10 Original Tattoo Ideas

You're thinking of getting some ink, well here are ten original tattoo ideas that may help you on your journey to the perfect piece of body art. All tattoo ideas are born out of someone's ability to be creative. Tattoo ideas are born out of the want of an individual to represent something important in a visual way on their body. Though tattoo ideas and art were considered taboo not too long ago, as of 2010 you see more and more people with ink. So, if you're ready to do it, here are some original tattoo ideas for you to consider.

1. A picture of an important person. Get a picture of an important person tattooed in a cool place on your body. It could be a picture of a deceased love one. It could be a picture of your kids. Either way, tattoo artists can handle the detail needed to draw out a picture such as this.
2. If you're into comics. Tattoo a mural of your favorite super hero smack dab on your back. You wouldn't even have to add color to it. Unless, of course you want to. Just make sure you choose a cool super hero. Ant Man sucks.
3. Lyrics. Do you have a song that really affected you? Take your favorite phrases and have them tattooed to your arm. Just make sure you're not choosing some lyrics from "Sesame Street".
4. Chemical composition. Have an artist draw out the chemical bonds of your favorite vice of choice. For instance, if you like caffeine, have the tattoo artist tattoo the chemical bond of it somewhere on your body. No one has this.
5. For the fanatics. Why not slap a team logo on your arm. They're easy designs. A tattoo artist would have absolutely no trouble doing that for you. Just make sure you don't get a perennial loser tattooed to your arm. The Chicago Cubs would not be a good choice.
6. Animal tats. Come up with a unique way to put your favorite animal somewhere on your body. For instance, have the artist draw a scorpion on your back with the claws facing downwards towards your butt. Have him draw a tale that goes up and extends all the way down your arm to the wrist.
7. Musicians. Get some ink of your favorite musical cords printed somewhere on your body if you play the guitar. Or, you could get the stanza, treble clef combo with the notes inked to your skin. Either way, it would look pretty damn cool.
8. The religious folks. Get a fierce angel inked on you. Don't get some goofy picture of those baby like cherubs. Do some research. Angels are actually described as these powerful warriors with three sets of wings and heavy weaponry... depending on the class of angel. A tattoo artist could make a bad ass rendition of a warrior angel.
9. Original poetry. For you verbally creative cats, why not write out your own poetry and put it on display. The tattoo artist can help you come up with a cool way to display it. This could be a really cool concept if you think it out.
10. Original caricature. For you "former" taggers out there. Why not get either your tag name or your original caricature inked on you. All you have to do is show a tattoo artist a picture and they should be able to reproduce it. This is a really cool idea.
