Tattoo Font Is Cool
Bear in mind that the font art is primary and crucial. While your tattoo artist may present you with his or her catalogue of designs, taking ideas from other sources, such as font libraries of word processing software is a good option. Whatever font art you will choose, be sure that it should not be something that is difficult to read. Old English and Calligraphy texts might look artistic but the exceptional style of these two font types steals the attention from the name tattoo itself. The clarity of the name must supersede the attractiveness of the font art.

Angel Wing Tattoo Design
The type of wings you get should depend on what you are trying to express. You can have the angel wings spread out as if you are about to take off in flight or they can be folded slightly as if to show protection. You can tattoo small, cute cupid angel wings on your ankle or shoulder. Or you might be more interested in the gothic type angel wings that may signify a fallen angel. This type of design may have some feathers missing or the angles of the wings are a little off.
Almost all people identify angel wings tattoos with some sort of spirituality. It could be your belief in God or just a spiritual belief of being looked after by some higher being. Some people get this type of design to express their belief in the darker side, that of the fallen angels, like Lucifer.
Whatever your expression, you want it done correctly. The first thing you want to do is to find a tattoo that truly expresses your feelings and desires. Don't be rushed into choosing a design because that design will be with you for life. After you have a design, take it to the tattoo artist of your choice. Listen to what they have to say about placement and size. Look over some of their other work, especially other angel wings tattoos. If the two of you seem to be on the same page as to what you want, go ahead and get the tattoo. An angel wings tattoo will truly be a tattoo to cherish.

Master Piece Tattoo Art Tattoo Design
Tribal tattoos are instantly recognizable with their dramatic use of aggressive dark lines in jagged symmetrical shapes spread throughout the skin. Tribal tats are most often done in simple black and skin tones but they can also be infused with color to brighten the overall look. Whereas other tattoo styles attempt to represent a specific object, tribal tattoos seem far more concerned with the 'feel' rather than what it specifically looks like.
The most popular tribal designs are Maori, Haida and Polynesian designs. There is also great interest in Native American tattoo designs. The term "tribal" of course covers an astonishing array of tattoo design possibilities, from the traditional tribal tattoos of indigenous and aboriginal cultures, to the latest in graphic design for the body.
Stars Tattoo Designs. One of the most popular versions start tattoo designs are nautical stars. Nautical stars have a long history in the world of tattoo designs dating all the way back to the early sailors, specifically Sailor Jerry, and his many tattoo designs.
Typically the sailors use the North Star to help them navigate the waters of the open ocean. Over time the North Star became a symbol for good luck in a safe passage back to land.
Over time this led many sailors were very superstitious lot of folk to start getting Star tattoos and more specifically nautical star tattoos to provide them with enough luck complete a safe journey. Originally they were different colors of nautical star tattoos and each color would represent have a different symbolic meaning. For example a red nautical star tattoo might mean that the bearer assailed across the Pacific Ocean successfully three times. Most of this history in early symbolism in terms of color has been lost for what survives today is the deep history and rich symbolic meaning of the nautical star tattoo. Not only is it a symbol of good lock it is also a simple for helping find one's own path in life and it is seen as a guiding symbol.
Butterfly Tattoo Designs The butterfly tattoo is by far the most used artistic subject matter of all insects, especially in the tattoo industry. Butterflies became a fad years ago by being the theme of many pieces of jewelry, t-shirts, scarves, paintings, and tattoos. Artists have a real freedom of creativity when they are creating butterfly tattoos because the designs are not rigid. They can be changed in color, size, shape, and other details without looking distorted.
The butterfly has many different meanings. In our society, its symbol has been commonly known as freedom, change, and growth. A generally feminine tattoo design choice and a perennial favorite.
Fairy Tattoo Designs The Fairy as a tattoo design can be as simple as a take-off on the often overpowering presence of corporate America in pop-culture, think Tinkerbell and Disney creatures, or it goes back to a rich history of story, myth and folklore. Fairies in literature are often the personification of human wishes and desire in the form of little people with magical powers. As a tattoo design they can be symbols of youthful innocence and a desire to retain a child-like imagination, wonder and awe.
The very word fairy, derived from the Latin "fata", or fate underlies the use of fairies in literature and myth to explain the workings of destiny, with it's often unpredictable nature of gifts and disappointments. The use of supernatural beings, who often meddle in human affairs in fairy tales, has created a genre of story-telling that is rich in symbolism and that lays bare the psychological and social challenges as we pass through the stages of childhood to adulthood. The presence of magic makes fairies a favorite of children and as a tattoo design they are a potent symbol of our youth.
Dragon tattoo designs The dragon is definitely hands down one of the most beautiful and powerful of all the mythic beasts. The sheer beauty and power of these mythical beasts alone warrant there attention as tattoo designs. Then being combined with a long and rich history of tattooing as an art form such as in the Japanese culture and you have a winning combination.
Typically dragon tattoo are not seen as the cunning and evil creature that they are represented as in Western culture. Instead in most Asian cultures Dragons do not breathe fire typically and are seen as more benevolent creatures. They are seen as very powerful and are definitely a symbol of strength and power. However, they also represent a perfect balance of yin and yang forces and are therefore believed to represent a reconciliation of balancing of power. They therefore more typically represent a combination of power with wisdom.
Celtic Tattoo Designs: Celtic tattoo designs are primarily a genre of complex interwoven lines representing knots, mazes, spirals and other figures. Celtic animal figures are zoomorphic or stylized renderings of animals that were used for carvings, in jewelry and wood, stonework and manuscript illustrations. Many images used by tattoo artists today are derived from the famous Irish Book of Kells.

