From their colors to their shapes, to their fragrances, from the wild to the tamed, from the beautiful to the rather odd, there’s a flower tattoo to fit any requirement. The most popular of flowers chosen as tattoos are roses, sunflowers, lilies, lotus flowers, tulip and orchids. Besides their obvious beauty each of these flowers speaks of particular ideals.

Japanese tattoos are deep routed in an exquisite culture, of geishas, samurais, renounced architecture, mysterious creatures, tea ceremonies and lucky charms. Japanese tattoos are best inked on large surfaces; either the whole arm, whole back, or another large expanse of skin is needed to really bring Japanese tattoos to life. Japanese tattoos done on a small scale may lose some of their intricacies and splendor.

Koi Fish Tattoo

The Koi Fish Tattoo And Success


Koi Fish Tattoo
Koi Fish Tattoo
Koi  fish are prominent subjects in the Japanese culture and also in Japanese tattoos. The term nishikigoi in Japanese means "colored carp" and refers to the mysterious and delightful realm of koi fish. The Japanese admired these fish not only for their beauty but for their ability to transform the observer into another state.

When you consider the scales of a fish, and how light gives them a shimmering almost ethereal glow, those glistening scales, with a small shift in perception, can take the form of a sky full of dancing stars or a beautiful sequined dress or a bundle of shimmering treasure coins. So you see how fish can open up the imagination, allow you to think laterally and see beyond the obvious, qualities which have been the benchmark for good business.

Skull Tattoos
Whenever we think of the skull, it’s the obvious that comes into mind. Death, darkness, torture and horror films. And whenever we see skull tattoos on someone we may  even jump to conclusions at their state of mind, which is most likely that they like the idea of death and that may be even be suicidal. I am not joking I know at least half a dozen of people that will avoid talking to people with a scary skull tattoo.

The Intimacy Of Breast Tattoos

Breast tattoos are a great way of keeping something discreet. Although depending on the placement breast tattoos are only revealed to those that are closest to you. The left breast area Is the area which is the closest to your heart.

Many people’s choice of a tattoo respectively corresponds to something or someone that they hold most dear to them.

The tattoo should not be governed by reason, intellect or logic, it should be something that only the heart can truly comprehend.

The infinity is a mathematical symbol which represents eternity, as the design itself has no breaks, it is continuous and keeps on going. Many people who believe in the simplicity of the design as well as its deep symbology will be wearers of this tattoo.

In addition Infinity tattoos do not require much space and therefore can fit just about anywhere, appealing to people who may not be too keen on getting something too conspicuous. From the hand, the wrist, the finger, and even the ear, I have seen infinity tattoos inked in the most smallest of spaces.

Fairy Tattoos

Fairy Tattoos
Fairy tattoos are one of my favorite tattoo themes. Fairies are those little enchanted creatures that are all about sweet magic and innocent wizardry, they inspire a little mischief and they leave behind a trail of sparkle wherever they go.

I guess that’s why many people have fairy tattoos inked, as they want to in some way emulate those magical qualities and create something magical themselves, not in the literal sense but at least inspire that individual to create some miracles within their own lives.

Owl Tattoos

Owl tattoos have been growing in popularity over the past decades. I guess the reasons why an owl makes an interesting tattoo choice is because you can really create a fun tattoo which still has meaning.

Almost all cultures have held this bird in high esteem. Egyptians believed that the owl was able to communicate with the underworld and would accompany their souls when they departed. In Greek culture, the owl sits on the shoulder of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and reveals unseen truths to her.

Tattoos For Men

Themes for tattoos for men

When we think of tattoos for men we think of something masculine, aggressive, and something that tells a story about their journey in life, their belief system and what they stand for. Traditionally tattoos for men have depicted something that consolidates their manhood, and represents their role of being the bread winner in the family. It’s the cave man imagine that comes into mind. I guess over time although this image has faded somewhat I guess there will always be a need for men to prove that they can be a provider, giver and assume most of the responsibilities of the major decisions in his and his family’s life. So your choice of tattoo should reflect that. Let’s look at a few obvious choices for tattoos for men.

When considering to ink short tattoo quotes onto your body, the famous saying from Robert Browning ‘less is more’ could not be more apt. We are constantly inundated with information, whether it be from the constant bombardment from adverts and marketing, the countless spam from emails or people in general saying a lot more than is necessary. So if you have decided to get inked in the form of quotes, the message will hit home a little harder if u consider short tattoo quotes that are direct and to the point.

Why Tattoo Quotes Are So Popular

Quote Tattoos For Girls
Quote Tattoos For Girls
Quotes have been around for ages and there is a reason why that is so. They have been able to survive through  the ages because of the depth of meaning they are able to hold, the way they are able to motivate and encourage, they can serve pillars of how one can live their lives and are treasured as little pearls of wisdom. They are able to amuse, to liberate, to educate, to inspire and above all, the ones that are able to touch our heart stay with us forever.

It is for this reason that tattoo quotes have become popular choices in the tattoo arena. Looking at  it from another perspective is the importance of idols in this day and age. Most people have or at least are encouraged to have a role model that they can look up to and emulate in some way, shape or form. Maybe it was the things they achieved or what they themselves represented.  So having a tattoo which which is quoted by their idol, will help keep that idol alive, mentally as well as physically.
