Placement. Some designs look great on your back, some look better on your feet. Pick a spot in your body you want to get tattooed and start looking for appropriate designs.
Style. There are Traditional, Neo-Traditional, Tribal, Symmetric, Watercolor… there are plenty styles and every one is unique in its own way.
Size. You may want to start with a small tattoo.
Your personal experiences and hobby. If you want a design that appeals directly to you, you may have to share some if your experiences and history to your artist.

And, most of all, you should see a lot of tattoos. Only by checking out what’s out there, you can figure out what you like. And that’s what we’re here for! Here we present to you a few examples of designs and styles so you can see which ones are for you.
