Do You Really Want That Tattoo?

There are several questions you must ask yourself before getting inked.

What is your motivation for getting a tattoo in the first place? If you can’t give a complete answer beyond “it’s cool” or “because I want one” within a few seconds, it probably is a good idea idea to slam on the brakes. Sit down and think about why you are really wanting to do this, then do nothing for three months. If at the end of three months you still feel strongly about it, go ahead and get a tattoo. But if you are still unable to come up with anything beyond a cursory argument, or worse if you’ve forgotten about wanting a tattoo in the meantime, you’ve dodged a bullet.

Ask yourself if you are prepared to face any backlash from getting a tattoo. Do you know for certain how your friends and family would react to a tattoo? Do you know for certain how your employer would react to you getting a tattoo, or if such a tattoo would negatively affect your career? While you might see a tattoo as progressive or a deeply personal symbol, there is still a stigma attached to them and those who have them, especially in business settings. You might be required to wear a high-collared or long-sleeved shirt to cover up. If that’s the case, is it still worth it to spend the time and money to get a tattoo that very few people will see?

Ask yourself where you see yourself in 20 or 50 years. While a tattoo might be a great idea for you now, what happens in the future when you have kids or grandkids? Will a quote or other pop culture reference still make sense and be relevant in the future? What about skin sagging or weight gain causing a tattoo to become deformed? Will you need to explain why grandpa has a tattoo of a naked lady on his forearm or why grandma has something that somewhat resembles Tinkerbell on her back?

A poll conducted by Harris Interactive in January 2012 reported that of the tens of millions of Americans who have a tattoo, more than 1 in 8 (14%) regret ever having work done.  The most common reasons, among those with regret, were that they were too young or they just no longer like the tattoo.  And while you may love the idea of getting a tattoo, there are still many people who don’t have a favorable opinion.  Nearly half of respondents, 45%, say people with tattoos are less attractive than those without, 27% believe those with tattoos are less intelligent, and 25% think that tattoos make a person less healthy and less spiritual.

Choosing the Right Artist

You took your time and are absolutely positive that you want a tattoo. Great. The next step is to contain your enthusiasm for just a little bit longer until you find the right tattoo artist. With something as important and permanent as ink, you certainly do not want to commit to the first parlor you come across. There are a few ways to evaluate the quality of an artist’s work.

First and foremost, the most obvious way to guage an artist’s talent is too look at their past work. While looking at flashes and sketches is a good start, you won’t truly know how good a person is until you see examples of final work. They might be great with a pencil and paper, but working with needles on skin is a completely different skillset. Make sure to see examples of final finished pieces.

If you have a vague idea in mind for the artwork you want done, have the artist sketch some things out for you and make sure you are both on the same page. If you find a great design online, print it out and bring it to them, then watch as they reproduce it themselves on paper before ever considering them to commit it to your skin.

Don’t be afraid to ask for references. Past clients are great resources and can tell you things that only they know – like the artist’s demeanor during the process, how rough or gentle they were, how many sessions were involved and how long they took, as well as if there were any delays in scheduling to have the work done.

And finally, shop around on price, but don’t go necessarily go to the cheapest place you find. A low price may indicate a great deal, but it might also be indicative of lower quality. Likewise, the highest priced place may not necessarily be the most talented. Price comparisons should give you an idea of what price ranges are reasonable for the amount of work you want done, but ultimately you should go with whoever makes you the most comfortable and who gives you
the greatest confidence in their ability.

Go Get Inked!

So now that you’ve made sure you are ready to get a tattoo, know where you want it to be placed, know what style of design you want it to have, talked to several tattoo artists, and have made a final decision… go get inked, and welcome to the club!

Location, Location, Location

More and more, as tattoo designs become more bold and visibility of a particular piece becomes more acceptable, virtually any location on your body can make a great canvas.

