Whats the Right Tattoo for You - 3 Methods to Choose By Chess McDoogle
Picking the right tattoo for you should be extremely important and well thought out. It will be there for life and deserves careful consideration. The thought you put into your tattoo, strengthens the tattoo. Not only will you have a connection to your design, but you will have put in the careful thought and consideration necessary which makes for a stronger tattoo in the long run.
Three ways to consider your tattoo design are to think of:
1. Experiences. Thinking of important experiences you've had in your life make for good tattoo. These experiences need only be symbolized by a single design which has some connection to the experience. A small mural or a few pieces together can also work well.
2. People. Names are sometimes frowned upon, and sometimes regretful especially when it comes to a lover. Instead think of an image which could signify a certain individual or what he/she stands for or believes in. Facial recreations can work as well, especially for individuals who have passed away, or strong role models whom values you hold strong and firm.
3. Personal. This really is the ultimate and while the two above methods may fit in the personal category, you can also reach much broader heights and choose a tattoo design which you simply like for your own personal reasons. Whether you can put these reasons into words is not necessary, sometimes art brings about strong feeling that surpasses any verbal definition. You have perhaps found your perfect tattoo design if you do experience that kind of strong connection with a tattoo design.
Research is key when searching for your tattoo design and there is an enormous online catalog that can be found here http://tattoo-book.info/ The book contains thousands must see unique artistic designs to choose from - http://tattoo-book.blogspot.com/
Did Tattoo Prank Screw the Cubs?
Apparently the Cubs' post-season collapse had nothing to do with inconsistent pitching, a tattered bullpen, or an impotent offense. Rather, it can apparently be blamed on Jimmy Burroughs' new Cubs tattoo that has a pro-Cardinals sentiment in it. Burroughs stopped by American Rebel Tattoo Studios in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee where he got the tattoo (pictured right). Tattoo artist Deke Rivers wrote "Go Cards" as a joke and Burroughs laughed along, eventually asking Rivers to color it in, but the message remained visible. Instead of getting the tattoo fixed, though, Burroughs left it as is because the Cubs went on a hot streak. But now that the Cubs have crapped the bed, the superstitious Burroughs plans on getting the tattoo fixed. "I pretty much blame the tattoo for the Cubs losing. It kills me to have a tattoo that says 'Go Cards.'" Fortunately for Burroughs, he's also a child therapist which will surely help him deal with his masochistic tendencies. [via Fark]

Picture of Tribal Tattoo For You - 3 Ways to Choose By Chess McDoogle
Choosing the right picture of tribal tattoo can range from randomly selecting a generic design you feel looks good, to actually researching the meaning behind a particular picture of tribal tattoo. Here are three ways to choose a picture of tribal tattoo for you:
1. Randomly choose a tribal design. This is probably the most common method individuals use, and it's unfortunate for a number of reasons. There has been a heavy trend towards tribal tattoo designs in the past ten years, and many have hopped on the bandwagon, gone out and randomly chose a picture of tribal tattoo they thought was "cool". Had it not been trendy they wouldn't have ever thought to choose a picture of tribal tattoo to place on their body. These type of tattoo decisions are the one's where regret later sets in after the trend wears off. Many feel foolish after realizing how "not-unique" their tattoo is while seeing everyone and their brother with a random picture of tribal tattoo wrapped around the arm!
2. Finding meaning. Now finding meaning when looking for a picture of tribal tattoo, can be done out of a weak rationalization that this will somehow justify jumping on the bandwagon. If you truly are after significance in your ink then do your due diligence, but if your a trend hopper then just hop on and be done with it. Fortunately for those seeking symbols or meaning, searching for a picture of tribal tattoo, can be very rewarding and exciting. You can begin by researching the various tribes and finding a picture of tribal tattoo, and learning the meaning behind it. Native Indian, North American Indian, Pacific Northwest American Indian, Indigenous, African, Egyptian, Mayan, Aztec, Hawaiian, Samoan, Maori, South Pacific, Micronesian, Polynesian, Melanesian, are but a few tribal tattoo designs to look into.
3. Incorporating the Modern. This method involves incorporating both modern design with tribal design, but doing so in a tasteful way. This reflects both the current day while also representing the past. Basically a tattoo design is used, say a particular object of some sort, then the picture of tribal tattoo design is incorporated around it, alongside it, or preferably in a way where "equal billing" is given to both the object and picture of tribal tattoo. Many of the weaker versions of this simply have tribal "arms" sticking out from the object. Here the picture of tribal tattoo is essentially demoted to that of flames. Stronger versions of incorporation involve utilizing the tribal tat in a way that works alongside the object in some manner, visually or symbolically.
Finding the right picture of tribal tattoo may seem easy on the surface, but if you are into finding something unique with meaning, then its worth researching. The right picture of tribal tattoo combined with your favorite modern tattoo is also worth much research and thought. Ultimately you want to have your tribal tattoo choice and experience be memorable, and not regretful.
