Tribal Skull Tattoo Designs

A lot of people gaze at tattoos as a way to show off, become rugged, or just make a statement. Many of them are trying to express their feelings, lifestyle, or past. Over the years, tattoos have evolved into many unique designs, and they continue to grow and to satisfy the person getting the tattoo. Before getting a tattoo always do your homework to find the tattoo that you want. If you like long thick symmetrical designs, tribal tattoos are perfect for you.

Tribal tattoo designs are very detailed and can look very good on anyone, which makes it a great tattoo to have. Thousands of years ago, these tattoos were used by members of antediluvian tribes for identifying the members of their clan. Some of the tribes believed that tribal tattoos had religious or spiritual connotations. If you have an inclination towards notions such as life and death, you might find many such tattoo designs in the tribal tattoo art. Well, if you have a dark side, or you are obsessed with the notion of death, you will certainly like tribal skull tattoos. These tattoos are very appealing. If you are spell-bound by tribal skull tattoos, it's time to find out more about tribal skull tattoo symbolization.

Tribal Skull Tattoos: Symbolism

When planning on getting a tribal skull tattoo design, you should first understand what it symbolizes. The meaning of the tattoo must be in conformity with your way of thinking or your emotions. Normally skull tattoos mean death or relate to the dead. But there can be other meanings as well. The conception of death is very complicated in itself. It can be related to the spirituality world also. It can mean the transformation from life to the after world.

It can also be used to teach individuals not to be afraid of death since it comes naturally. Death is not the only meaning. Tribal skull designs can also be associated with dangerous activities, the thrill for adventure, etc. It can also be inked as a way to show others your wild and crazy side. Many men use it as a sign of masculinity or to scare others. One way that women show that they too can be fearless is to get a tattoo of a skull.

Tribal Skull Tattoo Designs

As is the case with any tattoo, the tribal skull tattoo designs depend upon your imagination and creativity. The thick line of tribal tattoos helps greatly in producing the style of the tribal skull design. You can get this tattoo anywhere. But the most outstanding place is on a person's arm, shoulder, and their back. The skull and crossbones tattoo is one of the common skull tattoo designs. You can also tell the tattoo artist to make an evil skull drawing with a banner on the skull that carries your name. There are literally endless possibilities of skull designs to make.

You can also include other design elements such as flames. Flames can be drawn around the skull. Many tribal skulls are just plain black and white but if you add color to yours that makes it more personal. Thick, dark-colored strokes around the skull look great. Most women make a skull tattoo more feminine by adding color even flowers, especially roses. If you want a scary or evil-looking skull tattoo, you could add horns to the skull or show a snake rolled around the skull. If you want something detailed, you could get the grim reaper skeleton skull tattoo. Another interesting suggestion would be to get merely a part of skull tattooed and display flames all around it. You can also make two swords underneath the skull. A lot can be done to make the skull look scary. You can darken the eye sockets. You can also use skull design as a piece of a larger tattoo.

Popular Tattoo Designs for Girls

Girls are always asking me what tattoos they should get or what I think are the hottest tattoos for girls. Unfortunately there is no clear cut answer simply because there are as many different types of tattoos are there are girls. What one person might find sexy another might consider unattractive or very unfeminine.

Certain styles of tattoos might not suit the image you want to project. For example certain work environments may not accept highly visible tattoos even though tattoos are becoming more and more accepted. It may be wise to hold off getting that sacred heart tattoo emblazoned across your chest if your boss is going to flip out if (s)he sees it!

So in saying that what I hope to do in this short article is offer my insight and experience within the tattoo industry for the past 9 or 10 years and point out the current tattoo trends and what the most popular styles of tattoos are for girls. At the end of the day you want a tattoo that has lasting appeal and not a tattoo that was done on a whim. If I give you some good ideas for your next tattoo all the better...

Trends come and go. What was cool ten years ago is no longer cool. In the nineties certain types of tattoos such as cartoon characters like Betty Boop, barbed wire armbands and dolphins were in. Looking at them now they appear very cheesy and basic.

Tattoo art has come such a long way in the past few years even. Certain styles of tattoos have become perennial and have risen to a point where they are getting the respect and acknowledged they deserve for their intricacy and artistry.

Styles as diverse as Japanese tattoos, Indian/Hindu tattoos, Anime, Traditional American and Floral designs are raising the bar higher and higher and becoming increasingly popular.

Alongside that is the fact that people are beginning to see their skin as a human canvas and not just settling for random tattoos placed haphazardly on a part of the body that is hidden. Nowadays more and more girls are getting larger tattoos and more of them.