Back Tattoos

The back offers the largest and flattest area for tattoos, so save your most detailed designs for your back and sides. This location can give your tattoo artist enough freedom in order to provide you with the best design possible. A back piece can be a dramatic statement about who you are and what you believe in, so take some time to really think about what you want to say with this kind of tattoo. Since it generally takes several hours to complete a highly-detailed back tattoo, you’ll need to be confident that you’re getting exactly what you want. A beautiful back tattoo can show off your personality in a way that smaller tattoos might not be able to.

Back pieces are generally easy to hide if you’re wearing a full shirt, so you don’t have to be afraid to get one even if you have an extremely professional job. Be careful about edging onto the back of your neck if you have a career that frowns upon tattoos, but the rest of the tattoo should be easy to cover with professional clothing. When you go out for the night or spend a weekend at the beach, you can feel happy knowing that your back tattoo demonstrates a part of who you are. Feel free to show it off as often as you can!

Chest Tattoos

You can keep special tattoos close to you heart by placing them on your chest. Many women are choosing to tattoo their designs on their chest for a more dramatic appearance, as well as a chance to make the tattoo even more special for them. These tattoos can include all kinds of things that are important to you. Some women might choose to include the names of her children or other family members in an attempt to keep them all close to her heart. Attractive, meaningful designs are also popular, and the shape of a woman’s chest is usually conducive to all kinds of interesting tattoo elements from dipping into your cleavage for a theatrical and sexy effect to elegantly draping the design across your collarbones for a more low-key way of expressing yourself.

Be aware that these tattoos are sometimes hard to hide, especially if you are prone to wearing low-cut shirts. Although these tattoos are great for a lot of people, you will never be happy with yours if you feel that it is holding you back from something. Think about how a large chest tattoo might affect you in the future and decide whether it is worth it before committing to such a look.

Shoulder Tattoos

Tattoo tastes have changed over the years, and it’s become common for women to put their favorite designs in this spot. It’s a visible place that can also be hidden with just a little bit of work. Beyond that, it’s a very traditional spot for tattoos that have a special meaning that you don’t mind if other people view. It’s not as in-your-face as other locations, but it is still as visible as you want it to be.

Your shoulder tattoo can be as big or as small as you like. Some women decide to get full-blown, colorful designs that spread across their entire shoulders while others only tattoo a small design that contains a lot of personal meaning.

Sleeve tattoos

Many people only think about men’s sleeves when they think about large-scale tattoo designs, but women’s sleeves are also gaining popularity. It’s an expressive way of showing exactly what you believe in and who you are as a person, and this public display can make your more confident and outgoing. Expect that people will ask you questions and possibly comment on certain aspects of this type of tattoo, so it’s usually the best choice for someone who doesn’t mind a little bit of attention.

A sleeve takes an immense amount of dedication, so be warned that your sleeve will come out looking the best if you go through with the entire design that you and your tattoo artist have designed. Make sure that you’ve seen the tattoo artist’s other work and that you actually trust him or her to design and ink

your sleeve for you. Getting a good tattoo artist to do large pieces like a sleeve can cost a lot of money, but it will be worth it in the end. You can usually count on the fact that “you get what you pay for.”

Lower Back Tattoos

Ah, yes, the cliche and dreaded “tramp stamp.” This style may not have the most revered reputation, but that certainly doesn’t mean you should immediately rule it out as a potential spot to put your tattoo. Your lower back can be a beautiful, sexy area to display a part of your personality and style. It’s also an area that is relatively easy to hide during everyday activities, but it can be a nice little surprise for significant others or during a night on the town while wearing a half-cut shirt.

If you’re worried about you tattoo looking like a run-of-the-mill design, talk with your tattoo artist before you decide on putting ink anywhere. He or she can tell you about common designs and how you can deviate from that to truly get a badass, unique tattoo. You can even incorporate a lower back tattoo into an even larger tattoo that covers you entire back later on.

Foot Tattoos

Women enjoy tattoos in one particular spot that men generally don’t think to get tattooed: their feet. A foot tattoo can be easy to hide in certain shoes, yet it can be a unique and elegant spot for design. You’ll be able to show off the design when you wear sandals or go barefoot at the beach. It truly depends on your style, but a foot tattoo can be a versatile area for a special tattoo.

