Beauty of Flower and Butterfly Tattoo Designs

Flowers are perhaps the among the strongest object used to symbolized women and tattoos are not any different. For centuries, women have been coming up with more creative and illustrious flower tattoo ideas to add to those that are already in existence. One of the main reasons for this is flower tats will never be out of style in any day and age. What this means is, these tattoos and ideas will be around and tattooed by women all over the globe in years to come yet.

When it comes to flowers, there are really no limitations as to what can be tattooed. No matter what, flower tats will almost always look great on a woman especially when tattooed by an experienced tattoo artist/tattoo parlor using quality tattooing techniques. What this means is there are really no right or wrong when it comes to flower tat ideas. It is more a question of whether these designs suit the woman in question. We do have some flower tattoo ideas to help out women out there wanting to get one (or even in multiples).

First of all, the most obvious would be to choose between a black inked flower tat or a colored flower tat. While flower tats can still look good in black, flowers do bring out the life in these flowers especially when the flower tattoo ideas and designs are in 3D.

Next, flower tattoo ideas can also revolve around the type of flower itself. Although the most common and popular flower used in tattoos are roses, there are also many other flowers that have been tattooed and actually with great results to boot. They can include (but not limited) to orchids, sunflowers, morning glories, lilies and sunflowers.

Life in Colour - Tattoo Inks for Long Lasting Effect

Talk to any "ink head" - that is, tattoo aficionado - and you'll find the same subject topping the conversation. How long tattoo inks last for, and what can be done to make sure they last as long as possible. Check out any new tattoo, compare it to one that is two or three years old, and you'll instantly see what is meant here. Tattoo ink fades, and the worse the quality of the ink the quicker that happens.

Look at a new tat on the body of a man or woman who has had previous work done in the past. The new tattoo is bright and bold next to the less obtrusive colours of the older images. The grail quest of the tattooist's art is to find those elusive tattoo inks that really work - the ones that hold their richness, depth and colour through years of sun, wind, rain and of course personal hygiene routines.

There are ways to ensure that tattoo ink and the tattoos it makes doesn't, or don't, fade with time: avoiding direct exposure to sunlight until a tattoo is well and truly "worn in", for example; or not using abrasive soaps or household cleaners. The best way, though, by far the best way, is to check that the inks being used in the first place are of the best possible quality - and the easiest way to do that is by sourcing tattoo inks from quality suppliers.

Fortunately, the shrinking world (brought close together by the invisible strands and byways of cyberspace) has made sourcing good quality anything pretty easy - and tattooist's inks are no exception. UK based sites like Tattoo Kit have excellent trade links with the world's best brand names and most prominent suppliers of ink. UK tattooists and ink heads can now get their hands on the real deal, imported from Japan and the US - ensuring that every kind of tattoo, from the old style Oriental look tats to modern South America flavoured images (skulls and flowers are big right now, done large and in vivid colours) is done with the proper tattoo inks.

In every case, a tattoo has a variety of ink it would be done best in. Older style inks are gentler, less boldly coloured but full of a soft depth. This kind of ink is best for the traditional tattoo designs first popularised by soldiers and sailors returning from World War postings in Asia and the Orient. Modern tattoo designs, which tend to have their roots more in mainstream underground music forms like rockabilly, and the Latin influenced rock music found on the West coast of the US, use brighter inks - larger areas of solid colour filled with blazing oranges and deep blues. The tattoo inks required for this kind of image are completely different - the kind of thing first used by the Californian chopper guru most famous for his 1980s skate and hot rod designs.

Source the right inks and one's tattoo will stay bright and clear forever. Just make sure the equipment matches the quality of the ink.

Sexy Back Tattoos

When you choose the design and location of your newest tattoo, consider your back. Sexy back tattoos for women are plentiful and ideas are everywhere around you. If you are tattooing an image, consider color, shape, and size. If you want script on your tattoo, make decisions about style, size, and content. No matter what you choose, the best tattoo is something that represents you. It is something you will be proud of your entire life and tells a story to everyone who sees it. Think carefully about what you want your tattoo to say about you.

Writing Tattoos - Some Tips and Suggestions

Writing Tattoos are very popular and you have to agree that they do look very cool and interesting, however there is nothing worse than deciding on those words of inspiration and having them tattooed on your body in Chinese or Arabic writing etc only to be told later that the tattoo does not say what you think it does.

My very first suggestion therefore is to make sure you get a proper template prior to visiting the tattoo artist, if you have some saying or phrase he has never heard of and you want it as a wrist tattoo as a Chinese tattoo or an Arabic tattoo odds are the tattoo artist does not speak either of these languages nor does he know how to write them.

The trick of picking the same words from several designs just does not work and instead of something cool and personal and truly motivational you could end up with a pile of utter rubbish that makes no sense.

So do your home work and be prepared. Star tattoos are very popular and there is no danger here in a mistake here, as there are literally dozens of different designs. Again you should get the template and make sure you get the one you really like, after all its going to be there for a time.

Chinese tattoos are the most common but the language is anything but, with over 65,000 characters it is crucial that you get the correct translation. There are several different scripts used in Chinese Tattoos and a professional can ensure you utilise the correct one and provide an accurate template.

Arabic Tattoos are proving just as popular with a style of writing Calligraphy which can provide your inspiration saying in what looks like a landscaped picture. Arabic Tattoos can be designed to look like an abstract drawing and still translate accurately they can be like a work of art from Picasso. However it is a complex and difficult skill so again it is imperative that you get the correct translation and template to take along to the tattoo artist.

If done right it will look right and you will avoid the embarrassment of having utter nonsense written on your body so my main tip and suggestion has to be plan what you want, be very sure of the saying and then get a professional interpretation and template.