This may explain the popularity of Japanese tattoos. In traditional Japanese tattoos each character has a meaning and interacts with the other tattoo designs as part of the whole.

The same is true for Traditional American tattoos. Previously what were once done as individual tattoos from disparate elements of American culture are now being woven into an organic and is more like a story unfolding.

Top Five Most Popular Tattoos for Girls

Irezumi - Traditional Japanese tattoos - More and more girls are asking for large tattoo designs such as koi fish, dragons on their hips, back and arms.

Traditional American tattoos - Old school 'Sailor Jerry' tattoos and images such as classic American cars, pin-ups, swallows and nautical stars are becoming more popular on girls chests, abdomen, back and legs.

Floral tattoos - So many girls are getting flower tattoos as full sleeve tattoos or covering their entire back or legs with floral designs. Flower tattoo designs such as lotus flowers, peonies, orchids, chrysanthemums and flowering vines are the most popular.

Anime - Japanese animation has become massive and doesn't show any sign of disappearing any time soon. As a result Anime tattoos have become popular in the past five years or so. The only risk with Anime tattoo is that unlike other styles will probably age much quicker even though it looks great now.

Ex-soldier Tattooed all 232 names of troops killed

Ex-soldier Tattooed all 232 names of troops killedHis bare back is still red raw from their freshly-inked names.But former soldier Shaun Clark had promised to have the name of every troop killed in Afghanistan tattooed on his body in honour of their sacrifice.And he wasn’t going to back out.Mr Clark, 43, spent more than four hours in the tattooist’s chair today as each of the 232 names were etched in ink over his chest and back.He said: ‘I don’t mind suffering for a few days if I can let the lads know that people really care about what they’re doing out there, and raise some money for the guys coming home wounded as well.’The family thought I was mad to begin with, but they’ve come round to the idea now, and my wife is backing me all the way.’The married father-of-two from Doncaster hopes his challenge will raise £500 for the charity Help for Heroes.He plans on updating the sombre list every year on Remembrance Day if required.Before his ordeal began, Mr Clark said: ‘It’s going to be painful business but it’s nothing compared to what the troops are going through every single day on the front line.’He added: ‘I know it’s a bit extreme covering the top half of your body front and back with 223 names, but it’s my way of honouring all those men and women and it’ll be there as a memorial for as long as I live.’Mr Clark said: ‘I wanted to do something to raise money for the heroes who still need help and to honour the memory of the fallen.’I've still lots of friends from my days in the Army over in Afghanistan and there’s lots of Donny lads out there as well.’Lots of people do things to raise money but I wanted to do something different and something permanent.’It’s not just about raising money – it’s also about letting these lads know that people care about what they’re doing.’Tattoo artist Kevin Kent, who is donating his services free of charge, said: ‘We’re going to start just as the two minute silence begins at 11am on Wednesday, and I’ve told Shaun that’s it’s going to be a slow and painful process.’Mr Clark served in Denmark, Gibraltar and Norway before leaving the Army in 1997.He says he has received many messages of support from soldiers still out in Afghanistan as well as from former colleagues.Mr Clark has set up a page on the Just Giving fundraising website and has raised £165.His page is inundated with supportive comments from well-wishers.One supporter writes: ‘Good luck shaun its means a lot to me what you are doing as my husband is there soon.’Another adds: ‘Top bloke. We will remember them.’A Help for Heroes spokesman said: ‘We are used to people going the extra mile, but this goes far beyond the norm.’Shaun was in touch a few days ago to confirm everything was going ahead.’It turned out to be a very poignant conversation because the volunteer who took the call lost her husband in action earlier in the year and, of course, his name is among those on the list.”Help for Heroes is a charity that raises money to support members of the Armed Forces who have been wounded.In just over two years, the charity has raised over £30million through more than 10,000 individual events.

Religious Tattoo Design


Locating Religion Artwork Online

Getting a religious tattoo design is a great choice, but locating the quality religion artwork online can be a pain, as you may have found out. You have probably scoured the web, trying to find the good designs, but have come up just about empty, if you were like me. Don't worry, though, because I will tell you what to watch out for when it comes to the generic art on the internet, as well as how to find the top notch stuff.

A religious tattoo design is not something that you should have to "settle" for. You should have to take any designs simply because that is all you could find. First of all, what that means is that you should not settle for a Google search. You also shouldn't rely on artwork from random, cookie-cutter websites that may have a lot of tattoos and designs. A lot of these places are filled with content that is over six or seven years old and plastered all over the internet already. Since that's the case, who knows how many people already have those designs inked on their skin? That's not the kind of religious tattoo design you want to settle for. You want your artwork to be original and you want it to be good quality, not some generic piece.