Foot tattoos are considered particularly badass because of the amount of pain sometimes involved. We’re not going to lie about it; tattooing a foot can hurt a lot sometimes because of the lack of fat and the proximity of small bones to your skin. This just means that you’ll have to be extra certain that you are making the right choice for your tattoo. Check out what other women have had inked on their feet and decide what kind of designs you like best.

Foot tattoos can be done in pairs or on just one foot. You can even go with a friend and get matching designs in a semi-hidden place. Foot tattoos are simultaneously fun and chic. Depending on how they are handled, they could be a good choice for any woman looking for a new tattoo.

Tattoo Designs For Women

Women no longer need to worry so much about hiding their tattoos, or limiting themselves to dainty little sketches that are hidden away most of the time. As years have past, designs have become bigger and brighter, regardless of subject matter. Women are just as able as men to enjoy traditional pieces like tribal designs or fantasy scenes, but there are still quite a few areas that are uniquely feminine.

Tribal Tattoos

A tribal tattoo can give you a sense that you are part of nature and can connect you to the world in a way that many people don’t understand. A tribal tattoo can look simple and chic as well, which can make it a long-lasting choice that you won’t be embarrassed of later. The designs can be placed truly anywhere on your body, so you have a great deal of control over how it will look in the end. Designs like this are perfect for women who know that they want a tattoo but don’t necessarily want to go with an actual image. A tribal tattoo looks powerful without much work at all. They are generally done in black ink, so this also means that your tattoo won’t fade as easily as others might.

Remember that no tribal tattoo should come in a “cut and paste” format, so choose a design that works with your body and your style. You can pick large, thick lines or a more intricate design. Whatever you decide, let it mean something special for you. These tattoos can connect you in a positive way to the rest of the world and to your ancestors, so keep that thought in mind as you get inked.

Butterfly Tattoos

The butterfly represents freedom and new beginnings, so many women choose to get this kind of tattoo after a hard year in her life or a bad breakup. That doesn’t mean that you have to have gone through difficult situations in order to get a butterfly tattoo. It can also symbolize a laid-back, loving spirit who flies easily with the winds of change. Let this kind of tattoo guide you through life as a helpful reminder of the type of person that you want to be.

Just because butterflies are pretty doesn’t mean that they can’t also be awesome. Anything that allows you to express who you are and what you’ve been through usually makes for a good tattoo with a strong meaning attached. These butterfly tattoos can be incredibly detailed and even look photorealistic at times. Other women might opt to go with a more stylized butterfly that is a small, simple reminder of their past. Be sure to come to the tattoo artist with a clear idea of what you want or don’t want. That way, there is a better chance that you’ll get exactly the type of butterfly tattoo that you have been dreaming of.

Flower Tattoos

Flower tattoos are one of the most popular designs for women, but that doesn’t mean that they all look the same. Flower tattoos can be placed literally anywhere on your body, so you have a great deal of freedom when deciding how to handle this kind of design. By changing the style of the flower and the placement of it, you can ensure a unique flower tattoo that you can be proud of. You can also make sure that these tattoos are as big or small as you’d like, so you can control the amount of pain of receiving the tattoo as well as the difficultly of covering it up for a job or certain occasions.

By looking at other women’s tattoos, you can get a better idea of what you like or don’t like when it comes to this type of tattoo. Some are cute and playful while others are more elegant and subdued. In the end, you should choose the type of design that represents your personal style and character. After all, you will be keeping this tattoo for years to come. A flower can be a simple tattoo that is a safe bet for the rest of your life.

Making A Final Decision

Remember that your happiness is all that matters when it comes to picking out a tattoo that represents you and your interests. Gather ideas from any place you can find – friends, families, flashes at tattoo shops, online galleries, etc – but keep in mind that it is always your decision in the end. Use the tattoos that you see as a guideline for deciding what you like and don’t like. Keep these assessments in mind while you come up with a design of your very own.

