Unique Tattoos

Coming up with your own Unique Tattoos can be a challenging and rewarding experience that you can have for a lifetime.   I decided to write this short article to help those of you that are thinking about getting Unique Tattoos help to ensure that the end result can be nothing but rewarding!  The last thing that you want is something to be put on your body that was not exactly what you wanted.  Think of a time that you bought something at a store and it was not exactly to your taste and you said to yourself that you would live with it, not only to find out over time that ate at you because you later regretted your decision.   Should have, could have, and would have done this, that, or the other is not the feeling that you want after you get a tattoo.  

One of the first places that I look to getting ideas is the Internet. Why, because I can do this in the convenience of my own home, and on my own schedule.  I do not have to be in front of a pushy sales person/artist, etc.   You should look at one category per sitting, for example: Tribal, Animals, Nature, Gothic, Symbols, Religious, etc.  This will help you in staying focused and not be overwhelmed.   Take from these sittings a small set of samples that match your vision.  Do this over some time and make sure you narrow down to the category and specific designs that match your vision.  Also be conscious towards the style and color scheme as well.  In addition, you want to keep in mind the size and placement of the tattoo on your body.

After you have some samples, go to at least 3-5 tattoo shops in your immediate area and have a look at the style of tattoos that the Artists have to display.  By doing this you will narrow down to one Artist that has a style that closely matches your vision.  This exercise alone will reduce the risks of not getting what you want immensely.

The next step and this may cost a little extra, but is well worth it in the long run, as you want to get the exact tattoo that you desire.NO Exceptions.   Have the Artist draw up the design that matches what you are looking for.  What I ask them to do is come up with a few different drawings, 3 to 5, or renditions so that I can make a choice. This is like when a Company goes to brand their company name they usually look at samples of logos, then they choose the best logo to match there vision.   You want the Artist to use full color and draw the design on paper to the actual 1 to 1 size of the tattoo.  You now have choices, and if all the drawing samples are not to your liking then have them draw up another set or find another Artist.  You can place the samples on your body to know in advance if it is the right size/color and what the positioning will be like.   Thirdly, when it comes to the big day when you go to get the tattoo done, both the Artist and you will know exactly what the final outcome will be. There should be no surprises! 

I hope that this article serves you very well and helps you avoid the costs of making a serious mistake.   One of the places that I have found as a starting point for coming up with Unique Tattoos and gathering up ideas can be found by clicking on this link.
