Popular Tattoo Designs



Tattoos are more popular than ever before.  It is estimated that nearly 1 in 4 people have at least one tattoo.  When deciding on a tattoo design, there are many different styles to choose from, giving people a chance to be creative. The article below will explore some of the most popular tattoo designs (not necessarily forearm tattoos).

Tribal tattoos are among the most popular designs. Tribal tattoos have a history dating back many hundreds of years and they continue to evolve and become more and more complex with their designs and styles. Tribal tattoos can either be the traditional black style that cover the arms and the legs or the more colorful styles that can cover every area of the body. The colorful, more modern look is becoming more and more popular when compared to other styles.

The “old school” styles of tattoos continue to be popular. Anchors and other more ‘retro’ designs are making a great comeback these days and are not just tattooed on sailors. These styles were very popular back in the 1960 and 70s. We are pleased to see that they are re-gaining their popularity

Lower back tattoos are the most common for women. The lower back is one of the most sexual and sensual areas on a women, making the ideal spot to have a tattoo. Tribal designs are the most popular, although dragons, flowers, and other symbols make great tattoos as well. The lower back offers plenty of natural curves, which can make for an innovative tattoo. 

Dragon designs are another popular type style of tattoos. They were popular in the past, and are now starting to get their popularity back. There are a lot of different dragons to choose from, including the mythical dragon and ancient Chinese dragon. Dragons are great on the chest or shoulder for males and the back for females. Dragon tattoos can be virtually any size, although most males tend to have them cover one side of their chest or the upper region of their arms.

Celtic tattoos are also popular as well (and our favourite). They are mostly seen with those who have a Celtic heritage (in particular Scottish, Welsh, Irish or Cornish), although many with no Celtic heritage have them now because they offer a variety of symbols and designs, providing universal meanings for everyone. 

There are several other types of tattoos out there, although the above are the most common. Tattoos can be very creative and innovative; it all depends on what you want. If you’re looking to stand out and be truly creative – you can always have a professional tattoo artist design one for you.

Chopper Tattoo – Review


 

If you do a general Google search for Tattoo or Forearm Tattoo designs, you will more than likely come across the Chopper Tattoo website (and the associated image below). 

Chopper Tattoos was put together by a team of tattoo experts who are well known within the tattoo industry for their contributions to tattoo design and tattoo art.

Chopper Tattoo is a tattoo design website with a database of about 4000 tattoo’s, specifically set up to help you choose a design for your next tattoo.

You can download and print as many designs as you like, and can combine different designs to make your own custom tattoo.

There are many different tattoo categories (about 38) to choose from in the membership area of Chopper Tattoo.  Once you’ve found a design you like, simply select it and you can print it out to take to your chosen tattoo artist.

Membership Costs

In my opinion the Chopper Tattoo memberships are priced fairly.   The site offers a flexible membership, depending on the length of time / amount of tattoos you require.

- 1 Month – $19.95
- 2 Months – $24.95
- Lifetime – $34

So if you only want one tattoo, then a one month membership is really all you are likely to need.  But if you are wanting multiples, then you probably want the lifetime membership.

Chopper Tattoos – Negatives

The signing up process is a bit sparse.  I am naturally wary of entering my name and e-mail address.  To their credit though, I must admit that I haven’t been bombarded with junk e-mails or spam as a result.

You will need plenty of time to trawl through the site – there is some really cool stuff on the site which is mostly a distraction. 

Chopper Tattoos – Positives

The site is very easy to use, it doesn’t matter if you are a complete beginner or an expert.  Just follow the simple steps and you will get the tattoo you are after.  As you become familiar with the way the site works you will get more out of it.

You don’t need to buy anything else.  If you have your computer and printer, that is all you need.

Chopper Tattoo categorizes the designs to make it easy to find what you are looking for. The popular designs includes Tribal Tattoos, Forearm Tattoos, Dragon Tattoos, Cross Tattoos, Star Tattoos, Lower Back Tattoos, Butterfly Tattoos, Celtic Tattoos, Fish Tattoos, Egyptian Tattoos, Gothic Tattoos and Armband Tattoos.

You can find tattoos according to size, color and keywords and so that you don’t have to pass on several pages to find out your design.

Tribal Tattoo Designs and Their Meanings


The art of tattooing is probably as old as humanity itself and tribal tattoo designs have always been at the forefront of the most favorite tattoo designs throughout the ages. Even though the technology used in tattoos have evolved from the crude ink and needle techniques of yesteryear’s to the modern tattoo- making tools and machines that can create colorful, very intricate and very complicated works of art on a human body, the preference for tribal designs never waned.

The following is a short discussion of the various tribal tattoo designs that many people prefer and a look into the meaning behind these designs.

*The Traditional Meaning of Tribal Tattoos

It has been the tradition of many tribes around the world to sport a form or two of tribal-tattoos on their bodies as part of being a member of that particular tribe. Some of the more popular traditional designs that we see today originated from Borneo, the Celts, the Haidas in Southeast Alaska, the Native American Indians, the ancient Chinese, the Aztecs and other South American tribes, and the Polynesian tribes particularly the Maori people.

Tribal tattoo designs and meanings vary from each tribe and it depends on their mythological roots and how each tribe view and interact with there surroundings and with the world. Most of these designs are associated with their beliefs and religions and form part of rituals and rights of passages. These tattoo designs also have significant social meanings ranging from a unique identification system for families or tribes or as a record of the individual’s accomplishments and phases in life. Others believe tattoos can bring out magical powers or they can drive off evil spirits.

*Tribal Tattoo Meanings in the Modern World

Tribal tattoos are really great-looking designs that stand out despite their monochromatic characteristics. The modern world and tattoo enthusiasts have combined certain elements of traditional designs and mix it up with modern lines, curves and other elements. These designs can be adapted from traditional patterns used by real tribes, or designs can be created from an original variation of the artist using traditional tribal elements.

However, a person wanting such variations or adaptation from original designs should be careful not to offend the original tribe by making more careful studies on tribal tattoo meanings particularly for a specific tribe. Some traditional designs used by native tribes signify their identity and if used by an outsider, the act would be considered a serious insult to the original tribe.

In most cases, tribal tattoo designs used in a modern context does not have the same meaning or connotation as traditional tribes have intended them to be. Most do not have a real meaning in itself and were just created because of plain, artistic and aesthetic beauty that the image possesses. Despite that, a lot of people are enamored and would prefer the tribal design over the multi-colored variations.

Tattooing is an age-old tradition used by many tribes all throughout the world. The black images used in tribal tattoo designs have different connotations and meanings as they are used throughout the tattoo world – both traditionally and in a modern sense.

If you are looking for unique, hot and sexy tribal tattoo design I recommend you have a look at http://www.MiamiInkTattooDesigns.com. They have more than 25,000 tattoo designs in their gallery.
