5 Ways to Pick Your Next Tattoo

[@shdow14629]

i feel like a huge thing about tattoos that people forget is that it's supposed to make you happy. it doesn't matter if someone thinks it will or will not look good on you. have fun with it. i have a huge sunflower on my thigh and my (ex)boyfriend said i shouldn't get it since it was too big and thought it made me look too feminine(i'm a guy). so i didn't get it for a long time. i finally got it done when we broke up and you know what? it IS big and it DOES look feminine, but it makes me happy. i love sunflowers! they make me think of the sun and happiness and springtime! i don't care what others think of me if they see it, because it makes me smile and that should be enough

[@positivevibesveda]

I want to get a sunflower too! It’s my grandmother’s favorite flower and I think they’re beautiful. Hopefully she’ll be able to appreciate it by the time I am old enough to get one, but if not, I want to honor her anyway. I think it’s cool you got your tat even though your boyfriend didn’t approve. My parents don’t like tattoos and although I want to please them, I don’t want to stop myself from being happy just because of their opinions. Thank you for sharing your story :)

1. pick a body part - ie leg, chest 2. pick a design - ie christmas tree, creepy clown 3. pick a style - ie japanese, minimal 4. pick an artist 5. pick a theme - ie game of thrones, batman

[@jessicab4317]

When I'm picking my designs I find it helpful to draw ideas on with eyeliner and wear it around my house, that way I can get used to an image on my body and decide if I like the placement and size!

[@libiluvi]

Jessica B l do this too! It led me to switch one of my tattoos to the other arm last minute and I'm so happy I did that haha 😄

[@carlagarcia7743]

I got my first tattoo this past week and I did this with an ink pen. I drew it on to get used to it. As someone commitment phobic, it was an important step.

[@jamesdunlop5087]

I used permanent marker for a long time to decide my first tattoo

[@lukechrist]

AYEEEEE I used to do the same thing, but with Sharpie! XD ^.^

[@1000wastedwords]

That's why I ordered a custom temporary tattoo. I'm working on placement, font, etc. and making sure I like it before committing to it.

[@ams_1046]

I had my first tattoo planed out for years. When I went to get it done,the tattooist asked where I wanted it and what size. I somehow never thought about until i got there. I just on the spot looked at my arm and picked the size in under 10 secs. To my surprise,It turned out better than I could ever imagine! Perhaps I won't get so lucky next time so thanks for the advice!

[@meepoman3941]

Uh yeah, no. No no no.i ain’t waiting years to change muh damn skin I’m just find the damn people. Also if you wait years you can’t brag to your dumbass friends in high school about you getting a tattoo in the womb

[@dove3099]

Mason Shaffer yeah you ain't shit about her. I've made the design of my first tattoo when I was 15 but I wasn't okay with the idea of doing it then because my body just wasn't ready. When I was 18 I knew I didn't had time to take care of it and made it by the tattoo artist I wanted. I've done it when I was 21.

[@lukechrist]

I have a vast majourity of my tattoos pre-planned. My first was a heart inspired by MM's Eat Me Drink Me logo on my wrist. (I know, "how original" xD)

[@Rainbowlove132]

Mason Shaffer Same, I went in and when asked where I wanted it. I said my ribs.. I completely forgot that ribs shouldn’t be the first place to tattoo. Came out perfectly too thank goodness!

[@masonrogers4343]

I love how you’re so open minded yet very disciplined at the same time. It’s like a perfect chemistry. Example: You need a theme but you don’t have to exaggerate it and you can throw other stuff in as well

[@TheunPopularopinionwithSara]

[@tattooistlegend7005]

Space Gay what’s wrong with getting ideas from a tattoo? And some of the best tattoo artist start of by coping tattoos so that dosent make them shitty.

