If you’re looking for tattoo design ideas, the internet is a great place to start. Online you’ll find more designs than any studio could offer, in a variety of styles to suit every taste. Some sites even offer high resolution printable tattoo designs that you can print off and take to your tattoo artist, making the whole process a lot easier.
When choosing a tattoo design, you should consider:
- Where it will be placed (do you want to be able to easily hide it if necessary?)
- How large you want it to be (larger tattoos are obviously more attention-grabbing, and also more painful to have inked, since the skin will become significantly inflamed before the tattoo is complete)
- If you prefer bright colours or monochrome
- How much you want to spend (tattoo prices vary a lot, and larger and more intricate tattoos will usually cost more)
- What kind of design appeals to you (abstract, symbolic, representational, intricate, minimal…)
Popular categories of tattoo designs include:

You can get lots of ideas for tattoo designs by browsing the galleries of the many tattoo sites online, as well as by looking at tattoo books and magazines, and at the displays in tattoo shops. If you look online, be prepared to wade through a lot of low quality designs on the free sites, unless you decide to join a membership site such as TattooMeNow or Chopper Tattoo, which offer thousands of top quality professional designs in all of the above categories.
Wherever you look for your design, take your time and don’t settle for anything that’s less than perfect for you – you’ll (almost certainly) be living with it for the rest of your life after all!
