Deciding What Kind Of Tattoo You Want   By Haydn Dunn 

Tattoo  Tattoos are no longer taboo -- they've been part of mainstream culture for some time now and it's clear that they're here to stay.  Men and Women worldwide get their bodies tattooed for a million and one reasons, including making a drastic change in their lives, or highlighting something that influenced them, either in a positive or negative way and simply to look appealing/sexy

Abstraction tattoos

Abstractions are tattoos that are derived from primitive styles of tattooing. They don't normally consist of much artwork and are often made with black ink and classic gray shading. Old English lettering and Chinese symbols all fall into this category


Naturalistic tattoos

Realistic looking tattoos are referred to as "naturalistic." They involve a lot detail in an attempt to make the design appear as realistic as possible. The artist also uses a lot of shading, perspective, and other special techniques to make the image seem authentic.

 

Dedication tattoos
  Dedications, which are also called "pledges," are often found in sailor or "traditional" western tattooing. They include the popular heart and name banner style tattoos, the anchor with a ship name, and the insignia of a military regiment.

 

  Simplifications are also referred to as stylized tattoos and they appear in all shapes, sizes and styles. A simplification can be an action figurine, or one of those standard pictures you'll find on the wall of most tattoo shops, such as a tiger or a flower
Now that you have an idea of how to differentiate between types of tattoos, here are a couple of things you should consider when shopping for one:
 
Try to have your tattoo designed in a reputable tattoo parlor, preferably one with an established clientele. Simply ask around and
make sure the parlor is clean and sanitized at all times, and don't hesitate to ask questions if you have any concerns.

 Make sure your tattoo artist is competent. How would you feel if you asked for a ferocious tiger tattoo, but ended up with one that looked like a pussycat? Or worse -- the tattoo artist misspells your lover's name? You'd probably be furious to say the least. Oversights do happen frequently and unfortunately, there's no way to simply erase a botched tattoo and start over, I would ask to see the artist portfolio before I get my tattoo done
