Finding a the Perfect Tattoo For Guys - Where to Look?



If you are in the in the middle of looking for a tattoo for guys, you have no doubt looked over your fair share of images on the web. At times it frustrates you, as there is a huge amount of crummy, low end artwork on the net. Everybody wants the truly polished designs available, but most men will end up settling for ones that are far less that stellar. If you hate picking at the same uninteresting material, you need to figure out how to grab a hold of the good art.
You can surely imagine in your head how you would want your tattoo for guys to look. Many men get the perfect ideas in stuck in their brain, but the sad fact is that way too many men (and women) are selecting tattoos that they are not fully in love with. Some mean and women are rushing into their decision making at a furious pace. Some folks simply settle on a random image because they are exhausted from picking through so much crummy art. You don't even have to be in a frustrated state of mind about the enormous amount of "less than" designs and tattoos on the net. You just need to motivate yourself to choose exactly what you want when looking for a tattoo for guys, without having to settle for some random piece of art.
Just for a brief second, let's go ahead and chat about the insane amount of generic images that you will uncover through a search-engine. You are most likely attempting to get a tattoo for guys through one of the popular ones, or at the very least, you are trying to locate the websites that have them. This is exactly where it all goes down the drain. I know that it seems like a search-engine is the only central place to locate discover these places, but they are not. 95+% of the terrible, generic artwork that is found is discovered by using a search-engine. This is the only kind of website that tends to load in the search results section. Don't ask why this happens so often, though, because it's still not known.
These sites are so unreliable and are filled with a slew of low end artwork that it is hard to swallow sometimes. Almost nine out of ten of the tattoo for guys you find here will be way over five years old, plus the images are already plopped on a hundred other sites. This does not even count the main issue: The fact that most of the designs were not even drawn to be used as real tattoos. Any tattoo for guys from that low end website has a very good chance of not looking half as perfect once tattooed on your skin as it looked on the piece of paper you printed the image on.
When looking for a traditional or even a new school tattoo for guys, you need to get away from the usual tools if you are to uncover the hidden world of fantastic artwork. It is this next inventive searching method that always tends to work thirty times better than a search-engine at bringing you to the superb galleries out in cyber space. I am talking about nothing other than internet forums. It's the perfect resolution to being able to locate that quality tattoo for guys that you want. They are interestingly reliable at providing you with the unique insider tips and links to the state of the art websites on the internet that have powerful artwork you are after.

Cool Tattoo Design



Everybody wants to have a cool tattoo design. There have been so many boons to the craft in recent years, that the practice of tattooing has prospective artists turning from traditional paintings on canvas, to making average people their own personal Picasso. If there is one thing any person who is showing off a new tattoo wants to hear, it is, "Wow - that is a cool tattoo design!" I am pretty sure that a tattooist enjoys hearing that about his or her work as well!
The problem with attempting to find the coolest tattoo design, is that so many people want so many different designs. I actually went through the trouble of calling several tattoo shops in the city closest to me. The three most popular tattoo designs lately, tend to be flowers for women, and skulls for men. When it came to tattoos that both men and women are getting, celestial stars and tribal designs won over the others. Now, as I say this next bit, I truly mean no serious offense to the ladies who have gotten lower back tattoos, but, as I searched through the yellow pages and asked several tattooists my questions
I did have an enlightening moment. After asking where most women are getting tattoos, the artist told me with a snicker, "On their lower backs." Have you ever been able to "hear" a smile on someone's face, when talking to that someone on the phone? Upon prodding him about what was so humorous, he answered, "Well, we call them something else?" Curious, I asked, "What is that?" His answer was, "We call them Tramp Stamps when we do lower back tattoos!" As I said before, I have nothing against women with such tattoos, but I really felt the need to share that tidbit! As for the men, upper arm (shoulder) and back tattoos (usually over the shoulder blade area) still seem to be the preference. (Sorry ladies, they don't have cool names for those body parts on guys!)
By far, one of the neatest tattoos I had ever seen was the size of a fly. No really, it WAS a fly! Some guy got the idea to tattoo a fly on his arm - just between the elbow and the wrist area. I happened to notice it as I was talking to him one day, because he was leaning on his arms - palms flat on the table, and his tattoo facing me. I looked down at his arm, and noticed a fly resting on it. I - being a nice person - tried to brush the offending insect away. to my surprised, it stayed. He looked down, and began to laugh. "It's a tattoo honey," he grinned, winking at me. The artwork was astounding! There was such minute detail in the entire tattoo, even for as small as it was. Well, a fly is not really my style, but if I had to choose between that, or a Tramp Stamp... hold on, let me get my husband's opinion!
