The problem with using free tattoo design websites is it that they provide old, diluted and over used designs. When selecting a tattoo, you want it to be unique and different. By using these free websites, you will not achieve these objectives.
To prove my point, simply check out people with tattoos and you will be amazed how many of them have duplicate tattoos. Further proof would include, tattoo parlors themselves. Tattoo shops usually have a display on their wall exhibiting hundreds, at times thousands of designs. If you were to compare tattoo shops, you will notice that they tend to have similar designs on their respective walls.
The trend of searching for a tattoo design on the internet is a recent phenomenon and in the past has worked quite well. Some of these free web-sites would let you view tattoos, and then you were able to save the design on your local computer so you can print the design. This printable tattoo designs are still quite popular today but have been saturated with copied tattoos.
“For me this was a no-brainer. I’ve yet to find a better deal! You’ve got a good set of flashes.. I went for a chinese dragon design on my shoulder. I’m well please with how it looks. The design was clear enough for the artist to follow off.. Cheers. ”

The solution to this problem is simple. Lay down a few buck to join a membership based tattoo design website. These sites ensure that you get quality tattoo designs that are unique and rarely used by the general public. Check out our reviews on tattoo design membership websites for more information.

Or you could find a tattoo artist who is actually an artist, that you can go to with a concept they could help you develop into something unique. I always ask for the pattern, and then I destroy it when it’s over.

I think that your tattoo should be a design that you come up with and if you have an amazing tattoo artist, then he or she has enough creativity to help you come up with your unique tattoo. I understand using different tattoo ideas are nesessary.
I have one tattoo and getting my 2nd one in a couple weeks, and its a sleeping lion with stars scattered around it with a banner that on top of the lion says “in loving memory” than the lower banner says Mavis. The lion reminds me of my Grandma Mavis because she used to have a lion sculpture by her bedroom and she’d joke around saying “even if this lion looks like he’s sleeping, i’m afraid he’s going to wake up and eat me in the middle of the night”.
