Design Tips

Here's a word of caution when you design your own tattoo: Be very careful about what your final decision is to put on your body! I'm sure by now, you know that a tattoo is a permanent design on your skin.

Most people choose a tattoo design based on something that has meaning to them. As you design your own tattoo, make sure (to the best of your ability) that what has meaning to you now, will still have the same meaning (or at least a somewhat positive meaning) twenty years from now.

Some people design their tattoos based on family or their children. These are pretty safe bets. I would think that you would still have positive feelings about Mom, Dad and Junior, even twenty years from now.

The danger zone comes when you design your own tattoo to include your love life. I know it's hard to believe, but you might feel differently twenty years from now. If you're really determined to include your love life in your tattoo design - I would recommend using a symbol that reminds you of your "special someone" instead of their name.

However, even at that, you might still have an issue. I have a female friend who got a tattoo of a rosebud on her shoulder; mainly because her husband (excuse me, ... "ex"-husband) was nick-named "Rosebud". (I know, it's an uncommon nick-name, to say the least) Well, you can see where this is going, can't you?

After they went through their dramatic divorce, she regretted having the "reminder" of him on her body. Even though it wasn't his name, it reminded her of him every time she saw it.

As you design your own tattoo, take care in remembering that tattoo removal and tattoo cover ups are expensive and a royal pain. So, design your own tattoo around something that you are sure to feel the same way about twenty years from now. If you're at all uncertain, then wait or look around at more tattoo designs until you find "the one".
