Tattoos used to be quite rare, but now more and more people are braving the needle to have a work of art put onto their skin. Yet choosing a tattoo can be really difficult, often there are only small selections at the tattoo parlor for you to look through, or you could go online to find one you like and then pay for the right to use that design. Below we discuss some of the most popular tattoo designs that you might be interested in.

Stars have to be one of the most simple designs you can get, yet they are beautiful too. You can get a few stars to highlight an area of your body, or you can have them woven in with other patterns to form a more complex design. The hip is a popular place to have some stars, or you could have a line down each side of your stomach to highlight that area.

Another popular design is the dragon, both the scary western style and the more decorative eastern style. Dragons are portrayed as wise, powerful and magical creatures, which is probably why they are so popular, not to mention they are beautiful and can be shaped to fit almost any area you want.

Tribal tattoos are simple and yet bold, and they are more popular at the moment with guys than gals. As they are simple then less can go wrong with them, if you have something complex then by the end of it sometimes a face or animal etc can end up drawn badly which ruins it. They tend to symbolize power and strength because they look like the tattoos on warriors from hunter-gatherer tribes.

Flowers are a lot like the star tattoo, you can use one or two to highlight an area, or you can combine them and add in some other features and you quickly have a rich and detailed design. Plus as there are so many unique colors and shapes for flowers then you can find one to suit almost any taste, and they all look beautiful. The cherry blossom tattoo is a symbolic and beautiful flower tattoo that is really popular at the moment.

The final design is the cross, even for people who are not religious then a cross is still a popular tattoo. I don’t know if it is because even people who don’t believe in a god still don’t know what happens to us when we die, or whether it symbolizes some other kind of belief they have, but this is a popular choice a the moment.

If you are choosing where to get a tattoo then I’d say tattoos on your feet probably hurt the most, find out more at TattoosonFeet.net