[@tattooistlegend7005]

I have a basketball game tomorrow I want to get a rose in my forearm with Roman numerals in the bottom of the rose I searched up Roman numerals tattoos and there were already people with Roman numerals and roses in their forearm it’s impossible not to steal a tattoo

[@sydneyanne1241]

I just recently got my first tattoo and I went into the parlor and found an artist I liked but the guy told me he wouldn’t be comfortable doing it and suggested another artist and he does traditional style and he custom made an amazing tattoo and I know if anyone else would’ve done my tattoo I would’ve hated it. I really appreciate how honest the other guy was with me because if he wasn’t I would’ve been stuck with a shitty tattoo

[@stephanieyee9784]

That first guy is a real tattooist. As he was honest and helpful you would perhaps be inclined to go to him in the future and/or refer people to him. Glad you found a good artist and arr happy with your tattoo.

Such a shame that 1337 changed their name, I was living the serendipity of your 13:37 length video! Excellent video as always. Good timing too as I'm working out my next pieces. I use Pinterest a lot for inspiration of tattoos and then create a mood board to show the artist when talking through a design.

[@raiberno7691]

YESSSSSS THANK YOU, this is just what i needed, i was struggling so much to come up with a winter themed tattoo and used the site you recommended so now i have a snowflake dragon idea cooking up. Thank you Kat :D

[@myne1213]

For me I knew what I wanted (a tree of life) as my Celtic, Pagan background. I found a handful of style pictures with pieces and parts I liked (the roots in a traditional Celtic Knot, simple leaves) and showed them to my artist. We talked about what I liked, what he could do to make it his art piece, colors, and a million other things. He scribbled on the pics i gave him so he knew what pieces and parts...and in the end at the appointment I had a beautiful piece I love that looked nothing like the photos, but was exactly what I wanted. Having inspiration photos I don't think in it's self is bad...as long as it is a step to becoming yours and the artists own piece. I have several symbols that to mean what they mean can't really be changed but a good artist can make them beautiful. My Celtic motherhood symbol is shaded and colored in a way that makes it exactly what it is without being a cookie cutter of someone else's.

I always tell my friends if you want it put it every where you look for a few months to year and I mean every where. If you're not sick of seeing it by then go for it. If you can't stand it after that then its not for you. Now when it comes to picking an artist i ask to see their work and decide if I want their style if I want a different style I find a different artist

[@nicci3624]

I found this video really helpful, I’m deciding on my 4th tattoo and I know I want more but I didn’t know how to go about planning what tattoos should go where. This gave me some clarification and validation.

[@saranox7319]

Thank you Katrin, this helped me tremendously. Only 2 days of surfing and I found the tattoo artist lady I want to get inked by. I am so lucky to have discovered her who combines everything I ever dreamed of in a tattooing style and is located in my country.

[@vendasiax666x8]

My Dream Tattoo: Roses + Snakes + Skiull Goes from wrist to shoulder and is like a sleeve. Colour Sceme: Fading Contour Colours: Red, Black Green, Olive Green White Meaning: Roses= Love, Passion, Blossom Snakes: Betrayel, Cunning, Deceit Skull= Suicide, Grief, Empytness Background: Smoke settling down Details: Snakes: One snake is luring in the skull and one in the roses. Each of them looking directly forward, ready to attack anyone. Skull: A mixture of beeing the incarnation of Death and the motionless eternety. Roses: All roses are representing a unlocked path, while the last one is still closed or only a little bit to halfway open.

I'm really glad I watched this as I just got my first tattoo - a small pine tree on the side of my wrist - and even though it's still healing, I'm planning out my next one which will be a little more adventurous! I'm so glad you talked at length about style and how it fits, so thank you !

