Tattoo Pictures & Tattoo Designs For YOU

Anyone who is seriously into tattoos will tell you how long it takes to choose the right one. After all they should last a lifetime so are not something to be rushed. It can take up to 20-30 hours to find the right tattoo design. But that is only the first step.

If you are serious you will want to have something that is unique and not taken from a book or or copied from a picture in a tattoo gallery. A tattoo should speak about who you are and not be ripped off someone else. Not only that but a lot of artists will refuse to copy another artists work. And quite rightly. While you can be done for copyright infringement for copying another person's work in other mediums the same rules don't seem to apply to tattoo art.

It is still a form of plagiarism to take another persons artwork and reproduce it as your own. In any other form this would result in legal action. So just because there is no precendent set for copyright infringement does not mean its is cool to claim another tattooists work.

So how do you come up with original tattoo designs?

If you are like me you have looked at literally thousands of tattoo pictures and tattoo designs from a variety of different tattooists from around the world. Or maybe you keep visiting your local tattoo studio and have started getting dirty looks from the tattoo artist who thinks you are stalking him because you go there every weekend and still haven't chosen a tattoo!

There are so many different styles of so you need to be really clear about what you want before you get inked. It is a good idea ot visualize the type of tattoo you want before you even get it. You need to be able to see yourself with a particular tattoo before you get it. If is a tribal tattoo on your arm imagine yourself walking down the street with the tattoo for all the world to see.

Next view some examples of different styles that you like. So if it is tribal tattoos source pictures of that particular tattoo style. If it is work from another artist do not take it to your nearest tattoo studio and ask for it to be copied onto you. Tell the tattoo artist that you like that particular style and would like a tattoo designed for YOU. This is where the visualisation exercise comes into play. Tattoo artists are very visual people and are highly talented at rendering an nebulous idea into a full on customized tattoo.

After writing so many tattoo posts I thought there can be no new way to get inked but seems tattoo artists have lots more new ideas. Now look at the picture above.

Do you think the lizard on the back of this girl is real one? If yes, then you re wrong. It s a cool 3D tattoo (tattoo in three dimensions).
No doubt, body modification has gone too far and I wonder what tattoo artists will come up with next!

In recent years, the laser has become the gold standard for tattoo removal. However, there are other methods with varying degrees of safety and effectiveness.

Surgical excision, electro-cautery, dermabrasion, and ablation with a carbon-dioxide laser (different from the non-ablative Q-switched laser used in today’s tattoo removal) were methods used more often in years past. Total removal could often be achieved with these methods. The price, however, was usually a significant scar and / or significant pigmentary changes. These methods may still be used today on some patients for whom laser tattoo removal is not recommended; for example, those with allergies to tattoo ink are not candidates for laser tattoo removal.


Another method sometimes used is chemical removal, which involves the introduction of a saline or other solution via a tattooing needle. However, the medical community does not generally place a lot of faith in the safety and effectiveness of this method when compared with that of laser tattoo removal. In fact, some cases have shown that the ink does not resolve at all with this method, resulting in a mere "blurring" of the tattoo.

IPL (intense pulsed light) is also sometimes touted as a newer method for tattoo removal. However, although IPL has been shown to be effective for skin rejuvenation, there is considerable controversy surrounding its use for tattoo removal. According to many leading authorities on laser tattoo removal, this method is of highly dubious effectiveness and can even be dangerous when used for this purpose. Scarring and pigmentation problems are some of the concerns with this approach.
