Fresh Tattoo Art - Locating Galleries With Good, New Tattoos
Sunday, September 27, 2009
When you start looking for things on the internet, what do you use? 95% of men and women will say "search engines". Yes, it's true that they are the one tool that everybody uses to find hat they want. It's just that these are the very tools which are leading all of us to so many low end galleries that don't have fresh tattoo art. All you get now is this gigantic, random list of low end websites and they are all stuffed full of generic, cookie cutter designs. To top it off, a majority of their inventory is over eleven years old!
That's as far away from fresh tattoo art as you can get. The sad part is that many people think this is all there is to choose from and end up settling on one of those generic designs. Instead of searching on to find the fresh tattoo art, they simply settle on something they don't even 100% like. I don't know about you, but I don't think any sane person should "settle" on tattoos. Your skin is too precious and it is a design that will be inked somewhere on your body for a very long time.
Now that we have that out of the way, let's concentrate on a subject that is a bit more upbeat. You want to find fresh tattoo art, so what can you use to get to the galleries that have it? Well, the easiest and best way to accomplish this would be to dive into the larger internet forums. I know, it doesn't sound like much of a plan, but it is. You see ,the large forums of the web are absolutely perfect for getting a good peek at where folks all over the world are uncovering fresh tattoo art.
You can find so many quality tattoos and galleries this way, because you will find that people pots link after link to the wonder places they have somehow found. Fresh tattoo art is out there for the taking and forums have your path right to many of them. It's a small detour and it's a detour that can lead you to the right place.
When you are looking for fresh tattoo art, please don't make a rushed decision and settle on something that you are not 100% sure about.

It all boils down to search engines, which we all use (95% of us) to find tattoo artwork online and you are probably using to find cool tattoos for girls.

Tattoo Design Ideas - What's the Big Deal About a Tattoo Design Anyway?
When I got my first tattoo in the early 90s, I was 21 years old. I wasn't thinking too clearly and looked at the most five minutes into the future. So when it came time to get my tattoo, I didn't know what to get. I scrambling through the books to see what the tattoo design I liked. However, I didn't like anything. Also, I was putting pressure on myself, because I felt like everyone was waiting for me, my friends, the other customers and most importantly the tattoo artist.
However, when it came down to it I made the luckiest decision in my life. Fortunately, I was wearing my baseball cap, and I decided to get the logo of my favorite baseball team tattooed onto my shoulder. Even though this wasn't the best situation for me to be in, I still have a tattoo today and still enjoy showing it off very much. However, I realized how important is to prepare the next time I get a tattoo. That's exactly what I did. Here are some tips to help you find the right tattoo design to avoid being the same situation I was.
Don't be impulsive when it comes to getting a tattoo. You may wind up regretting it. Take your time looking for a tattoo artist and looking for a tattoo design. After you find an artist you should be looking through thousands of designs, because there are many to choose from such as tribal tattoos, sports team logos, or even animals such as butterflies and dolphins.
A tattoo design is a very personal choice and you should get a design that is very meaningful for you. After all, the tattoo will be there for the rest of your life. So you need to make a decision that will make you the happiest. Furthermore when you narrow it down to a few designs, you may want to test them out by asking of your friends opinions. They should be able to provide good feedback.
Finally, I like to add that researching a design for your tattoo should be fun and should not be looked at as a daunting task or something that you "have to do." If you do feel that way, you may not have thought it through. You may want to rethink if you wanted tattoo or not. Otherwise, have a great time researching tattoo design ideas and getting the tattoo you always wanted.

