Tattoos used to be quite rare, but now as celebrities have shown off theirs and as youngsters want to ‘rebel’ and get one done, then they are a lot more common. Yet choosing a tattoo can be really difficult, often there are only small selections at the tattoo parlor for you to look through, or you could go online to find one you like and then pay for the right to use that design. Below we discuss some of the most popular tattoo designs that you might be interested in.
Stars are simple and easy designs that can either be used to gently highlight and decorate an area of your body, or they can be combined with other things to make a beautiful and complex design. A popular place to have them done is on your hip or the lower part of the stomach, or you could have them around your belly button etc.
Another popular design is the dragon, both the scary western style and the more decorative eastern style. The dragon is portrayed as a beautiful, strong, intelligent and powerful beast, which is probably why it is so popular as a tattoo design, plus they come in vivid colors too.
Tribal designs are popular with guys more so than with women, but as they are so simple then you don’t have to worry about it not looking as good as the original design when they finish, as you tend to do with designs that are more complex and more likely to go wrong. They are also evocative of the tattoos on warriors from hunter-gatherer tribes so they make us think of power and strength.
Flowers are a lot like the star tattoo, you can use one or two to highlight an area, or you can combine them and add in some other features and you quickly have a rich and detailed design. Plus as there are so many unique colors and shapes for flowers then you can find one to suit almost any taste, and they all look beautiful. Probably the most popular flower design at the moment is the beautiful cherry blossom tattoo.
The final design is the cross, which remains popular even though fewer and fewer people are religious. I don’t know if it is because even people who don’t believe in a god still don’t know what happens to us when we die, or whether it symbolizes some other kind of belief they have, but this is a popular choice a the moment.
If you are choosing where to get a tattoo then I’d say feet tattoos probably hurt the most, find out more about them at TattoosonFeet.net
