Some people start off with a very specific idea of what they want as a tattoo. A good tattoo artist can use their clients drawings, pictures & ideas and turn them into a piece of unique body art. Typically, the client meets with the artist to show them what they are looking for before any work is done. After getting all the information, the tattooist goes to work on a preparing the image for transfer to the skin.
Other people haven't got a clue as to what they want, they just want a tat. But, just popping into a tattoo parlor and asking them to just give you a tat will get you something you may regret. A tattoo is supposed to be personal, it's probably going to be on your body for the rest of your life and will have to stand the test of time. The choice of tattoo is an important decision that shouldn't be taken lightly. It's best to take some time and really think about what you want
Most tattoo studios have huge collections of tattoo artwork known as "flash" on their walls and in portfolios. There can be hundreds or thousands of these images, depending on the parlor. Some of this artwork is original, created by the artists that work for the parlor. Mostly, the flash you'll see on the walls has been around for decades and not all that unique. As a budding rock star, this is probably not what you'll want your tat based on.
Personalality and lifestyle usually dictates the style of tattoo a person gets. There are die hard old-school individuals. These guys prefer the pin-up girl, American flag and the heart with "Mother" on it tattoos. These are the kinds of tats that sailors are so well known for. They bring up images of rough men, loose women, booze and smokey bars. These tattoos also seem to fit well with the heavy-metal crowd
Tribal designs are currently some of the most popular styles of tattoos. They've managed to make their way across nearly all segments of the population. These often consist of curved lines, points, dots and other geometrically aligned elements. Tribal designs often hold significant meaning for the individual whether in a religious or social context. Typically, tribal tattoos are done in all black but not always. Where color is incorporated, black is often still the dominate color.
