Best Gallery Tattoos Because getting a tattoo is such a major life decision - one that you can never truly take back - you need to make sure that you find the single tattoo that is going to make you happy for the rest of your life. Since the parlors themselves tend to limit the amount of designs the available, one of the best places to go is a tattoos gallery.

What is a Tattoos Gallery?

There are types of galleries available. There are galleries that display tattoos that people have already gotten - these are tattoos that are already on the bodies, with user photos and forums - and there are galleries that have tattoo designs that you can use for your next tattoo, completely printable galleries with over 10,000 different designs.

This type of tattoos gallery also comes in two types of its own. There are some that give you a huge library to search from, but you can only buy a single tattoo that costs you as much as 15 dollars. On the other hand, there are other galleries that, for 30 dollars or less, you can get access to 10,000 designs that you can choose from at any time in your life. Meaning, even if you find the single tattoo you want right away, if you decide you are going to get another tattoo later, you still have 9,999 tattoos to go without having to pay any extra money.

You may only need a tattoo once, but paying 15 dollars for a single tattoo is clearly not as valuable as being able to purchase access to 10,000 tattoos for just a few dollars more. And with that type of tattoos gallery, you can be completely sure that when you find the tattoo you are looking for, you are going to be satisfied with it.

Access to a Tattoos Gallery

Your search for your next tattoo should be something that you are continuing to do until the day that you decide to make your final purchase. By looking through extremely large galleries, especially galleries of tattoo designs themselves, rather than just tattoo showcases on people's bodies, your choice of the type of tattoo you will get is something that will not be rushed.

Wing Tattoo

Most wings tattoos come off the shoulder blades and go down the back. but this wings tattoo is unique. It comes off a central hub, which happens to be a lock, and goes across the upper part of the back and wraps onto the shoulders. This design is not very common, especially with the lock. This design is obviously meant to be a more masculine tattoo, with a rougher look and a darker shading then the common wings tattoo design. The edges of the wings have a ruffled look to them, and the shading on the tips of the wings is more pronounced then usual. The wings in this design or more symmetrical then most wings tattoos are, and the artist even equaled out the shading on each wing. One really uncommon feature of this tattoo is the lock. Most wings tattoos are meant to look like they are sprouting out of the back, but this tattoo is showing that the wings are being held together with the lock. The shading on the lock even has a masculine look to it, with a darker shading. Though not the stereotypical wings tattoo, it is still a great design and a great piece of artwork.

Wing Tattoo

When most people think of wing tattoos they think of designs that include angel or fairies. Or they thing of designs that include butterfly or dragonfly wing. But, really this is a limitation of the wing tattoo. The design is so versatile that almost anything can be incorporated into it. One of my favorite all time designs involved a wall clock that had wings sticking out from the side of it. Another design that I have seen recently involved a picture of a family pet with wings coming out of it’s sides. It was done really well and was used as a memorial for a deceased dog. But, the tattoo in the picture takes it all. It’s a Detroit Red Wings tattoo!! It was gotten by a die hard hockey fan who wanted to show his support of the team. It’s a really cool design but it gives me pause for a moment. What happens if the team changes it’s emblem or is sold to another team? Will the bearer of this wing tattoo still want to keep the logo on his skin? These are all important considerations that you need to make before getting any design inked into your skin. Logos and trademarks may seem cool at first but the longevity of the symbol may be limited.

Best Tribal Tattoo Art

Sea-faring Polynesians from Samoa colonized the Marquises Islands as early as 300 A.D. They were warring tribes who sometimes cannibalized their enemies. Marquesan art is very uncommon. Most tribal tattoos are done with one specific object and the size variation is minimal. This is not so with the Pacific.

African Tribal tattoo art

Tribes in Africa do not use pigment for tattooing, they cut the skin and either the wound is packed with a substance so that it becomes raised or it is rubbed with ash or sand until the wound rises up, then the scar is the tattoo.

Borneo Tribal tattoo Art

Borneo is the third largest island in the world. The Dayak people reside here for centuries, they believe that spirits are in everything around them. For this reason they believe that by tattooing an object or creature on them they can draw energy from these spirits.

