Tatum Tyler asked:




Friendship tattoos are a very volatile subject. If you check any forum you will see someone getting bashed for the idea of getting friendship tattoos. The concern is similar to love tattoos. A few years down the road you might be arguing over a man or something even more trivial and not want anything to do with that person on your body.

If you can think of the friendship tattoos as signifying a stage in your life and even if you’re no longer friends it will still be meaningful, then you should get it. It can be easy to get a unique tattoo if you put your heads together and use your imagination. Think of something that is symbolic to all of you, perhaps something intertwined like hearts or rings or flowers. One suggestion is getting the same tattoo in the same place but change the color on each of you. You can each pick your favorite flower and tattoo the three designs together.

You can find lots of ideas by browsing an online tattoo gallery. There are thousands of designs to look through to get your imagination running. When you join a membership gallery, you have unlimited access to thousands of designs. You can print as many designs as you want to come up with ideas for your friendship tattoos. For the cost of downloading two designs from other pay as you go sites, you can print off unlimited designs and then work your favorite parts into a design that everyone will love.

If you know where you want to place your friendship tattoos that can help you decide the type of tattoo you get. As you browse the online gallery, you can search on the body part and see what kinds of tattoos look best on that part. Whatever you decide on, you do want to keep in mind how you will feel about it twenty years down the road.

Hawaiian flower tattoos

by admin on February 7, 2010

Hawaiian flower tattoos are exotic and beautiful and not as cliché as rose or lilies. They can be an expression of one’s heritage if he or she is originally from the island. Or it can also be a representation of one’s unforgettable moments spent in Hawaii; the island being considered as a perfect getaway and vacation spot because of its beaches, fresh air and natural scenery. While some have significant meaning attached to the design, a lot of enthusiasts also choose this theme just for its sheer beauty and artistic appeal.

The most popular Hawaiian flowers are hibiscus, plumeria and orchid. Each flower has its own symbolism and individual characteristics. Hibiscus stands for delicate beauty as the bloom of the flowers are open for just a short period everyday. Hibiscus, in fact, has been called “Flower-on-an-hour”. Plumeria is a flower commonly used as tattoo designs along side hibiscus as if to complete the whole Hawaiian flower theme. In the island, it is the flower traditionally used as a lei, it will always say “Aloha”. Orchid is also prominent in Hawaiian and used as lei too, just like plumeria. It can stand for a lot of things like love, beauty, wisdom, and thoughtfulness.

Hawaiian flower tattoos can be seen incorporated with other imagery that the island is known for like sea turtles, mountains, surfboard and tiki. They are best executed on the body in full color to make them more visually appealing. They are also usually seen in a tribal style – with thick black lines and little accent of color or detail. They would look good as sleeve tattoos, or on the foot, shoulder blade, back, rib cage and lower back.
