Tattoos used to be quite rare, but now as celebrities have shown off theirs and as youngsters want to “rebel” and get one done, then they are a lot more common. Yet choosing a tattoo can be really difficult, often there are only small selections at the tattoo parlor for you to look through, or you could go online to find one you like and then pay for the right to use that design. Below we discuss some of the most popular tattoo designs that you might be interested in.
Stars have to be one of the most simple designs you can get, yet they are beautiful too. You can get a few stars to highlight an area of your body, or you can have them woven in with other patterns to form a more complex design. The hip is a popular place to have some stars, or you could have a line down each side of your stomach to highlight that area.
Dragons are another really popular tattoo design, both the western style and the eastern style of dragon. Dragons are supposed to be wise and powerful creatures which is why I think that they are so popular in designs, plus obviously they look great and they can be trailed around your body to fit whatever space you like.
Tribal designs are popular with guys more so than with women, but as they are so simple then you don’t have to worry about it not looking as good as the original design when they finish, as you tend to do with designs that are more complex and more likely to go wrong. They tend to symbolize power and strength because they look like the tattoos on warriors from hunter-gatherer tribes.
Flowers are a lot like the star tattoo, you can use one or two to highlight an area, or you can combine them and add in some other features and you quickly have a rich and detailed design. Plus as there are so many different flowers in the world, and they are all different colors and shapes, then you have a huge quantity to choose from to make up your design. The cherry blossom tattoo is a symbolic and beautiful flower tattoo that is really popular at the moment.
The final design on our list is the cross, which remains popular even though fewer and fewer people go to church. This tattoo may remain popular because it symbolizes that none of us really know what happens after death, or the symbolism might be unique to the individual who has it, but this looks set to remain popular for years to come.