While the tribal tattoo was originally used to identify members of specific tribes, represent battles fought, and to serve as the symbolization of social status, today tribal tattoo art is a popular fashion. a lot of people today choose various designs simply for aesthetic reasons. Some of the most popular designs include dragon, butterfly and sun tribal tattoos. This tattoo can be put virtually anywhere on the body, The back and arms are usually the most common areas where people have them applied, but the ankle, calf, and chest are also used.

The Tribal tattoo art expresses personal freedom and uniqueness of the wearer. Tribal art has a simple appeal that reinforces a positive feeling about ourselves and connects us to ancient mystery of the tribal rituals, which faded away with history.

Deer Tattoos

This is a perfect example of a deer tattoo. It’s beauty and graceful nature is a siren call beckoning us to the wild. But, the deer is more then just a symbol of nature and in many cultures has a deep symbolism associated with it. China has many symbols for happiness and good fortune, and the deer is one of them. In fact, in Chinese, the words ‘deer’ and ‘abundance’ sound the same. Buddhists like to tell the story of their master’s first teaching, when his blissful presence attracted even the wild animals of the region, most notably the deer. And in both the Celtic and Native American cultures, the deer had a special talent for sniffing out medicinal herbs, earning it special respect and status in life and folklore. The image of a slain deer with herbs in its mouth has even assumed special significance in the art world as a symbol of unrequited love, lost love, or love sickness. And if a deer is seen trampling a snake under it’s hooves then it’s a symbol of overcoming personal temptation. So, as you can see getting a deer tattoo pronounces not only one’s love for the wild but also has a significant spiritual meaning.

Deer Tattoos

Many people consider a deer tattoo to be a design that only belongs on hunters or nature lovers. But, did you know that deer tattoos have symbolic significance in many different cultures and mythologies? A deer is not only symbolic of luck for Asian cultures but it is also a symbol for abundance. And it’s a symbol for abundance in not just the East but in almost every civilization that the creature is prevalent in. To native Americans, the deer was also a symbol for rebirth. It’s arrival often signally the start of spring or the end of summer. Also, in some cultures deer are synonymous for virtue and on occasion passion. The deer tattoo can also have a meaning associated with love, believe it or not. A deer tattoo with a branch or thistles in it’s mouth is symbolic of forlorn love. The deer tattoo in the picture is a cross between a naturalistic depiction of this animal and a tribal design. I really like how the whole motif flows and still retains the characteristics of this beautiful and peaceful creature of nature. This is a design that can be blended into almost any body of tattoo work.

Japanese Dragon Tattoo

This is one of my favorite Japanese dragon tattoos. I like the way it wraps from his shoulder blade, up around the shoulder and down the front of the chest. This Japanese dragon tattoo also has a very sad look on it’s face like it had just been defeated in battle or something. And though I wasn’t sure about it when I first saw it, I eventually came to realize that I really liked the monotone color of this design. I believe this Japanese dragon tattoo to be a symbol of luck and wisdom. Of course all tattoos are about personal expression and therefore the meaning of any tattoo is really derived by the person wearing the tattoo. There are not any hard and fast rules that a tattoo must always represent just one thing. Instead each tattoo and tattoo design will mean something unique and different to the bearer of the tattoo. Therefore any discussion of the symbolism or meaning of a dragon tattoo must be taken in that light. As is the case with any tattoo, the bearer is the one who makes the design special and unique. It should be a personal representation of the person.

Japanese Dragon Tattoo

Japanese dragon tattoos can be beautiful additions to any collection of body art. But, if your looking for an authentic Japanese dragon tattoo then that can require a little bit of research. And that’s because there is very little known about the Japanese dragon and there are very few good examples available online. But, with a little patience and fore knowledge you can find a design that’s not only beautiful but one that is also to the Japanese dragon motif. The first thing to look for when finding the appropriate dragon is the number of claws on it’s feet. Chinese dragons have four claws, but Japanese dragons only have three. Another thing to consider is that in Japanese dragon tattoos, the dragons are much more slender and serpent like then in other cultures. Many of the famous Japanese dragons can be seen in the picture. From left to right they are Ka Riu, Han Riu and Kanji Ryu. That’s the perfect start from which you can find the design that your looking. And as you can plainly see, a Japanese dragon tattoo can not only be dazzling but also rich in symbolic meaning. So, why not start your quest for one today.

