Don’t be a freebie seeker.
Chuan showed me the error of my ways so to speak, and made me realize that “free” and “unique” do not go hand in hand. Spending a tad amount of cash can really go a long way in helping you secure a design that will be a part of your body for the rest of your life. You wouldn’t want to fork out your hard-earned bucks for a laser surgery or cover-ups, right? Of course not! You’re better off spending the extra dough on a large pizza (sorry, can’t resist the pun) with all the trimmings to celebrate the end of your search for unique Libra tattoos.
Don’t spend too much
While it’s important to spend a little bit of cash in order to get top quality designs, it’s also important that you do not fork out more than what is necessary in light of the abysmal state of the current global economy, and the large number of paid tattoo gallery sites that charge a fee per design. Decent gallery sites always strive to provide value by constantly updating their databases with original creations for a low one-time price. This means that you can print out as many unique Libra tattoo designs as you like and bring them to your favorite tattoo shop or artist for further action. I don’t believe in paying 10 to 20 dollars for a mere design, and you should feel the same way too.
Avoid Google Image Search
Remember, the key word here is: UNIQUE. Refrain from using Google Image Search function unless you love being bombarded with designs that are so devoid of originality.
Reputable Online Galleries and Tattoo Magazines Can Make Things Easy For You
Online galleries like Tattoo Me Now and Chopper Tattoo have done a great job of furnishing tattoo enthusiasts worldwide with thousands of high quality, printable tattoo flashes. The former allows you the option of combining two or more tattoos into one design so you won’t be terribly hard-pressed to come up with some unique Libra tattoos that’ll make heads turn.
My buddy Chuan opined that tattoo magazines are the best for sourcing tattoo ideas. Although I prefer scouring online galleries, I do agree that you can easily find inspiration from looking at photos in tattoo magazines such as Skin and Ink, Tattoo Review, and Inked. These magazines contain a truckload of wild designs to help jump start your creative juice so don’t be surprised if you end up getting flooded with tons of ideas for creating unique Libra tattoos.

Harley Davidson Tattoos for Girls
Tattoos have long been used around the world for beauty, identification, cosmetics, and spiritual reasons. They are made by inserting pigment into the skin. There is evidence that tattooing has been around since Neolithic times. They have served a variety of purposes since then depending on the culture and time period.
In recent years, tattoos have become more popular in North America, Europe, and Japan. Increasingly, people trained in the fine arts have been entering the industry, bringing unique designs to tattoo shops around the world.
Temporary tattoos, including ones with a Harley design, have also increased in popularity. Some temporary tattoos last for several months or years. Others fade or wash out more quickly in a matter of days. These types of tattoos are fun for younger individuals, those who aren't sure they want the permanence of a regular tattoo, or for special events.
Finding a tattoo pattern for your new tattoo can be challenging or you may already have an idea of what you want, making the task much easier. Generally, deciding on what you want tattooed and where you're going to place it can take longer than actually finding a tattoo you like. You can search many sites online for design ideas. Look under topics like Harley Davidson tattoos, motorcycle tattoos, or biker tattoos and you'll find many designs on this theme.
You may find that you like design elements from a particular tattoo but want the overall appearance to be slightly different. In this case, talk to a tattoo artist who may be able to customize the look for you. For example, maybe you love the Harley Davidson logo but want to have flames or flowers swirling around it. A tattoo artist may be able to create the look you want.
You want to be sure that you love the final design since you'll have a permanent reminder of it. Take your time in deciding on the tattoo design that you want and look through as many examples of the theme you want as you can find for ideas.
Harley Davidson tattoos make a great choice for those who embrace the biking culture or who own their own Harley. Think about the instant recognition that the logo gets, showing off your own bike, or creating a one of a kind look that incorporates the logo or other related items. Once you've got it, show it off at tattoo contests during events like the Harley Rendezvous Classic or Sturgis Bike Rally.

Cute Girl Tattoos
Where men like to have their tattoos on the upper arm, or chest, or shoulder, most girls are aware that what they’re doing has to work with the somewhat more revealing fashions. Thus, a girl needs to think about whether or not a tattoo will look good with a bikini, or a prom dress, or an evening gown. Likewise, girls tend to be a bit more careful about making sure that a tattoo is concealable with professional or casual attire.
So, when looking for a cute girl tattoo, the first thing to think of is "where to put it" – on the back, between the shoulder blades is a common place, as is a circle around the upper arm, or a circle around a wrist or ankle. Another popular place is at the small of the back, right over the crease of the buttocks, because it can be hidden with a modest swim suit – or shown off with a low cut one.
Places to avoid getting a tattoo are on the face, or on the breast, or in between your breasts – the face is a fairly obvious place to avoid a tattoo, just because of the pain and difficulty concealing it. The upper chest is a bit less obviously a "bad place", however, it runs the risk of spoiling the tattoo because that skin shifts and stretches over time, and it makes it awkward to wear anything low cut.
As to what qualifies as a cute girl tattoo, there’s a wide range of options; everything from the now cliché’d "circle of thorns" to roses to butterflies. Pick an image that you’re going to find enjoyable and meaningful for years to come. When you’re getting the work done, be sure to ask to see the health inspector certification. A good tattoo parlor should be as clean as an operating room.

Physchology and Tattoos
Most who decide to look into the psychology of those with tattoos seem to associate them as criminals and study them like they are common rats in the cage. Contrary to this opinion that many experts have, those who have tattoos aren’t in any type of cage. Instead, they are out there expressing their freedom. Whether they are going by what they believe, showing that they belong to a certain group or clan, or paying homage to the dearly departed – there are always meanings behind tattoos.
The psychologist who studies those with tattoos will normally try to get into their frame of mind, which is hard to do. For hundreds of years tattoos have always been a question from a psychological standpoint, with most people associating tattoos in the past with criminals. Even though criminals may have tattoos, there are just as many if not more people out there who are some of the friendliest people in the world who have them as well.
To look at tattoos from a psychological standpoint can sometimes be hypocritical. Although those who don’t have tattoos will try and figure out why someone would want them, it can still be considered a psychological point of view. Those who have tattoos had a reason for getting them, or they wouldn’t have got them in the first place.
No matter where you look these days it’s a common thing to see someone with at least one tattoo. This doesn’t mean that society is dwindling in any way, nor does it mean that mankind is becoming a bunch of clones following after one leader. Tattoos have built there own reputation over the years, gaining in popularity. Over the years more and more people have decided to get them – which only goes to show the phenomenon that is tattoos.
When you decide to look at the psychology of tattoos, you must first understand some of the meanings. A tattoo can tell you a lot about the individual and his past. Although some tattoos may be a bit frightening, that individual may have got the tattoos in his past and turn out to be nothing like that now. Like others out there – the tattoos that were obtained in the past may be left as a reminder for the future.
