Tattoos have a rich history and have been worn by people of many great civilizations. Even in ancient times, this was considered to be a very basic way to adorn one's body. Even those of royal lineage engaged in the tradition of adorning themselves with this form of body art. Slowly, as time progressed, tattoos became less popular, and over the last few centuries it was usually only sailors and those in the armed forces who wore tattoos. The exception to this was the popularity of tattoos among gangsters and criminals, who wore them to announce their allegiance to a group or an idea, and to make them appear more menacing. Occasionally teenagers could be seen with a tattoo, worn with the intention of giving them a macho appearance or to show undying love. The situation is hugely different now.
These days tattoos are a real fashion. It is a style statement that also allows you a peek at an individual's persona. There are so many patterns and styles of tattooing that you will be amazed by the variation. Tribal tattoo art, sophisticated Greek style tattoos, or purana scripture styled tattoos; there are a whole lot to choose from. So it is quite understandable that custom design tattoos are very popular these days. Before you become acquainted with the many benefits that our custom design tattoos hold for you, you must have an idea about things that can cause you to have a messy tattoo.
1. A tattoo is something which cannot be removed easily, so it is absolutely essential that your tattoo looks good. The basic ground rule is to depend on reliable sources of custom tattoo designs. An amateur tattoo artist may seem more appealing to you, but going for a site that has been used by others and has been given strong positive reviews, is far safer. Our site has hundreds of customized tattoo designs submitted by real artists.
2. You can also get a bad tattoo if the needles are substandard or the artist's hand is shaky. However good the design that you have selected may be, it takes only a moment's distraction to ruin the whole thing. But while using stencils, as we recommend, it is not so easy to go wrong. As a result you can expect a clean, sharp tattoo.
3. Early tattoos were mainly done in the basic color black, and sometimes red and green. But these days there are no limits on the colors that you can have in your tattoo. However, this is where a tattoo can become messy. Be very careful about your selection of colors. If you are not particularly fair, then orange, or light brown shadings will only make your tattoo look messy. Colors like charcoal, indigo and bottle green are safe to play with. Also, remember that too many contrasting colors in one tattoo will look dirty.
Overall, it is significant that you are clear about what you want, because tattoos are not only permanent, they define your personality.
