The Best Tattoo Designs

If you have spent the time to really choose or create a great tattoo design you'll want it to look great forever. There are a couple things that will help you maintain nice vibrant tattoos for a long time such as: using sunscreen and basic skincare. Your skin is the canvas. So, the better you take care of your skin, the better your tattoos are going to look. However, even the most diligent tattoo caretakers will eventually need to touch up their tattoos. Probably about every 10 years or so is a good plan for retouching your body art. I would say that this is a commonly neglected practice. A touch-up isn't likely going to cost you near as much as a brand new tattoo. They also don't take as long to do since the artist doesn't have to make a stencil. There's really no reason not to keep your tattoo designs looking fresh for a lifetime.

Sometimes Simple is Best Tattoo Design

Simple tattoos can be great because they can be distinguished from a distance and they have a certain elegance to them most of the time. Simple doesn't have to mean small though. By eliminating a lot of color and detail you can get your design down to its essence. It takes a lot of artistic skill to simplify a design well though. An added bonus will likely be that your tattoo will be less expensive too due to less color and detail. But don't skimp for that reason alone. Tattoos are expensive, but they are a lifelong investment. It's worth every penny for a great tattoo.

God Great Tattoo Design

Tattoos are more popular today than they have ever been. No longer are they only for renegades & rebels. Thanks to great advancements in technology, body art can be absolutely breathtaking! Just about anything you can do on canvas or paper can be done in a tattoo. That's the good part. The bad part is that not everything that looks good on paper translates into a great tattoo. Every medium has its strengths and weaknesses, tattooing is no exception. A tattoo is unique because you have to consider things such as: body placement, skin color, close & distant viewpoints, and aging.
