Body Art

Body art has been an art form for some time now dating way back to the caveman ages. Tattoo designs were used to incorporate meanings, leadership, brands, ownership, status and much more when words weren't available. In fact, to some, tattoos seem like a totally brand new concept to art which seem ideal in today's world in terms of fashion.

Today though, tattoo designs are more used as a fashion statement to define one's persona and uniqueness in the world. They are symbolic and meaningful, yet the hardest part of choosing tattoo designs is just that, CHOOSING THE DESIGN.

In this blog, I will cover unique ways for you to choose, or create your tattoo designs.

A simple concept to remember is that ANYTHING you choose can be a tattoo design. It seems as if a lot of people tend to forget that. Tattoo designs do not necessarily have to be tribal, Asian characters, Religious, Spiritual, Violent, Racial, etc. But they can be ANYTHING that you choose. For instance, a friend of mine that happens to be a great lawyer, recently got a tattoo on his back saying, "beLIEve me", if you didn't catch it, notice how he stressed the "LIE" in believe. It means that he sometimes has to lie because his profession calls for it.

Another example of some unique tattoo designs is a broken heart placed where the heart would usually be on the chest, and when that person found true love again, he/she would have the tattoo artist draw a stitch, a name, or whatever creative idea the person has to show he/she is no longer broken hearted.

Tattoo designs are not rocket science, yet we all spend time sometimes weeks and months to choose that "perfect tattoo" for us, partially because we know that the design will be lasting forever, unless you get it lasered off which will leave an ugly scar. Remember that ANYTHING can be a tattoo and symbolic, it's up to you on how you design it or how you want it drawn for you.
