Once you’ve decided you definitely want a tattoo, the next step is to choose a tattoo design. Well start browsing. There are hundreds of categories to choose from.
There are more tattoo designs out there than you can ever imagine possible.

To make this choice easier for you, click on the link “Why a tattoo?", so you have an idea in which direction you want to go. Let your feelings guide you.

Perhaps you know someone with a tattoo you admire. Ask them where they got it and what their experiences were. Best is not to take exactly the same tattoo. You want to keep it original, so make some modifications or go online and look for similar tattoo designs.

You can also consider talking to a tattoo artist about your ideas or ask him to design a custom tattoo exclusively for you. This option is more expensive (perhaps $200-300 and upward for the design, depending on size and level of detail).
If you are creative enough, you can also draw a tattoo yourself and consult the artist if this drawing can be inked.

Another consideration is do you want color or black tattoo design.
This largely depends on the kind of design you like. Black tattoos tend to have more definition and don’t fade as much as colored ones. They have more contrast with your skin than the color tattoos. Color tattoos give more expression to your tattoo design, but are also more expensive.

At last how big do you want your tattoo design to be? This is mainly determined by the location where you want to have it on your body. Also ask yourself do you want more tattoos in that body area in the future. Make sure that there is enough room. Large tattoos will also take more time to complete (and are more expensive) and will be more likely to be seen.