Foot Tattoo

A foot tattoo can look quite striking. There’s no question that one peeking out of a sexy shoe of a woman can be very attractive. And it just so happens that they are the most popular among women. Quite possibly for that very reason. The only thing a woman needs to decide is what she would like to see on her foot. Flowers tend to be the most popular design but there are certainly many other designs which someone can be very happy with. There could be stars or clouds, a koi fish, a dragon or just about anything the imagination can come up with. If you or your artist can draw it, then it can be tattooed onto your foot.

But before you get a foot tattoo there are a few drawbacks that you need to know about. Foot tattoos tend to be much more painful than most others because the skin is so close to bone. In fact, some tattoo artists won’t even do foot tattoos for this very reason. Also, if you grit your teeth and get the foot tattoo the initial care of it takes a bit more effort than a normal tattoo does. It’s not that big of deal but it needs to be said up front and you need to be aware of it.

Foot Tattoo

Foot tattoos can often be beautiful pieces of art. Just take a look at the cartoon sparrow in the picture. It looks real good on the top of this person’s foot, but you know that it really had to hurt. Especially with all the color shading. And another problem with a foot tattoo is that they require a lot of care. So, let’s take a quick look at what’s required to maintain a foot tattoo so that it keeps it’s color and sheen. After getting your foot tattoo make sure that you let it breathe. It’s going to need plenty of air, so either go without shoes or at the very least wear sandals. The more air you let your foot tattoo get the quicker the design will heal. The next step, keep your foot elevated while you sleep to relieve some of the swelling. It is completely normal for your foot to swell. How large it swells up depends on how much you are on your feet each day. Step number three; Your tattoo artist will recommend an antibiotic cream to apply to your foot tattoo for the first few days. And the final piece of advice. Do not under any circumstances pick at the foot tattoo. This can cause pitting or scarring so be careful. If you follow these guidelines you will have a piece of art you can enjoy a lifetime.

Dragonfly Tattoos

Dragonfly tattoos are symbolic of independence, freedom and beauty. Their hues are across the entire color spectrum, from silver to blue and red. But, what makes dragonfly tattoos important are it’s symbolic qualities derived from it’s biology. Dragonflies, like butterflies, go through a metamorphosis. This magical change has been viewed for centuries as a beautifying process. It is a process that is also marked by newfound freedom as the dragonfly can now flutter away from the cocoon, and its past, and travel towards a new life. Therefore, beauty and positive change are some of the meanings behind dragonfly tattoo designs and why they are sought out by so many who want to physically represent their own inner beauty and changes in life. With the dragonfly’s ability to swirl, hover, fly backwards and loop-the-loop, dragonfly tattoo designs also represent free spirits and the independence of mankind. In Native American astrology, there is a strong belief that each person has a totem animal spirit which serves as their guardians and guides through certain phases of life. And one of these totem spirits was the spirit of the dragonfly. It would adopt men and women, young and old. Therefore, the dragonfly tattoo can be adopted by both males and females alike.

Dragonfly Tattoos

If you want an interesting and beautiful tattoo design then the dragonfly tattoo might just fit your needs. To some people the dragonfly may seem a pest, but that is usually because they do not recognize the differences between many members of the insect family and wrongly blame all of them for the annoyances caused by a few. In fact, dragonflies eat other pesky insects such as mosquitoes and don’t bite humans themselves. This makes them quite useful insects. The symbolism of dragonfly tattoos may come from a little known Japanese legend. According to the story, a dragonfly once ate a horsefly immediately after it had bitten the emperor. He was so happy with this that he named what is now the island of Japan, Asitsushuma, which roughly translates as ‘Island of the dragonfly". Dragonflies in Japan are often regarded as symbols of success, happiness and victory. Where you put the dragonfly tattoo is also of importance. A dragonfly place on the hip may be a sign of femininity, while one that is placed on the back is significant of strength or endurance. This tattoo designs looks especially good on the back of the lower leg, abdomen or even as a hip tattoo.

