Although I don't have any of my own I've always found the artwork of tattoos to be fascinating. Here's a few of the more interesting & cool tats I've found in my search across the web.

Jesus tattoos

The beauty of tattoos is that they cross all boundaries...including religion. These are some very passionate and religious people that have really dedicated their lives to Christ.




Orca tattoo

I came across this orca tattoo and had to showcase it because it is just simply a beautiful piece of artwork. I mean, this would be beautiful just hanging on someone's wall at home, but to think that someone created this on another person's arm is just amazing.  I can almost hear the splash the orca would make as it hits the water.


Amazing Darth Vader tattoo

Now this is one dedicated, hard core, Sith Lord
 But, man....that is one amazing tat!

How Good Are Free Tattoo Designs?

Each and every one of us is constantly on the lookout for bargains, great deals, and any way to save money that we can find.  With the Internet being so popular nowadays, most people look to the Internet for free tattoo designs. For the majority of us, free is always the best way to go.  If you stop and think about it, a free tattoo design sounds much more appealing than paying as much as $150.00 for one at a tattoo studio.  The fact about it is simple - someone can just as easily draw their tattoo design themselves and then pay a tattoo artist to put the tattoo on them.

However, if you stop to think abut it a while, you may start to wonder if free tattoo designs are actually worth it in the end.  The simple fact that they're free is always great, although you may wonder if the design is something you'd want to display permanently on your body.  When you show your new tattoo to friends, they might think negative thoughts when you tell them that you got the design for free off the Internet.  Each and every time you display your tattoo people will want to know about the message and the design behind it, which you’ll probably need to give some thought to.


We're all familiar with the old saying “you get what you pay for”, and it’s truly no different in this case.  Although there are hundreds and hundreds of websites on the Internet that provide free tattoo designs, only a few of them are really worth the interest.  Most of the free designs out there on the Internet are very poor quality.  Therefore, it would be in your best interest to wait and have a professional tattoo artist create the design for you.

Those who decide to go with free tattoo designs will tell you that tattoos are very expensive and they can’t afford to have a professional tattoo artist create the design.  Other people, when dealing with custom tattoo designs, will say that their tattoo artist doesn’t do custom designs or that he just didn't want to do theirs.  Although most of this might be true to an extent, there really is no better way to get a tattoo than using a design made by a professional tattoo artist.

As you could imagine, most free tattoo designs are generally made by someone who knows next to nothing about tattoo designing.  In most cases, these designs are created by someone who is simply looking to make a quick buck instead of a true professional tattoo artist.  You can easily tell that they aren’t professional quality just by looking at them.  Most free designs have poor quality, poor lines, and often times the work appears to be made on a personal computer.  You certainly wouldn’t want to use something like this with your tattoo – simply because you will have it for the rest of your life.

If you spend a lot of time searching on the Internet for free tattoo designs, you might be able to find a few with decent quality.  There are some good quality designs out there, although you’ll probably have to look quite a bit to find them.  It’s best to have an idea in mind about the tattoo you want, and then start looking for it. It may take you some extra time, and you could very well find it. But if you do come across it as a free tattoo design – you should always triple check the quality before you decide to have it done. Remember, a tattoo is forever and you want to make sure you have the design that is best suited for and means the most to you so that you can wear it with pride for the rest of your life.