And this tattooing had been the work of a departed prophet and seer of his island, who, by those hieroglyphic marks, had written out on his body a complete theory of the heavens and the earth, and a mystical treatise on the art of attaining truth; so that Queequeg in his own proper person was a riddle to unfold; a wondrous work in one volume; but whose mysteries not even himself could read, though his own live heart beat against them; and these mysteries were therefore destined in the end to moulder away with the living parchment whereon they were inscribed, and so be unsolved to the last. ~Herman Melville, Moby-Dick

Quirky is sexy, like scars or chipped teeth. I also like tattoos - they're rebellious. ~Jennifer Aniston
A genuine tattoo.... tells a story. I like stories and tattoos, no matter how well done, and if they don't tell a story that involves you emotionally, then they're just there for decoration, then they're not a valid tattoo. There has to be some emotional appeal or they're not, to my way of thinking, a real tattoo. It tells people what you are and what you believe in, so there's no mistakes. ~Leo, tattooist, 1993, quoted in Margo DeMello, Bodies of Inscription, 2000
Show me a man with a tattoo and I'll show you a man with an interesting past. Jack London - 1883
"As for the primitive, I hark back to it because we are still very primitive. How many thousands of years of culture, think you, have rubbed and polished at our raw edges? One probably; at the best, no more than two. And that takes us back to screaming savagery, when, gross of body and deed, we drank blood from the skulls of our enemies, and hailed as highest paradise the orgies and carnage of Valhalla." - JACK LONDON

In Tahiti, not all Europeans responded with the enthusiasm that had been exhibited by the British Admiralty's Captain James Cook, his Science Officer and Botanist, Sir Joseph Banks - who received a traditional Polynesian tattoo - and dozens of the ordinary sailors and seamen aboard Cook's ships. Missionaries who arrived in Tahiti at the end of the 18th century, turned tattooing from a standard practice into an embarrassing and punishable act of Paganism. King Pomare II was converted to Christianity in 1812 and he immediately put force behind a severe, regulated code that had been laid out by the missionaries. The death certificate for traditional tattoos was essentially signed in 1823 with the passage in the code that stated: "No one shall be tattooed and this practice should be completely abolished. This is an old and bad habit. Men or women who get tattooed will be judged and punished... The punishment for men will be work on ten measures of road for the first tattoo and 20 measures for the second tattoo... The punishment for women will be to make two big coats; one for the king and the other for the governor."

"But to become a freak one needs a strong character and unusual determination."
George Burchett - Memoirs of a Tattooist, 1956
Traditionally, body art has served to attract the opposite sex, boost self-esteem, ward off or invoke spirits, indicate social position or marital status, identify with a particular age or gender group or mark a rite of passage, such as puberty or marriage. It's this sort of strictly prescribed, highly ritualistic decoration that Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher depict in their book, African Ceremonies. "We've tried to show how body art is relevant to every stage of development, from birth to death," says Angela Fisher.
