Friendship Tattoos

Remember in the past, when people would demonstrate their love for one another with a high five or perhaps a friendship bracelet? Well those days are history and its becoming increasingly more popular to showcase you're friendship with a tattoo design.

Friendship tattoos are when two or more pals get the exact same design, often in the very same location on each others body. And while this practice is quite clever, we've noticed that a few people are taking this idea one step further and selecting "half" designs, which combined to form one completetattoo.

Checkout this neat picture gallery of some superb ideas for your very own piece of artwork.



Friendship tattoos aren't just for the ladies, in fact they are quite common among guys, as well as boyfriend and girlfriend, however with any relationship artwork you are most certainly treading on dangerous grounds, with the possibility of a breakup.



It seems like some of the most popular areas of the body for these tattoos include the ankle, foot and wrist, followed by the forearm area.



Like with any body art, its essential to fully think though the design and location, plus when you're dealing with a possible friendshiptattoo , you better make darn sure that the partnership is pure and true, because the last thing you want is a constant reminder of some evildoer stamped on your body...

Flower Tattoos

arching for a stunningly beautiful tattoo idea, or perhaps looking for a fabulous design to complement an existing art piece? Well its hard to go wrong with an elegantly placed flower tattoo.

Flower tattoos are probably the singles most common design among women, and with so many options to choose from, it can be difficult deciding which one is the best match for you.

With that being said, some of the most popular flower tattoos include the rose, lily, lotus, plus the beautiful array of Hawaiian species such as the orchid, anthurium and hibiscus are beloved by many art and beauty enthusiasts. Enjoy this picture gallery of helpful ideas.



More often than not we see lovely stand alone designs which are completely beautiful, however we personally love a colorful mixture of perhaps lilies, a rose and a smattering of daisies would be very appealing.



As for body location of flower tattoos, pretty much anything goes, however we love the shoulder artwork, both the upper arm and back shoulder area are excellent locations. Plus the ankle or foot is always a cute spot and the hip is becoming increasingly popular as well.



Flowers in general are said to symbolize peace, happiness and a overall sense of enlightenment, which stems from not only their pleasant appearance, but also the aroma they produce.

Unfortunately they haven't developed scented tattoos just yet, but its surly right around the corner...

Flag Tattoos

tsurprisingly, flags of all countries are extremely popular among tattoo enthusiasts, especially those who have a true passion for patriotism.

There are plenty of cool tattoos that go hand in hand with flag artwork, including eagles for America, clovers for Ireland and crosses for Scotland, plus cross designs are great additions to just about any flag tattoo.

Another trend that has become quite popular is the 3D flag ripping through flesh effect, which is rather common with a host of different artwork ideas. Enjoy the picture gallery below.



As you can see, the upper arm is one of the most requested locations for many of these designs, followed by the back and chest for larger masterpieces.



Besides the representation of your country of choice, we often see a variety of other culture inspired flag tattoos, such as military, religious and pirate designs, just to name a few.



Flag tattoos aren't always presented in a patriotic or flattering fashion, from time to time we'll see burning and torn designs that portray a sense of unrest rebellion or perhaps simply satirical rubbish. But to each his own, i suppose.

Fairy Tattoos

iries are small and often pleasant mythical creatures which are generally described as being human in appearance and having magical powers. Folklore has associated the word "Fairy" with other beings such as the Sprite, Pixie and Elf.

Fairy tattoos are excellent stand alone works of art, however many people like to combine such items as mushrooms, flowers, leaves and other mythical creatures like dragons and unicorns to form a masterpiece of mythical beauty.

Get a load of this brilliant picture gallery of top quality Fairy tattoos, which will surely spark up some ideas for a wonderful design of your very own.



Fairy tattoos come in a very broad range of artwork designs, ranging from stunningly angelic themes to dark and morbid with a flair of macabre mixed in, and everything in between.



Popular locations for fairy tattoos include the lower back, upper back, shoulders and hip area for smaller designs, such as a little standalone Tinkerbell creation.



These cute little Fairy tattoos are seen in just about every color combination under the sun, however some of the most popular colors include blue, purple, green, red and violet. |

Eye Tattoos

earching for a scary and down right eerie tattoo? Well have you ever considered getting an eye ball design? These eye tattoos are some of the creepiest designs we've ever see, with most of the artwork based on the human eye, we also see quite a few animal optics from time to time, like the cat and reptile in the picture gallery below.

As if these tattoos weren't already strange enough, some folks like to take it a step further and compliment their ink with some blood, a freaky hand or other macabre ideas.


As you can see the back and back of the head is two of the most popular locations for eye tattoos, and i can see why, they look beyond creepy on those areas of the body.



Another rather common tattoo design is the ancient Egyptian symbol of protection and royal power, known as the eye of horus. Said to bring fourth protection and prosperity among other things.



One of the most underrated tattoo ideas has to be the feline eyes, and unlike humans, feline peepers are very attractive and quite sexy, perhaps an excellent idea for the ladies.
