| Back Piece Tattoos |
A BAD REP?
Over the last few years, many people jumped on the bandwagon of being tattooed on their lower back. Many of these people did not spend a lot of time or thought on their tattoos and, as such, tattoos on the lower back suffered from the stigma of being nicknamed "tramp stamps". You do not have to follow their lack of judgment.
LOOK INTO YOUR HEAD!
To create a particular design which is unique and personalized to you, you will need to undertake a bit of makeshift self analysis! Use a big piece of paper and write your name in the middle and jot down short phrases or words around the edge which could describe you. Begin with your appearance, then go on to how you think others view you, as well as what occupation you have, what relationships you are involved with, what you like to snack on, how you like to spend your personal hours, whereabouts you like to spend your vacations. By doing this, you are trying to get an awareness of yourself onto this piece of paper, so that you can get a shortened idea of your personality from all angles. Go on; give it a try.
SOME HOMEWORK!
Not all of us are gifted artists and the majority of us will need assistance in generating our tattoo. Nevertheless, before reaching out to others for help, you are better off spending a fair bit of time on your own noting down the types of tattoos you like; try and assemble some outline sketches. Check online and stroll around your local city to see what others have for tattoos. If you are drawn to one particular tattoo design, note it down.
SOME DISCUSSIONS
After having put together a shortlist of custom tattoo designs, you should discuss these with your friends to take into account their feedback. This is not for them to change the designs, but for them to offer constructive feedback. If you are totally content with your design, you do not have to do this, but in my experience, lots of folks find this to be helpful.
SOME PROFESSIONAL ADVICE
Once you have done this, you should go and visit a local tattoo joint to ask for their ideas. They are guaranteed to possess a huge selection of tattoo designs to choose from, and it is certainly possible to include your personal preferences to transform one of these into one of the custom tattoo designs from which you will make your choice. Without doubt, there is a sliding scale of involvement, which depends on how solid your ideas are and how artistic you think you are.
SOME FINAL THOUGHTS
In conclusion, the tattoo you choose must be something you adore. Try and envision this love as a soulmate-type love rather than a short term relationship; this should see you on the right path to uncovering the design which is designed just for you.
