Question: I Want To Design My Own Tattoo?

Answer: If you are reading this article then you must be the type of person that prefers individualism  over mass conformity and there is no better way to express your individuality than by the desire to  design my own tattoo and become a person of marked individuality.    

When I start to design my own tattoo I try and locate some of the Best Tattoo Sites for ideas and information that will enable me to structure a design that links all my personalised elements. It is very fulfilling to know that after having created a unique piece of artwork you'll get a real sense of ownership and originality through your own imagination and self expression.   

There are undoubtedly many of you that do not consider yourself to have one artistic bone in your body but that should not prevent you from having the ideas to create Unique Tattoo Designs, even though you may feel that you lack the talent to bring your ideas to life. It is worth remembering that every great tattoo comes first from a great tattoo drawing so don't worry if you can't draw just find someone talented to bring your ideas to life.  

How do I design my own tattoo? 

Listed below are five of the best advice and designing tips to help create your own original tattoo designs.   

1) Take your time. There is no point rushing round like a headless chicken, all you will end up with is an ill-conceived, poorly constructed, Tattoo Mistake that ends up as a permanent reminder of your eagerness to get inked or looks like someone had played a bad joke on you. When I design my own tattoo I generally find it quite often takes only a couple of days to conceive but can end up taking months to perfect.....You've been warned! 

2) Which body part is getting inked? It is much easier to decide on an area first and then work out the size and design of the tattoo, for some that could mean covering the whole back with a tribal tattoo design while others may prefer a small butterfly design. If you do it the other way round then you can find yourself trying to enlarge or reduce the size of the design which in turn can ruin the effect of the original artwork. 

3) How to research. What type of design will best symbolise this particular time in your life? It doesn’t matter if it's to do with love, friendship, bereavement, anger, anarchy, fashion or anything else, there are always existing artwork's that will lend themselves to your situation and by combining parts from different designs it is easy to create your own unique design. I used as my starting point a number of ideas from the site www.printmytattoo.com, and then worked from there, 

4) Completed artwork. When you feel satisfied with your artwork instead of rushing down to the nearest parlor to get inked you should take some time to get comfortable with the design. When I Design My Own Tattoo I place it somewhere that will be noticed  every day, on a wall, the fridge, in the car, anywhere where it's in your face, if you get bored with it after a few days then you'll know it's time to go back to the drawing board. 

5) Getting your design inked. Once you have gone through all the stages and you've perfected your design the next thing is to make sure you get a good tattoo artist to replicate your design. It's useful to have a couple of printed copies and one showing just the outline. You might want to shop around a couple of places, observing the tattoo artist's at work before choosing one you're happy with, but be aware that the artist may need to 'tidy up' your design because designs produced on paper or on a computer may not be suitable to be inked.
