How to Choose a Tattoo Design

First and foremost, always remember that a tattoo is permanent.

Consider why you want a tattoo or even a specific tattoo design. Does it symbolize some kind of transition in your life?Good or bad?

Learn the meaning behind certain designs. Not all tattoo designs have a meaning

Pick something that has meaning. Whatever you choose needs to be something you can be happy with for the rest of your life, so if it fits your personality, is a memorial to a lost loved one or something to symbolize your children or other loved one, then you're more likely not to regret it 10 years down the road.

Select the location on your body where you want your tattoo. The size and shape of the area can greatly affect the type of design you should choose.

Decide on what size you want it and what colors to use.
