pretty tattoo ideas , any suggestions ?

Question

i want something out of the box and very pretty . .

Answer 1

Don't look for 'tattoo designs'. Instead find any images or objects that appeal to you, that are meaningful and pretty to you, and take them as references to your tattoo artist of choice to interpret into a tattoo design.

Pictures, photos, drawings, paintings, sculpture, jewelry, designs on fabric, something from nature, something from antiques or family heirlooms, etc.

Here's a great article that may help:

Answer 2

A skull that's bleeding out guts and brains everywhere. Also have rats eating said guts and brains. It will be really pretty. Trust me.





Seriously, don't just get a tattoo because you can get a tattoo. You should know exactly what you want. It's going on YOUR body. Not mine.

Answer 3

I saw some girls get a butterfly (like an aeropostale sign) a moose (like the abercrombie sign) and then a seagull (like the hollister sign) all on there lower side of there stomache! i thought it was really a cute idea! hope this helps!

Answer 4

try sketching out something simple like a pattern of black twisty swirly lines.



If i were getting a tat, I would get something pretty like a mermaid, a flowy cool fish, or a fairy.