Body Area

Once you are sure you want to go forward, the next step is to determine the area where your tattoo will be applied. You have many options here, as virtually any part of your body makes a suitable canvas.

Arm tattoos are by far the most popular choice. Here you have several choices – full arm (also known as a sleeve, named for the resemblence to a full-length shirt sleeve), upper half sleeve from shoulder to elbow, lower half sleeve from elbow to wrist, or quarter sleeve from shoulder to mid-upper arm. Larger arm designs usually combine a few thematic elements, while the smaller designs commonly only focus on one thing.

The shoulder area is common location as well, covering the area from the joint to the back shoulder blade.

Back tattoos are for the most bold, since this is where the biggest tattoo can be inked. Any or all of the back is accessible, from the base of your neck to your hips, and around to your side areas under your arms.

The chest is becoming more and more popular as well as people have become more adventurous. Typically a chest tattoo is fairly large and spread across full length from arm to arm, or is smaller and limited to the pectoral area over the heart.

Other body areas like the stomach, legs, neck, and hands are the least common areas to have work done. It is important to realize that a tattoo on any of these parts may be difficult to cover up if necessary.

Choosing A Design

Once a body area and approximate size has been determined, the next step is to find a design. There are several aspects to this, with the most important being subject matter, style, and amount of color. While the final design is up to you, there are several popular and common design styles to consider.

Tribal designs are the among most popular tattoo designs for men. Typically uncolored, these pieces feature thick angular black lines in dramatic patterns representing strength and masculinity. The first tattoos of this type were from Polynesian, Maori, and Aztec tribes and commonly worn by their warriors, although today the style can be worn by anyone.

Crosses and other religious symbols are traditional subjects, as they serve as enduring symbols of hope, faith, love, or emembrance. They are often thought to provide a calming spiritual assurance and a link to divine protection.

Designs celebrating heritage, such a Celtic knots or other Celtic artwork, are symbols representing our ancestry making sure that we never forget our roots. Aesthetically, they are often richly colored and highly detailed.

Skull designs represent the dark side of tattoo culture. They usually signify death and danger and anger and toughness, and evoke stereotypical images of bad dudes in biker gangs.

Tattoos of pin-up girls, those scantily-clad or naked ladies in alluring poses, are often used to represent an appreciation to confident and brash women. These tattoos were first popular among soldiers away at war, reminding them of who was waiting for them back home.

Asian designs, such as Kanji symbols or dragons or koi fish, celebrate the culture and mysticism of the Far East. These designs symbolise guardianship, empowerment, wisdom, and freedom.

Words, such as names, sayings, and quotes are all highly personal designs that have special meaning to the person who will wear the art. They are often meant to bring inspiration, celebrate a life event such as a marriage or the birth of a child, or to honor the memory of a passed love one.

Getting Inked

So now that you’ve made sure you are ready to get a tattoo, know where you want it to be placed, and know what style of design you want it to have, it’s time to go to your chosen tattoo parlor and talk to the artist who will be responsible for adding a permanent and personal piece of art to your body.

Remember that no tribal tattoo should come in a “cut and paste” format, so choose a design that works with your body and your style. You can pick large, thick lines or a more intricate design. Whatever you decide, let it mean something special for you. These tattoos can connect you in a positive way to the rest of the world and to your ancestors, so keep that thought in mind as you get inked.

Many tattoo artists are very familiar with tribal designs and can work with your body to ensure that the lines flow in all the right directions. Even though a tattoo artist might see this kind of design often, he or she should treat each one as unique. Your body will define how a tribal design should be used and placed, so make sure that this isn’t just a “one size fits all” type of deal.

Tribal designs are usually done in just black ink, so they are a popular choice for people who are looking to get a simple design that won’t fade as easily as lighter colors. A large tribal design can also be used to cover up a tattoo that you don’t like anymore, so keep that in mind. Any tattoo that can work double duty is badass in our book!
