Have you been thinking about how you can design your own tattoo? A lot of people do design their own tattoos from the concept all the way through to the actually ink to skin portion. This can be a very satisfying feeling. First of all you know that you have a full 100% unique tattoo because you drew it yourself. Also you can brag to your friends how cool and what a great artist you are. Wow multi talented it impresses everyone. The best thing is you do not have to be an amazing artist to design many tattoos. By using the computer to do some research and even using graphics programs you can often create some really great tattoo designs. This article will help you locate some of the online resources that you can use in finding and creating your own tattoo design.

Online Galleries
There are a ton of online tattoo galleries. Sure many of them are filled with tattoos that are boring passé and out of fashion and they have been used millions of times already. So I am not suggesting you go to one of these online tattoo gallery sites and copy the images and get them tattooed. Instead you can use these online galleries to come up with ideas for your tattoo design. Remember you are going to alter the design and make your own unique tattoo. You can change the shapes, position of objects, color and themes.

Tattoo Rating Sites
Another goldmine of tattoo designs and photos can be found on tattoo rating sites. These are community types of sites where users sign up and then post pictures of their tattoo designs. Then other users can view the person’s collection of tattoos and rate them. If you are wanting to design your own tattoo you can use these sites to find resources and photos of great tattoos that you like. You can find the top rated tattoo designs of the type of tattoo that you want to get. Thus you know you are finding resources and pictures of some of the best designs since they have been highly rated by other users.


Tattoo Forums
Tattoo forums are another type of community site where users can sign up and become a member and then post message to other member on the forum. Most tattoo forums have a gallery sections. You can use the photos in the gallery section to help gather ideas. You can also post messages and seek advice from other users about the tattoo you want to design. For example if you want a memorial tattoo but not sure what symbolism to use you can ask other people for ideas.

Tattoo Community Sites
Last but not least are the web 2.0 properties. These are the newest types of sites from all of the ones above. These allow users to create a profile and sign up as a member of the site. They can then start a blog, share photos and interact in a forum. These sites are like a combination of all of the above sites rolled into one huge site. Again they can be helpful to gather pictures, ideas and possible meanings of tattoo designs. You can ask others for ideas, and suggestions.

By using these online tattoo design resources and sites you can often find other designs that you are drawn to. You can print these out and use them as resources and ideas to help sketch out and design your own tattoo.

If I lived back in the wild west days, instead of carrying a six-gun in my holster, I'd carry a soldering iron. That way, if some smart-aleck cowboy said something like 'Hey, look. He's carrying a soldering iron!' and started laughing, and everybody else started laughing, I could just say, 'That's right, it's a soldering iron. The soldering iron of justice.' Then everybody would get real quiet and ashamed, because they had made fun of the soldering iron of justice, and I could probably hit them up for a free drink.
