5 tips for creating custom tattoo designs

A tattoo is meant to be personal. Many people choose to get them in order to mark a specific point in their lives, or illustrate a certain belief. If you are going to get a tattoo, then you will want to make sure that it is unique to your own style. There are a lot of generic tattoo designs that can still look quite good, but if you want to get something that stands out you will need to put a bit of thought into it. This is going to mean having a look at different designs and see which ones strike a chord with you.


Tattoo Blogs
The first place you can look in order to come up with a good design is the many tattoo blogs that are out now. Some tattoo artists will chronicle their work with pictures on their blogs, and even feature certain tattoos from time to time. You will be able to see their designs and find out just how intricate they can make them. This will help to give you a hand in coming up with their own design. Tattoo blogs are a great place to look for pictures and to get inspiration.

Apps
Nowadays, it is possible to download certain apps from the Internet and onto your phone. These apps can also give you a few good ideas when it comes to design. You will be able to mix and match different concepts, depending on the app's capabilities, and then come up with something that is unique. Of course, you can also make sure to get this design a little more personalized by adding a few of your own designs to it.

Draw Your Own
If you are in any way artistically inclined, then this is one of the best things that you can do. There is nothing more satisfying that having something that you have created emblazoned on your body. Since this is your own design, you can come up with anything you feel is necessary. The symbol of a favorite band, or an ancient symbol that you feel a certain resonance with is also a good idea. If you know any foreign alphabets, you may want to design a quote that is written in that alphabet. Try having a look at other ancient alphabets as well, as these will help to make your tattoo look all the more unique.



Horoscopes
If you are into astrology, having your horoscope in the form of a tattoo can be a great way of keeping it personal. Try mixing up your Greek horoscope with your Chinese horoscope and see what sort of symbol you create. You can also add your own nuances to it, or get an artistically inclined friend to help you with the overall design.

Image Search
A quick image search on Google, using a few keywords, can bring up a lot of results. Use these symbols in order to guide you to the right design. Although a simple suggestion, you can come up with a lot of unique options.
