How to Find Inspiration for Your Tattoo

Once you decide to get a tattoo, you’ll still have to decide on the design. Some people know exactly what they want their new tattoo to look like, but others struggle a bit to develop their vision. Use these tips to help you find inspiration:

• Start by deciding where you want it to go:

A lot of people getting their first tattoo try to start by choosing a design. While there’s certainly no problem with that, it may be helpful to decide on the location for the tattoo first if you’re struggling to come up with the design. That way, you have some guidelines on what kinds of tattoo designs might work and which you can rule out.

For example, if you want a wrist tattoo, you probably can’t get a whole elaborate landscape design. There’s simply no way to fit all the necessary detail in that location!

• Think about meaning

A common question for people with tattoos is, “what does it mean?” Your tattoo doesn’t have to have any deeper meaning than simply an image that’s aesthetically pleasing. On the other hand, you may want a tattoo with deep personal meaning like a loved one’s name or birthday.

If you’re getting a tattoo to remember a loved one, for instance, that will probably greatly affect the design.

• Look at different tattoo styles

If you still don’t have any strong ideas about what kind of tattoo you might like, it may help to explore some different tattoo styles. There are lots of different tattoo styles, explored below.

• New School Tattoos- These are bold and colorful tattoos that stand out and call attention to themselves.
• Realism- As the name suggests, realistic tattoos are meant to look as much like the actual person/object depicted as possible. One popular realistic tattoo is a black and white portrait.
• Traditional Tattoos- Traditional, also known as old school, style tattoos use strong colors and bold black lines. Common tattoos in the traditional style are roses and anchors.
• Watercolor- Watercolor tattoos became extremely popular in the last few years. These tattoos are more delicate than many other common tattoo styles but still incredibly striking. It’s like having a watercolor painting on your skin.
