Drawing Tattoos - Tattoo Ideas

Image
Drawing tattoos is fun but when you get stuck for design ideas it's not so fun as you could get frustrated by having to think about drawing what you love to do, the process of coming up with quality tattoo concept ideas can flow quite easily if you take the following into consideration. Draw on interests - Your main area of interest you could specialize in and create art based on what you find easy to draw, for example you may like fantasy art, so you can draw many things in this area, like dragons, warriors, dwarves or anything, so long as it gets you thinking about your drawings with solid ideas. Creative atmosphere - Often in a creative environment when you work with others or you have art on your wall and you are relaxed you can come up with more ideas than you can handle and this is good and can make the difference for your many ideas to flourish, watching a movie while you sketch is one of my favourite ways to be creatively inspired, especially if it's an action packed...

Tattoo Drawings - You Might Be Missing Out on a Lot of Real Artwork

Image
Depending on how you're currently searching for tattoo drawings, there's a huge chance you are staring at bad artwork. When I talk about "bad" art, I am pointing at the generic stuff that's laced throughout the web. This cookie cutter junk seems to be everywhere now, but it's really not, because changing how you search for tattoo drawings will open up the flood gates to original, high quality art. I'm not trying to make this simpler than it is. It's actually that easy. I know it is, because I've used this simple and effective method so many times in the past and it always brings me to the quality artwork I want and need. It doesn't even matter what style you're hunting for. The biggest mistake most (90%) of us make is something very fixable. We always begin by picking a search engine and using it to look for artwork websites. This is not just some minor mistake, because you won't find the sites that have quality tattoo drawings like ...

Girl Tattoo Galleries - The Number One Choice For Tattoo Choosing

Image
Online girl tattoo galleries are becoming increasingly popular ways of finding the tattoo design that's perfect for you. With a limited supply of tattoos available for you to choose from in a tattoo parlour, many people are looking online for designs that they can give their tattooist to reproduce on their skin. Girls in particular are generally even pickier about men over which tattoo they should have, and it's not uncommon for them to spend days in many tattoo parlours in order to find that perfect design, and even then it can feel rushed. This is what you don't want; if you rush into a decision you may find that you're not fully happy with it and then you're either stuck with it, or have to spend a serious amount of money on tattoo-removal surgery. The best way to combat this problem is to subscribe to an online tattoo gallery and view their patterns. These patterns can then be given to an experienced tattoo artist to be transferred to your skin. They are often a...

Tattoo Art Gallery - There Are Two Types of Galleries Out There

Image
One type of tattoo art gallery will be stuffed to the brim with original, perfectly drawn artwork. The other type will be bloated with every generic design they could get their paws on. Why am I telling you this? I'm doing it because you've probably seen every generic place on the planet, but have no idea where the better galleries are. If you want to pick from the real artwork that a quality tattoo art gallery has, here's the inside scoop. The first thing you want to do is keep far away from any search engines. You shouldn't be using them when it comes to looking for galleries, because they are not good at supplying us with decent lists of them. In fact, all you get is a list of every bland, cookie cutter tattoo art gallery. Since over 90% of us still use search engines to look for galleries, this is exactly why everyone is drowning in a sea of terrible artwork. Worst of all, people are settling on those garbage designs and then regret it in a couple of months. The ...

Various Types of Bird Tattoo Design

Image
Bird tattoo designs have taken precedence over all other forms and types of tattoo designs universally. Across time, space and cultures, the bird has stood as a symbol of freedom, of spirit, of soul, of beauty. Flying high in the blue skies, birds are said to be closer to the gods and the heavens, and in many cultures, are viewed as creatures that carry the spirits of the departed to the heavens above. In the days of old, heroes were always accompanied by birds as they went in pursuit of fiends, ogres, dragons and monsters. In most tales of yore, the birds would fly ahead to spy and return to inform the hero of looming obstacles, thus bringing about the famous phrase, 'a little bird told me'! Bird tattoos are also very popular due to their connection with religion as well as the mystical. Birds can be found in every era of history; stick figurines of birds have been discovered in the ancient Egyptian tombs in the pyramids, bedecking Arapaho Ghost Dance costumes, at African t...

Tribal Sun Tattoos - Meaning, Popularity, Designs of these Sun Tattoos

Image
The sun is the source of all energy, the provider for all lives on earth because without the sun, there'll be no life, the earth will be frozen in darkness. For thousands of years, the sun has been worshiped as god in many ancient cultures. The sun designs can be seen in many artworks of the Mayans, Greeks, Egyptians, Romans, and Babylonians which described it as god, the provider for food, protection, and life.

Male Tattoo Pictures - A Great Way to Find Tattoo Design Ideas

Image
Thinking about getting an artwork tattooed on a specific part of your body? One of the most common designs among male tattoos is a fire dragon. Girls rarely sport dragon tattoos, but they are quite popular among men. Dragons symbolize power and heroism. The strongest dragon is the fire dragon. You can have a fire dragon portrayed on your full sleeve, along with fire coming out from its mouths and nostrils. If dragon tattoo pictures are too common for your taste, why not go for tiger tattoo pictures? Tigers may be a little smaller in size than dragons, but they equally symbolize power, ferocity and speed. Another wonderful idea is Celtic designs. Celts were always associated with its brave warriors. King Arthur was a very famous Celtic, do you know? Celt warriors, nobles and knights were well known in history for their courage and strength. If you're stuck for ideas, make the World Wide Web your best friend. The internet is a great way to find great ideas for male tattoo pictures...

Tribal Dog Tattoo - Tips on Getting Your New Tattoo

Image
You are looking for a tribal dog tattoo - which is awesome. Ideally your choice reflects your personal tastes and sense of aesthetics. But now comes the most important part: searching for the perfect image. The time and effort you put in finding the right tattoo will reflect in how much you (and others) love your tattoo, and for how long. So definitely do the hard work, it will be worth it. For my part, I hope I can help with some tips. First, avoid using Google as your source for images. Google's image search is great for most things, but it doesn't cater to tattoos in specific. More importantly, it is not unique - everyone has access to the same images and options. If you get a tattoo, you want to know that you are the only person who has it - it should be part of who you are. My suggestion is to try a site that caters specifically to tattoos. The best feature of such sites is that they offer images and resources that are unique and available only to members. For a fee, you c...

How a Bird Turned Into a Man - Chris Andersen Tattoos

Image
Among all NBA players, Chris Andersen is the one who can proudly show off the most amazing tattoos. In this article I will try to describe this singular and often underestimated basketball player and his wonderful tattoos. During this 2008/2009 NBA Season, Chris Andersen, also known as "The Birdman" (name he earned for his flying ability on the court and a couple of wings tattooed on his arms), has once again proved to be one of the best center in the NBA. Nevertheless, he is still better known for his crazy hair-style and his many tattoos than for his basketball skills. Due to his tattoos and his defensive ability, Andersen has often been likened to an old NBA Star, Dennis Rodman. Born July 7 1978 in Long Beach, California, Chris Andersen spent only a few years of his childhood in his homeland. As a teenager, he grew up in Texas, Iola, and he ended up choosing the University of Huston for his higher education. It did not take him too much time to understand he was not mad...