[@dalilam3994]

Me, watching this video: “oh wow, great tips, I should really keep this in mind for my next tattoo” Me, every time I walk into a tattoo parlour: *sees flash* “I want this” “just put it wherever you find free space”

[@phoenix_quinn]

All my tattoos have a deeper meaning so when i learn something new or i want to memorize something i come up with that first. Then i do some research about the topic and find a symbol or an animal or a picture or whatever i like and i customize it the way i want to have my tattoo. Sometimes i combine two or more pictures with one or more meanings. Then i try to imagine the tattoo on different parts of my body and when i find a spot where it fits I‘m drawing my tattoo on my body. I just have to have the feeling that it fits perfectly. When its done i usually feel some sort of click that its perfect. This method is really time consuming and i dont come up with many tattoos in a short time but in the end i get a perfect tattoo so for me its worth spending so much time and energy because it‘s gonna be on my body forever

[@Wander85942]

I’m so ready for next tattoo. I have a plan in my head where and what I’m getting

[@stephanieyee9784]

[@hannahjervis]

I tend to pick the artist first, then the place on my body, and I usually just give them a bunch of ideas and let them do what they want. I find it more fulfilling personally to let the creative person deal with the design aspect of it. Loved this video. (:

I've had an idea for a tattoo for probably 8 or 9 years now and this video gave me the confidence to finally get it. I was scared because I know what design I want and I have meaning but I didnt know where, I only thought of my thighs. But now I've decided that if I get them on my thighs I'll still love them, cos I love all my other tattoos

[@meljstephan]

I have 4 tattoos and have used tips 1, 2, 3, and 4. My feet I picked because foot tattoos are my favorite, my wrist I picked for the meaning, my neck I picked for the style, and my forearm I picked for the artist. Maybe my next I'll pick a theme haha. Great video, awesome concept!

[@_Myriad_]

Im really happy you said the bit about meaning not being 100% necessary because when I got my first tattoo, it was one that I had drawn and designed myself and decided to get it tattooed just because it looked nice and i was proud of my drawing, and lots of other people weren't happy when i told them that was all it was and it kind of made me feel bad. Now though having it on my body for a while I actually have created a meaning for it and have another 2 tattoos planned around a shared theme (i dont have them yet though...need money lol.) I feel like I might have created the meaning just to have something to tell people when they ask, and I am actually happy with the meaning and glad I have one, but even though this one does have a meaning now to me its still good to hear that for future tattooes that they dont absolutely have to have a meaning, so thank you for mentioning that :)

[@kayleighbowser4786]

I always love watching your videos. Being someone that is a bit more heavily tattooed than the average person, I feel sometimes annoyed when people ask me these questions like "How do you pick your tattoos?" "How do you decide on a style?". These questions are very easily answered for those of us who are used to that thought process, but your videos teach me to have patience with people who aren't tattooed yet. Or people who just don't think the same way as I do. It's helped me have better answers to give people when they ask me these questions and I am so happy that someone like you is making these kinds of videos! It helps us all in the long run

[@maiganlambert5993]

It's like sitting and listening to a friend talk:) For tattoo ideas I have a notebook where I jot down tattoo ideas as they come up. But to actually decide which comes next, I always pick a body part first and then I pick an idea from my idea list and decide what would fit best there. I have an artist and shop I trust, and will often seek advice from my artist first before finalizing a decision.

[@grimcross9055]

It first tattoo was a loooong word. So I know a street artist specialized in writings. Very well known for his works on the walls of my city and he happened to start tattooing like a few months earlier I decided to get a tattoo. All his works were very nice and he was basically a beginner at that time and I always liked his style and the tattoos he was making at the time were sick knowing he was at the beginning of his career. So I went for it, I was excited, I had everything. The style, the meaning, the artist, I wanted it on the back of my shoulder on the left... All went all right, I was happy with the result. Now he's booked for like months and months if you want to get tattooed by him good luck.. My second tattoo was different and very disappointing bc i didn't check all this points, I just went whit the design, but I didn't check the artist... So I can really say that if you don't miss any of this key points you probably won't regret anything. But the most important is: choose your artist wisely the experience is not everything, not everybody has the talent that it takes to do everything so be sure that he has at least the talent for your design or the experience that it takes to make your design work along with his "style".

