Many
people are deciding
that they want to
get a tattoo, although
very few actually
know what it is that
they are looking for.
They all want something
to express their personality.
Tattoo designs range
from very simple icons
to extremely elaborate.
Some of the smaller,
less complex tattoos
include astrological
signs, flowers, hearts,
stars, and small fish.
The more elaborate
tattoos include religious
tattoos, dragons,
angels, wings, and
pin up girls.
Here
are the Four Primary
Elements of Tattoo
Designs
Element
#1
Some
tattoo designs are
small and elegant
and can easily be
drawn up. On the other
hand, some tattoo
designs are extremely
complex. Take the
typical eagle for
example. This could
be an easy 2 dimensional
bird, with bright
vibrant colors, or
it can be a very tedious,
very time consuming
job that may take
even the best artist,
an eternity to sketch.
Then the artist must
add each and every
feather to show detail
and make the eagle
come to life.
Element
#2
Colors
play a very important
part in tattoo designs.
Women have a tendency
to lean more towards
small, bright, cheery
tattoos, like a heart
or a flower while
men prefer to have
a beautiful work of
art. They want everything
to look as real as
possible. This is
where the tattooist
uses more muted tones
of color.
Element #3
Tattoo
designs are also specific
to a person's heritage.
If your upbringing
was up in a religious
home, you may tend
to lean more toward
a cross, angel, or
wings. If you are
Native American, you
may show your heritage
with a beautiful tribal
design, that is, of
course, reminiscent
of your ancestry.
Although the dragon
was considered to
be mainly of Chinese
or Japanese origin,
it is quickly becoming
a known symbol to
those who are not
part of this heritage.
Element #4
Tattoo
designs can also be
patriotic. If you
wish to show your
love of your country,
you may choose to
get a tattoo of your
country's flag. Many
people who have gone
in to the military,
choose a tattoo design
which shows the pride
that they have in
their country.
Tattoo
designs can be as
diverse as the people
who wear them, but
they all have something
in common: tattoos
tell your stories
for you.