Flower Tattoo Designs - Timeless Symbols of Expression
Friday, September 18, 2009
Roses for instance have long symbolized love and passion. Each color with it's own unique language. A dozen red roses speaks volumes to the one you love. Even the different varieties of lilies have their own meaning. The Tiger Lily speaks "I dare you to love me." Their timeless language and eternal beauty have made flowers one of the more popular tattoo designs.
Their popularity is due to a variety of reasons:
- They can be used as a stand-alone tattoo.
- They can be woven together and incorporated into other designs like butterflies or angels.
- They come in a large variety of designs, shapes, & sizes, allowing you to be discreet or make a bold statement.
- They distinctly enhance the beauty of a woman's body.
- They can be designed in a Celtic or Tribal form giving them a more masculine appeal.
Given the reasons above and the exotic meanings of flowers there's no reason why you couldn't find a tattoo design that clearly illustrates the message you want to convey. No need to worry about a cookie-cutter design either. The common rose has thousands of shapes, sizes, and styles to choose from giving you an endless choice in expressing your individuality. The possibilities become even more endless when you combine a flower design with other popular tattoos like a fairy, butterfly, or angel.
Flower tattoo designs capture what you cannot say with words and are infused with symbolism and meaning. Popular styles include roses, hibiscus (especially Hawaiian), orchids, lotus, lilies, ivy, and more. Take time to consider the meaning behind the tattoo design you choose. Don't just go for the most popular or what your friends are getting. Think about the meaning the flower represents and choose a design that embodies your distinctive character traits and the unspoken message you have to say.
Beautiful Feminine Belly Tattoos
Wednesday, September 16, 2009
Getting your belly tattooed does not necessarily mean the naval; there are feminine tattoo designs which seem to go from the side of the breast and come on to the side of the belly. Tattoos such as this are very intricate because they are usually made to look like stems from a rose bush or exotic plant.
Finding a design for beautiful feminine belly tattoos can be difficult as they are not in the top list of favorites for women. If you have read any of my other articles you will know that I have a few tattoos and am actually planning on having a couple more before I call it a day, well! A belly tattoo is very high on my list for my next one but I am thinking of having it done in really bright blues, reds and greens so that it stand out when I'm at the beach.
The naval tattoo can be a little awkward to look after, I don't mean hygienically, I mean that to look after a tattoo like this, you would have to keep yourself in pretty good shape otherwise it's going to get bigger and sag.
If you have the body for belly tattoos then go for it, but only after you have weighed up the pro's and con's of having it there. If you are a young woman you have to also take into consideration, what happens to your belly when you're pregnant? That small tattoo that you have around your naval may suddenly start to look like an ever nearing planet as you grow.
Belly tattoos should be given the same consideration as lower back tattoos, with a loose fitting or cropped top, people would be intrigued by them.
This is the important part: if you are considering getting a tattoo around your naval, you need to consider the aftercare, when it's hot weather or your body is hot you may get a build up of sweat in your naval (I know it's gross but it happens) and keeping this clean and germ free could be a problem. Ask the tattooist for any special instructions for naval tattoos before you have one.
If you've made up your mind and you are ready to look at some of the most beautiful feminine designs which you will be proud to call your own, then keep reading.

Frog Tattoos Are Fun, Cute and Quirky
Tuesday, September 8, 2009
Frog tattoos are highly symbolic but also really cute and funny. They are normally displayed as armbands, on the lower back, ankles, shoulders, upper back, chest etc. Frog tattoos are discovered all over the world. Tree frog tattoos are ideal for a young person's first type of body art.
Frogs have an extremely sensitive skin on it's body which is thought to be magical. Frog woman was considered as the guardian of fresh water, and it was thought to protect humans from flood or thirst by making and manipulating a dam to control the waters for the maximum benefit. Frogs are often a symbol of harmony, regeneration and life. Frogs have always been associated with magic as in the Princess kissing a frog and turning him into a Prince.
The Frog symbol is a popular tattoo design that cuts across many cultures. The frog is usually seen as a teacher, as a guide to understanding supernatural powers and also as a mentor. You will find that in many cultures, the frog is associated with the ability to jump from one state of consciousness to another. Frog tattoos are one of the most magical and oldest form which stands for metamorphosis, regeneration and which gives new instructions in one's life.
Many of the native Americans consider the frog to be the 'Great Rain Maker'. With the last snowfall of spring the snowflakes touching the ground would turn into frogs announcing that the salmon would soon arrive. The frog tattoo is associated with water and the moon which is a symbol of fertility, prosperity and wealth for the coastal tribes in North America. The characteristics naturally possessed by the frogs have made humankind revere these delightful little creatures. Many Native American tribes believe that the frog brings rain and a good number of modern Christians wear a frog symbol due to the acronym Forever Rely On God.
In fact, frogs have a great amount of symbolism behind them. In ancient Egypt for instance, the frog was thought to be a protector and a guide to the afterlife. The Iban assume that having a frog tattoo on the throat will protect the warrior from having his head cut off in battle. And they also believe that their ancestors live in the body of the frogs to be close to their loved ones.
For these and many other reasons, frog tattoos are gaining rapidly in popularity. Frogs that are depicted as tribal tattoos or as Celtic tattoos are very popular. Frog tattoos may not be as widely sought out as some other tattoo designs, but this may very well be a good thing as you are certain to make a unique statement with this piece. Frog tattoos are as varied and different as the many species of frogs that they visually represent.
Frog tattoos also can represent the brilliance and color of the natural world. They may be made with a plain outline, or you can let your imagination run wild with bright, bold colors and more intricate designs. Frogs can be combined with flowers, vines, water lilies and more. Poisonous frogs may add something of an edge to these tattoos, and may be used as a symbol of the personality of its wearer - beautiful yet untouchable!
Some people may prefer a more cartoon like depiction for their frog tattoos. These pieces often show the frog in a crouching position with a cute, dopey, or sometimes even a sarcastic look on it's face. Many cartoon frog tattoos show the creature with its tongue poised for flicking at flies, or sitting peacefully in a pond on a water lily. Tribal and Aztec frog tattoos are also an interesting twist on this design.
