Tattoo Designs For Men

So thinking of getting a tattoo? Not that I want to discourage you in any way, especially given that it is my profession and that I have 5 tattoos of my own but there are some pits that you could unintentionally fall into. Let’s look at some tattoo designs for men that have gone terribly wrong! Try and avoid these 5 pitfalls!

Pitfall 1 for Tattoo Designs For Men- Inaccurate Images!

Now many men want a photograph to be replicated, this could be of many things but generally it is a portrait of a loved one or an idol. This is the most difficult thing for most professional tattoo artists as it requires tremendous skill. Compare wanting a tattoo of a random drawing like a dragon to that of a photograph of your mothers; now a small difference between the drawing of the dragon and the your tattoo can go unnoticed. However the most minuscule difference between the photograph and the actual tattoo of your mother can be absolutely disastrous. So please make sure you go to the best of the best if you are thinking of getting a photograph replicated. It might be more expensive but trust me you will be thankful in the end, especially after you have seen the following screw ups!

Pitfall 2 for Tattoo Designs For Men- Spelling and Grammar Mistakes!

Now this should be ohhh so obvious!!I fail to understand why so many people make such basic grammar and spelling mistakes especially with something that it is going to stay on you potentially until you die! Consult a mate who knows how to spell, check on Google, open the thesaurus, call your local library! Do whatever to make sure you have got it right!

Ok, so you want a tattoo and your excited. But in that excitement don’t lose your grip on reality and transcend into the obnoxious or just darn right weird. You are eventually going to come out of that little phase and end up getting the tattoo removed when you do.

So getting a tattoo of your ex-girlfriend hanging herself just after your break up might not be such a good idea after all! Below are some more examples of upsurd tattoo designs for men!

Pitfall 4 for Tattoo Designs For Men- Translation Gone Wrong!

The translations of tattoos are certainly very popular. Now it might be that they don’t want everyone knowing what the tattoo says or they might find something intriguing about a particular language. Maybe it show it looks aesthetically, for that the most popular languages are Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic, or it might be to do with the the idea that they are ancient languages which date back thousands and thousands of years and hence gives the tattoo a certain weight. For example David Beckham has used a tattoo of Victoria in Sanskrit, one of the earliest of languages and in this respect it could be symbolic of their love; that it also dates back till the beginning of time.

Now it’s all well and good if the translation of the tattoo is what you expected but I have seen countless tattoos that are translated with slight mistakes and complete misinterpretation. Be warned and check various sources before you get it inked!

Pitfall 5 For Tattoo Designs For Men- Overdoing It!

You know those people that just don’t know when enough is enough? Like those famous and infamous individuals that get their whole bodies inked? Now it’s great to love tattoos, heck I know I do, but I don’t believe in overdoing it to such an extent where it becomes an obsession. For such individuals their whole being seems to be center around tattoos. Tattoos are there to express individuality, to create something that is special to you, it’s not about creating an excess, because when there is an excess of something it generally loses its value.
