Hey Pals,
This post, I am going to share with you what are the tattoo adornments on our celebrities! It is undeniable that they are the trend setters in any form of fashion and it comes as a no surprise that celebrity tattoos are well sought after by many. However, I do not encourage this "idol following" action. You are what you are making your tattoo unique and special. Why choose to follow others when you could set your own trend?
But, aren't I slapping my own mouth in this case? Well, we would like to give ourselves more exposure to other people designs. By looking at various tattoo designs and themes, we would have a better chance in picking or designing one which we like. Anyway, there is no harm in looking and appreciating other tattoo designs! Who knows you may get an inspiration of creating an exclusive head turning tattoo design which set you way above any celebrities!
Sit back and enjoy the video below!

Tattoo Designs - What You Need To Consider Before Inking? Part 1

Hey folks,
This post talks about the various aspects you may or ought to consider before submitting your body to the hand of your tattoo artists. As I have briefly mentioned in my earlier post that the main contributing factor to tattoo removal is the wrong choice of tattoo designs. Coming to think of that, if these people were to think twice in their selection of tattoo designs, there will be more happier and proud tattoo owners around us.
Today, we shall talk a little bit more on the selection of tattoo designs. The themes for tattoos are boundless and by just mentioning of some very popular tattoo designs like tribal, celtic, cross and japanese design, we have come across thousands of them already. Are you a fan of tribal or cross tattoo designs?
This is really a personal choice. Among the boundless themes of tattoo designs, it is important to choose a tattoo design that you like. You can opt for a customised tattoo design which can be costly as it takes up more time and effort from the tattoo artist. There are also thousands 'off the shelf' designs which you can choose from in tattoo parlours and online galleries. Be it a religious or symbolic design or just a mere pretty and fun design, it must be a design that suits your personality and you will remain proud of for the rest of your life.
Hey, you may be asking this right now? Where in the world am I going to find a design that suits me? Well, you can either visit a tattoo parlour and they have hundreds, if not thousands of tattoo designs for you to choose from. But are you really going for that? My honest view is a "No". Simply, because under that environment and condition, you would not be able to make a sound decision on the types of designs which really suit you. You may be influenced into making a haste decision which I obviously do not want that to happen to you. I have been through this experience couple of times and nearly fell into the pit of own impulsiveness and sales coax.
Second option is through the internet. Yes, if you google on tattoo designs, you will be overwhelmed by the aplenty designs available for free over the net. It is free and you can simply right click on your mouse and save it to your computer, print it out and take it to your tattoo artist. One word of caution though, the quality and uniqueness of the designs may not be of a good standard. It is easy to find tattoo designs over the web but it is tough finding one which is free, unqiue and of high quality.
The third but not the least is to find your tattoo designs which can be downloaded easily from any tattoo galleries. Of course, we are talking about good tattoo galleries of high quality printable tattoo designs. From my experience, we can easily nab at least 15 tattoo galleries online but I would just want to narrow down to few very good ones. If you want the most original tattoo designs you can ever get online, I would suggest you read these reviews on our top 2 tattoo galleries before deciding on one. Doing a quick search on google, you will find that they are indeed popular avenues for many tattoo lovers and enthusiast. They are well known for not only their tattoo designs but for their going over the extra mile in providing commendable services to their members.
That's all folks. Hope you have a pleasant moment in finding a tattoo design that suits you! :)
Are You Game For A Permanent Tattoo?
Hey friend,
Though I do not know you or maybe we may have met somewhere before, I know for once now that you are reading my post. Thanks for that and if you happen to be an avid tattoo art lover or a greenhorn looking for your very first tattoo design, this is a post you won't want to miss!
Although I am someone who are terribly "immersed" into tattoo designs and art, I am not a blind follower of tattoo art designs. I am also against anyone of going for a permanent ink without thinking seriously through. In fact, statistics has shown an increase in the number of avid tattoo enthusiasts over the years around the globe. Sadly to say, the number of tattoo removal also rises in proportion (well, this is just a conservative comparison).
Inscribing a tattoo is a lifetime commitment. It should not be a haste decision made due to a sudden desire or craze over the art adornments. If you are not ready for a permanent ink, you should consider a temporary alternatives. Research has shown that the most contibuting reason lies with the impetuous selection of the tattoo designs. You can blame it on the designs of tattoos, skill of the tattoo artist but eventually, you will be the one paying for the price of your own impulsiveness.
A tattoo if chosen without much effort and consideration may likely to cause regret in time to come. Before submitting yourself to the hand of a tattoo artist, you may want to ask yourself these few questions to check if you are prepared for a permanent tattoo.
Do you see a tattoo as something you will have for life?

If you are pondering over it, then you really have to seriously reconsider your reasons of going for a permanent ink. You do not want to leave a permanent regret on your body when your excitement subsides.
Have you given any thought to the tattoo image or design you want to ink?
Most of the people who want to get a permanent adornment may have a particular design in mind. However, there are just some people who neglect this stage until they step into a tattoo parlour. Are you going to spend $200, sitting for hours in the parlour after choosing a tattoo design for only 10 minutes? You wouldn't want this scenario to happen on you. Getting a tattoo is a lifetime decision, you ought to spend more effort and time in finding a tattoo design that you will be proud of for the rest of your life. Choosing your tattoo design is akin to finding your right partner. Spend some time browsing and selecting through the categories of some top quality tattoo design galleries before making your ultimate decision.
Why you want to get a permanent tattoo?
Is it just for the sake of being cool or following the crowd? If that is the case, you may want to re-evaluate if permanent ink is really meant for you. Most opting for permanent marking may want to get something symbolic or religious that represents their character, culture and background.
What type of tattoo is best seen on your body?
Are you going for evergreen designs like the celtic or tribal? You may be looking for something cool, symbolic and unique design which is uncommonly seen. You may also choose to design your own tattoo image that is exclusively yours. Very commonly, we see boyfriend's or girlfriend's name inscribed on the body parts.
Which part of your body would you like your tattoo to be inked?
Not all tattoos are suitable for all body parts. You may like to consider the placement of your tattoos. Is it your arm, chest, lower back. upper back or belly? There are patterns which are suitable for armband but inappropriate on other body parts. For tattoos which are controversial, you may want to place it on the parts which are not easily revealed.
