What are the Most Popular Tattoo Designs?

'Old School' Style Tattoos - Anchors and swallows appear to be making a comeback and not amongst elderly sailors and bikers. A lot of females are asking for tattoos of swallows and anchors on their neck and chest while lots of guys are going for the ol' sailor Jerry tattoos on their forearms. This style is further fueled by the 1950's revival characterised by retro vixens such as the Suicide Girls.

Tribal Tattoos - Tribal tattoo designs have been around for hundreds of years and are becoming increasingly complex and constantly evolving and morphing in to what has become known as neo tribal tattoo styles. Tribal tattoos can be traditional 'black work' on the arms and legs or more colorful styles characterised by the 'Modern Primitive' look covering the entire body.

Lower Back Tattoos - These are a perennial favorite amongst females. The most popular lower back tattoos are still tribal designs but dragons, lotus flowers and eastern symbolism appears to be popular as well.

Dragon Tattoos - Dragon tattoo designs are another style of tattoo that appears to be enjoying a revival. There's so lots of styles of dragons from the traditional chinese dragon tattoo to more mythical dragons.

Tips for Getting Tattoos

Celtic Tattoos - Celtic tattoos are being completed on people with a celtic heritage but also by lots of people with no celtic origin. Some of the celtic symbols are universal in nature and have universal meanings common to all races. This may report why celtic tattoos are being mixed with tribal tattoos generating a style of tattoo known as tribal celtic tattoos.

Pick your tattoo carefully. Don't go for some off the wall 'flash' tattoo. A nice tattoo artist is capable of doing 'custom work'.

Try not mix different tattoo styles such as Japanese and Tribal styles. It doesn't work!

Go to a reputable tattoo artist not some backstreet 'scratcher' who is cheap but you will inevitably regret later. Build a relationship with the tattoo artist if you plan of getting a lot of tattoos.

Take proper care of newer tattoos. In summer lots of people get tattooed and cannot wait to flash their tattoos in public. Be careful that you do not expose your new tattoos to much sun which will fade them. Use lots of sunscreen to keep away from them fading prematurely.
