The Selection process
For men
When it comes to choosing a tattoo, there are generally two types of men.The first type will take extreme caution and put some very deep thought into the selection process, he seeks perfect conceptualisation. His tattoo more than likely holds a very deep meaning and could even have taken months of searching.
The second type of man is not that interested in the selection process; he will choose with more spontinuity. Many of these men may have been longing for a tattoo for some time but never really reflected on why they want one probably, making a choice on looks alone.
Many years ago it was very fashionable for deep sea fishermen to get a tattoo unfortunately for some, they had made this decision while drunk! they often had many regregts later especially, if they had incorporated a girls name for example and later split up.

The Henna Plant
The henna plant has long been highly valued in the East for its many and varied uses.
These days the henna plant is mainly cultivated for its use as a hairdye and a cosmetic for henna body art also, it is highly treasured in the perfume industry.
Here we can move slightly away from tattoo designs and focus a little bit on henna body art. Being a very ancient form of body decoration, this form of art is a good place to start prior to considering the more permanent option of a tattoo.
You can be creative or easliy find many books on the topic. I have seen my own daughters decorating each other simply for fun.