One more thing about those generic websites that may have a religious tattoo design you may see...

It has to do with the tons of artists that submit their artwork to these places. A lot of the artists do not have very much knowledge when it comes to tattoos. This means that they may be good at what they do, which is draw, but they don't know what it takes to draw something that will look just as good once inked on somebody's skin. Sure, they might be very good artists, but they don't know how to draw something that will look great once made into real-life tattoos. That's not the type of religious tattoo design you want to even think about getting.

The good news is that there are simple ways around the cookie-cutter designs out there, even for religious tattoo design artwork...

When starting your search for a religious tattoo design, you should begin with internet forums. I can't tell you how many different times I have gone straight to forums when I am searching for any particular tattoos and artwork. This is the best place to locate the websites that have quality designs that are made by artists that have in-depth knowledge when it comes to drawing something specifically made to be implemented as tattoos.

Remember, people love to brag when they find a hidden gem, such as a websites with top quality artwork, made especially for tattoos. This is how you can find that original religious tattoo design that is not plastered all over the internet. Good intentioned folks tell a select few about where they found the best art out there and you can reap the benefits.

Getting a quality religious tattoo design doesn't have to be hard anymore, so go ahead and get the original artwork and designs you have been looking for online.

Sexy Tattoo Ideas

When a female has decided to get a tattoo coping with the pain is the easy part, picking a design that will speak to her soul but also make her feel sexy is the real trick. Many woman have no idea what to get a tattoo of much less how getting the right tattoo design will positively effect there self esteem.

A classic tattoo idea is to tattoo tribal or flower designs along the lower back. Always a feminine spot to get a tattoo the lower back is probably the sexiest place a woman can get work done. Unlike other parts of the body where the subject matter must be considered,most tattoo designs no matter what the subject matter will look cute and girlish on the lower back.




A small symbol looks quite sexy peeking from the nape of a female's neck. A big part of the draw of female tattoos is only seeing part of the tattoo adding to the mystery of the design. This is exactly the case with neck tattoos. Chinese symbols often work well on the neck as do small religious symbols or a loved one's initials.







A more recent trend with female tattooing that proves to be quit sexy is tattooing the rib cage. Often you will find a small framed large breasted young lady with a large tattoo peeking from behind her bra strap under her arm. The mystery of the tattoo is truly the sexiest part and the allure of the design under the bra is intoxicating.

Dragon tattoos are a wildly popular choice of design, which isn't surprising when you consider the perfect combination of both beauty and beast these legendary mythological reptilian creatures possess.

Asian and European dragons are the most commonly portrayed tattoo designs we see today, images which are derived from various ancient folk traditions and mythologies dating as far back as 300 BC.

Enjoy this picture gallery of wonderful dragon tattoo ideas for you to ponder and contemplate before taking the next step.



Dragon tattoos are seen in a wide array of colors, including, red, blue, green, orange, purple and of course good ole black and grey is also quite common.



Dragon tattoos are often see alongside other designs such as swords, clouds, flames and animals such as big wild cats.



Popular locations for dragon artwork include the the chest and back area, these locations are great for very large and elaborate designs that may take multiple sessions to fully complete.

Pinup Girl Tattoos

3 Different Types

Pinup girl tattoos are awesome old school designs that can look great on both men and women. They usually are very colorful, medium to large designs that really pop out. They're incredibly sexy, in an old school kind of way.

Pinup girl tattoos were popular with sailors and have since been worn by many women symbolizing a sense of beauty, fun, and female strength.


There are different styles of pinup girls you can choose from. Here are 3 of the most common.

1. Straight up and down.

I call this style "straight up and down" simply because the design is of the girl standing straight, many times in high heels or on her tip toes, her backside facing forward and her head turned at top. These work great for the forearms and calves.

2. Curvy.

The curvy pinups will have more shape to them. Sometimes the arms will be raised and hands clenched behind the head while the body curves. Sometimes the girl will be kneeling. There's usually a twist involved, or a pronunciation of certain body parts like the hips and breasts. These are great for the upper arms, shoulders, and back.

3. Legs, legs, legs!

One of my favorite pinup girl tattoos are one's which emphasize the legs. They will be either high kicking in the air while the girl is seated or lying down, or the legs will be crossed while seated. There are other variations, but the legs always seem to be the emphasis of the tattoo. These can work great on the inside of the upper arm, upper chest and thigh areas.