[@yesicanhearyouclemfandango6862]

Your tattoo advise was how I found your channel (I subscribed because your content in general is stellar) and the advise you give is pretty insightful. I remember a thing you said previously about the tattoos you wanted when you were younger are things you'd neverrrr get now. Same here, I cringe so fucking hard when I remember the tattoos I wanted when I was 17/18.. so glad I kept putting it off because money was an issue. The designs weren't absolute shit lol but I'd never everrrr get'em now. Kids, just wait a bit lol you won't regret it

One of the tattoo's I got was originally going to be a bit smaller and in a different location than it is but because of the design I decided that it wasn't going to work in the area. Even the tattoo artist agreed that moving it to where it is worked best for the design.

Quick tattoo story time: I got 4 tattoos in total (planning on more tho). My most recent one, is also the one I love the most. It was made by an apprentice, who had put out the design on facebook, and I got it just in time!(literally, an hour after I got it, another person asked if it was still up for sale). It's a mix of 2 different styles, it's sooo beautifully done, with perfect shading and coloring and straight lines, and one of the best parts of it? Regularly, it would've been $1000 dollars, but I got it for only $200 dollars, because the artist was an apprentice!

My parents aren't really into tattoos either. I know people will say it's your body but it's different depending on your cultural background and just your relationship with your parents. I asked and mentioned and brought up the idea of a tattoo ever since I could remember. They always said no but I feel like they weren't surprised when I was serious. I told them I wouldn't get it anywhere visible and it would be small. I talked about all the research I'd done about artists and ink and styles. The price thing still bothers them though. I have an appointment for my first tattoo and I'm surprised they haven't freaked out or at least my dad. I also made sure to show small "cute" tattoos so they wouldn't keep thinking about prison tats. I'm not getting a cute tattoo but it for sure is something with lines that aren't so bold.

I have a flying saucer that I hand poked on my foot and it has no meaning but I just like it

[@ladygadventures4144]

Your face looks so perfect! Thanks for the advise

I am about to get my first tattoo next month, which I am very excited about.

[@ffi4356]

Me and my bffs all have tattooed on our left wrist “Since 2012” which is the year we met

[@lavendergilly5843]

I love your plugs, I use fake ones because I'm nervous about my earlobe snapping (exercise or metal shows). I want one on my neck, because I love to sing. One on my left clavical line, possibly a rune, or a few runes since I have some asatru in my ecclectic forming pagan path.... and i'd like a colorful sleeve on my left side and a skull/clock tattoo on my right, because death/mortality/not wasting time are very dear to my heart

[@robertb4513]

It was really helpful for my next tattoo. The website you recommended will be a great source for inspiration Thank you

Do you think it's fine if my first tattoo doesn't have a meaning? I was thinking of getting a spider just because I like spiders...

[@Katrinberndt]

I think that’s meaning enough ^^

[@idontknowdude3021]

Katrin Berndt thank you!! I always hear of those people with deep deep meanings and thought maybe it wasn't enough...

[@jamesdunlop5087]

Sometimes tattoos are just there to look good. Sometimes you can come up with a meaning a long time after you got the tattoo. Either way, as long as you are happy with it, it is completely fine.

[@eatyorvegies]

Did you get your spider?

[@ZedsBills]

My first tattoo was a bumblebee and I hate bees but I still like the tat

[@freshyt9152]

I’m 14 and I want a tattoo my mom said if I find out what ratio I wanted and I remembered it after two years she would let me get it so like I gotta think and make sure this is important to me.

[@ronja_roverdatter]

Also looking at your favourite artist's flash is a great way to find a tattoo you want 😁

[@Katrinberndt]

True!

[@xLCLIPx]

I picked my tattoo and a week later got it and I still love it. It’s a blue jay feather for my grandpa who died from Brain Cancer. I’m only 16 my dad hated it and was kinda mad at me, but he’s barley in my life anyway. The tattoo is for me to please me not anyone else. My mom and step dad took me to get it. But I want MOREE...

"cooking is my life" 😂

I literally have a 1 hr tat voucher expiring next month and Im raking my brain for a SMALL idea that isnt already taken by my already-planned-out BIG pieces.
