  • Tattoo Ideas and Inspiration

    Tattoo Ideas and Inspiration

    One of the most common questions around tattoos are how people find up their tattoo ideas and inspiration for tattoos.
    The main thing to point out here is you can’t force inspiration. You can’t force inspired ideas to come to yourself out of nowhere (well you can, but they will be terrible or misdirected usually).
    Everyone is into into different things. First what you need to do is identify what type of learner you are – the easiest way to separate these is between visual and written.

    So, you’re considering getting your first tattoo. Awesome! And who could blame you? Tattoos are a great means of self-expression that can accurately reflect a piece of yourself for others to see in an aesthetically interesting way. If this sounds appealing to you, you aren’t alone; over 35% of adults in the United States between ages 18 and 25 have at least one tattoo, and the phenomenon of permanent body art is becoming more commonplace and widely accepted every day.

    There are many reasons to decide to get a tattoo, but there are also a few things to think about before you decide to sit in that chair and go under the needle. Whether you already have a bit of knowledge about the tattoo industry or if you’re brand new to the entire concept of body art application, hopefully these tips will leave you mentally prepared and confident in your decision to get a tattoo!

  • What You Need To Know About White Ink Tattoos

    White Ink Tattoos

    Tattoo trends have come and gone over the years, especially as tattoos have grown in popularity over the past couple decades. And among those many trends—UV ink tattoos, infinity symbol tattoos, watercolor style tattoos, trash polka, and more—comes a somewhat more recent development, which has taken the tattoo industry by storm as recently as just within the past couple years: white ink tattoos.

    Many tattoo styles have eliminated the use of black ink for outlining in order to make the design appear softer, more feminine, or more subtle, but white ink tattoos take this concept a step further and create a final tattoo that is nearly imperceptible on the skin unless the viewer is up close, almost like an optical illusion. These tattoos can be elaborate and elegant or simplistic and edgy, and because of their subtlety on the skin, they are a popular option for those who want a tattoo, but who are worried about having something that draws too much attention or is too bold.

    Are you considering getting a white ink tattoo? While this type of body modification is a newer trend, more is being discovered about them, and as alluring as they may be, white ink tattoos are not without their downsides. Read on to find out more about the white ink tattoo trend!
