re you scouring the internet looking for tattoo art? Finding the right designs can be an experience. Anyone who is seriously into tattoos will tell you how long it takes to choose the right one. It can take up to 20-30 hours to find the right tattoo design. If you are serious you will want to have something that is unique and not taken from a book or or copied from a picture in a tattoo gallery. Not only that but a lot of artists will refuse to copy another artists work. While you can be done for copyright infringement for copying another person's work in other mediums the same rules don't seem to apply to tattoo art.
If you are like me you have looked at literally thousands of tattoo pictures and from different artists from around the world. Or maybe you keep visiting your local tattoo studio and have started getting dirty looks from the tattoo artist who thinks you are stalking him because you go there every weekend and still haven't chosen a tattoo!
It is a good idea ot visualize the type of tattoo you want before you even get it. If is a tribal tattoo on your arm imagine yourself walking down the street with the tattoo for all the world to see.
So if it is tribal tattoos source pictures of a particular tattoo style. If it is work from another artist do not take it to your nearest tattoo studio and ask for it to be copied onto you. Tell the tattoo artist that you like that particular style and would like a tattoo designed for YOU. Tattoo artists are very visual people and are highly talented at rendering an nebulous idea into a full on customized tattoo.
Think of the bigger picture. Don't be tempted to choose some generic tattoo flash off the wall because you can't make up your mind. Tattoos are organic and are constantly changing and growing with you. Avoid painful mistakes!