Fish Tattoos

Fish tattoos are commonly becoming more and more popular as a design element. And one of the most popular fish tattoo designs is the Koi fish. But, what’s the symbolism and history behind this ancient Japanese animal? Let’s go over the basics. Koi are actually a form of carp and have been raised and bred in Japan for who know, probably hundred of years. If you have been to Japan you will notice they are a common feature in most traditional Japanese gardens. They have been seen in China even before they were popular in Japan. And they are a considered a symbol of perseverance or strength. That’s probably because of its determination to overcome hardships. As such it also represents courage and the ability to attain any goal set before the bearer. Fish tattoos, including the Asian carp, are also known for good fortune and good luck. Koi are so popular in Japan that they are often the center of many festivals. So, the next time your thinking of getting a fish tattoo then you might want to get a Koi design. And hopefully, this fish tattoo will be the bearer of luck and good tidings.

Fish Tattoos

This fish tattoo is a whimsical representation of an animal that is steeped in history and symbolic meaning the world over. Let’s talk a little about it’s significance, shall we? For many of the world’s ancient cultures the fish was the symbol of water, mother, and great goddess. Early myth relates that the fish was the vulva of Isis, who, taking the form of the fish, swallowed the penis of Osiris. The fish then stood for the feminine and her reproductive powers. The Celts also used the fish symbol as representing female sexuality and birth. In Hindu culture, the fish was a marriage symbol. When a bride first enters the house of her husband, she does so with a fish in her hand. But, the fish tattoo has meanings in Asian cultures as well. Fish play an important role in many Asian cultures as entities to ward off evil spirits, or to bring harmony and prosperity into the home. The fish is the water symbol, an essential element in Chinese ‘feng shui’. The goldfish is synonymous with good fortune, while a goldfish leaping over a wave is the symbol of man’s ability to transcend. The goldfish is leaving the lower regions and ‘jumping’ to a higher ground of being. The goldfish also represents longevity, wisdom, loyalty and knowledge, and is a popular creature in Chinese mythology. A fish tattoo can not only be a beautiful or cute design, but as you can see here it’s also one that is a powerful symbol around the world.

Butterflies Tattoos Design

Butterflies tattoos are the second most popular tattoo designs today. Some are more animated and cartoon like and some very true-to-life. But, choosing the correct design to highlight the potential of this magnificent insect can be a truly daunting task. Believe me when I tell you that there are quite a few species of this insect. As a matter of fact, there are thousands upon thousands of them. First, we’ll take a look at real butterfly photography, then we’ll explore simpler, more animated clip art. If you do a simple search on the world wide web, your sure to find a lot of fantastic pictures of these magnificent and beautiful little buggers. And when choosing a butterfly tattoo design, nothing can compare to the beauty that can be found naturally. Mother nature really has some incredible designs when it comes to butterflies. Consider the butterflies tattoo in the picture. It’s a cross between a tribal butterfly design and a cartoon depiction of butterflies. It’s done with bright pigments and would make a fantastic design. It just goes to show you what can be done with a whole lot of inspiration, and an eye pointed towards the beauty of mother nature.

Butterflies Tattoos Design

If your looking for a feminine way to express your personal style then why not try getting a butterflies tattoo. But, before you commit one moment to getting the design inked into your skin then do some research and find a talented and qualified tattoo artist. You sure don’t want to get a butterflies tattoo design dreamed up that has a ton of personality and style and then have it inked by a sub standard tattoo artist. Then you might end up with something that doesn’t look anything like your original butterflies tattoo or one where the color isn’t as bright as it should be. And there’s another thing that you need to keep in mind. Did you know that a butterflies tattoo that is poorly done can actually lose it’s color over time? Yep, that’s right, if the artist hasn’t properly inked the butterflies tattoo then the color can actually start bleeding out. That’s usually due to the fact that sub standard artist will use inferior inks. These inks can have numerous problems besides bleeding out. They can cause allergic reaction, or fade too quickly. Then you have a butterflies tattoo that is missing huge chunks of color or is faded. And you don’t want that now do you?
