Custom Tattoo Designs

You're seriously considering getting your own tattoo, however your preliminary searches online have presented you with a whole range of designs and options regarding what sort of tattoo to get. Should you opt for a free design or go all out with a custom design? Right now we'll focus on custom tattoo designs, explore what they are and what the benefits of going custom are.

What are Custom Tattoo Designs?
The name is very self-explanatory. Basically a custom tattoo design is a design which a designer creates just for you. In the truest sense, a custom tattoo design is created by a professional tattoo artist, skilled in the craft of creating tattoos. Many enthusiasts and professionals will argue that it is best to enlist a professional to create a custom design for you, because it is the best way of ensuring your design is of the highest quality. By enlisting a professional tattoo artist, you will also be able to request them to create the stencil of that design for you, so it can be applied directly to your skin. Every tattoo design requires a stencil, and this is always a much easier process if the tattoo artist also creates the design.

Why a Custom Tattoo Design?
A tattoo is a lifelong commitment, unless you have the courage and high pain tolerance threshold required for the laser surgery necessary for removing a permanent tattoo. Due to the fact that a tattoo is permanent, you need to make sure you absolutely love the tattoo that is about to be superimposed onto your skin. Chances are, you may already have a design in mind that you would like, however on the other hand, you may have already spent hours browsing designs and may wish to blend a number of designs into one. If this is the case, a custom tattoo design will be the best way to go.

By choosing to have a custom tattoo designed, you are working with a professional tattoo artist from day one. The artist will be able to create the design just for you, and also create the stencil for that specific design. The stencil will then be used by the tattoo artist when it comes time to superimpose the design onto your skin. Even if you were to design the tattoo yourself or enlist a non-professional to draw your design, your tattoo artist would still need to create the stencil. By engaging the tattoo artist from design through to inking, you are doing everything to ensure your tattoo is of the highest quality. That's really important considering the permanence of the tattoo itself. Ideally you want to be able to display your tattoo proudly, without any embarrassment and custom design is the best way to achieve this.

Choosing your Custom Tattoo Design
If you already have the design you want firmly in your mind, it's simply a matter of meeting with a professional tattoo artist to create something tangible. If you don't as yet know what sort of design you want, the best thing to do is browse as many tattoo designs as possible. The internet is a great place to start and there are articles on this website that will direct you to quite a number of good tattoo design websites. As you will find, there are many tattoo design websites that will charge people a membership fee, if they wish to access and download design ideas. By all means join such websites if you haven't been able to find inspiration from other designs you may have seen. These membership sites typically have a huge range of tattoo designs to choose from, and clearly, the more designs you see, the more of an idea you will eventually have when it comes to the tattoo you want. There are also a large number of tattoo enthusiast communities online, where people will post photographs of their tattoos and this may also provide you with inspiration that will help you to choose the design for you.

Finding the Inspiration for your Custom Tattoo Design
By conducting simple searches for terms such as, "tattoo designs" and "tattoo design galleries" using your favorite search engines, you will find a great array of tattoo design galleries for you to check out. It will take you time to find the designs that most appeal to you, because there are just so many options out there.

Free Tattoo Designs vs. Custom Tattoo Designs

Make no mistake. The decision to get a tattoo is a big one, because it's a life long commitment! Your tattoo will last as long as you do - unless of course you are brave enough and can stand the pain of the laser surgery required for tattoo removal. Bearing all of this in mind, you need to carefully consider each of the options that you are presented with when you decide you want a tattoo. Chances are you've started exploring tattoos online and you may already be familiar with two design categories when it comes to tattoos: free tattoo designs and custom tattoo designs. We'll take a look at what these options involve right now so you can make the decision that's right for you.

Free Tattoo Designs and Custom Tattoo Designs Defined
Two categories and two fairly self-explanatory definitions of each, as you can see:

* Free Tattoo Designs:
These refer to tattoo designs that are available for you to use free of charge. There are many websites that provide the user with a range of free designs to choose from. It is simply a matter of printing out the design you like and taking it to your tattoo artist.

* Custom Tattoo Designs:
These refer to designs created especially for you by a professional tattoo artist. The artist will work with you to create a design using a number of design ideas you may have - even your own drawings. The artist will professionally design the tattoo for you.

The Case for Free Tattoo Designs
Chances are when it comes to shopping, you're on the look out for a great deal right? Of course you are! If you see an item in one store for less than that exact same item in another store, you're going to buy from the store with the lowest price! This mentality may also apply to some people who are considering getting a tattoo. Many people will ask, "Well, why should I pay a professional tattoo artist to design my tattoo, when I might find exactly what I want when I search free tattoo galleries online?" Sure, that's a valid question, however have you seen just how many free tattoo galleries there are online? There are so many of them! Check the majority of them out - and that will take you days - and you'll soon see that there isn't a whole lot out there when it comes to the range of decent free tattoo designs. Many of the free tattoo design galleries are tiny and only offer a small range of designs. Most of the available designs are of poor quality, and the great majority of these free tattoo websites are filled with designs that aren't even created by professional tattoo artists. You may happen to find a design in a free tattoo design gallery that you like, however the reality is that although the design will be free - you simply download it and print it using your home computer - the stenciling and actually inking will not be. You will need to pay a tattoo artist to do this for you, and if the initial design wasn't professionally crafted, your tattoo, which you will more than likely wear for life, won't look as good as a professionally designed tattoo.

The Case for Custom Tattoo Design
You've heard the saying, "You get what you pay for" and it applies to tattoo design as well. As you have read and may already have discovered for yourself, there's not a whole lot of quality in the world of free tattoo design. By pursuing the custom tattoo design option, you are enlisting a professional tattoo artist from day one, which ensures your tattoo will look the best. It is advisable that you spend time searching tattoo designs prior to seeing your tattoo artist, so you make the right tattoo design decision. Once you know what you would like in your tattoo design, it's time to see the tattoo artist. The tattoo artist will draw a design specifically for you, taking into consideration your design requirements and tastes. Following this, a stencil will be created based upon that professionally created design. Then the design will be superimposed onto your skin using the stencil, and it will look like a professional tattoo - one that you will be happy to show off!

The Decision is all Yours!
Of course ultimately it is up to you whether you wish to choose a free tattoo design or a custom tattoo design. To ensure you make the right decision, you must firmly decide what you want when it comes to your tattoo design and remember that it will be on your skin for life. It has to look good so make sure you give the design of your future tattoo careful consideration.
