Crosses can be adorned with crowns and thorns or the body of Jesus. You can mix crosses with hearts, flowers and animals to get a unique design. In Christian tattoo galleries you will find many ways to represent in loving memory tattoos.

Angels are a big part of Christian tattoo designs. Archangels like Michael or Gabriel can be inked as large back tattoos. Tiny cherubs can make nice small ankle or shoulder tattoos. A guardian angel can be put on one shoulder with the wings wrapping around as if in protection.

You will find the best Christian tattoos not in Christian tattoo galleries, but in regular online tattoo galleries. This is because the best online tattoo galleries have thousands of high quality designs that you can browse. A good online tattoo gallery will show you pictures of tattoos that have already been inked so you can see what it will look like on skin. You will also get lots of ideas from looking at many different designs.

Don't think that because it looks good on paper or on someone else that it will look good on you. You have to take into account your body type. You also need to be aware of how much of the tattoo you want to show. Do you have to worry about covering it up at work? A tattoo is a big decision and shouldn't be taken lightly.

You know being a Christian, I can not help but notice the number of Christian Tattoos I am noticing on some of the folks at my church. I can not say that I dislike them, on the contrary I find them very striking. Different crosses, words in Latin, bibles, and many other images. I spoke to a young man about why he would want to place Christian Tattoos on his body, and he told me "He wanted to let everyone know that he has devoted his life to God"!

They shared a strong relationship with these amiable fun loving mammals. There are also several fables reciting the tales of how dolphins helped ships lost in the storm or saved lives of drowning sailors shipwrecked in the ocean.

Today, dolphin tattoos are popular with women as dolphins signify carefree, fun loving creatures. Dolphins definitely look cute and their face forms a natural smile.

Virgo Tattoo Designs

virgo tattooVirgo tattoo designs are far and few between out there, so you're probably struggling a little to find an appropriate design that you're happy with. If you were born between 24th August & 22nd September, then western Astrology makes you a Virgoan.

The symbol associated with your astrological sign is the virgin. Now, you may or may not want that symbol as your tattoo. If you don't what other choices are open to you?

Well, you could have the glyph for Virgo (the short-hand symbol, that astrologer's use). This is quite unusual, it looks like an 'm' but the last leg has another' leg' crossed over it. Any tattoo online gallery will have a picture of it.

Of course, you could just have the word 'virgo'. Many online gallery sites have this sort of thing on their databases, in lots of different handwriting styles. But there are other symbols also associated with Virgo that you might also be interested in.

Mercury is your ruling planet & once again, the glyph for this planet is very decorative.

Animals associated with Virgo are cats & dogs. Color associations are green and dark brown. The flower of Virgo is the buttercup. So you could incorporate, some or all of these with the glyph or 'Virgo' name.

These are just a few options, but being a Virgo, looking for Virgo tattoo designs, I'm sure that you won't be able to just take my word for it, you'll have to do the research for yourself.

All I advise is that you choose an online tattoo gallery site that offers the widest choice possible, so that you're not disappointed or palmed off with a design that everyone's having. Like, I said at the beginning Virgo tattoo designs are far and few between, so be kind to yourself and choose the best.

Gemini Tattoos

Gemini TattooThe Gemini tattoo is among the most sought after of the astrological tattoos. For people born between May 22nd and June 23rd, there are very many tattoo designs which are formed around the Gemini theme.

In astrology, Gemini is the third sign of the zodiac. The accompanying tattoo revolves around the symbolism of twins, and the concept of duality, with Apollo and Artemis the deity images usually invoked.

Gemini tattoos represent the idea of twins in a variety of ways, through for instance, the use of Roman numerals, the depiction of twin cats, and blazing skulls.

Also common is the depiction of wolves from ancient Remus and Romulus mythologies. Roman numerals such as II often form the base for simpler designs. Important also to note is that Castor, the head of the right twin, and Pollux, the head of the left, are the two most important stars of the Gemini and hence get real prominence in Gemini tattoo symbolism.

For many people, the favoured location for the Gemini constellation tattoo is the arm or leg, with black ink the favoured coloring. Other favourites include the lower-back and stomach. Courtney Fox of Friends spots a white Gemini tattoo on her stomach.

Gemini tattoo designs vary greatly. Some designs are simple and small while others are large and elaborate. The basic theme can always be mixed with your personal images or lettering.

Before you head off to the tattoo parlour for a tattoo, you should first decide:

1) The size you want the tattoo to be.

2) What part of the body you want the tattoo placed.
