If you plan to find a tattoo to put on your body as an expression of your individuality, why would you want a tattoo similar to someone else's? The best way to avoid this is to find a printable database online and print off a few designs you like and then have your artist custom make one for you.

Many people agree that you should be extremely careful using free databases that are available all over the internet. There are several reasons and here are a couple.

If the databases are free, they are most likely cheap pictures and poor quality designs. Also, since they are free it is much more likely that a lot of cheap people will have the exact same tattoo that you spent so much time searching for to be original.

It is important to invest a little money to find a tattoo with top quality artistic design, rather than getting something that you are embarrassed to show people for the rest of your life. You can sign up to unlimited online tattoo databases for $25-$50. This is where you find top quality unlimited designs to print off, that not a lot of people have seen. Compared to what you are paying your tattoo artist for tattooing and design this is peanuts, especially since you plan on having this for the rest of your life.

If the pictures online don't show exactly what you want, just take them to your artist to use them as guidelines and tell them what changes you want made to the original pictures. A real artist will welcome the challenge of a custom piece, and may charge you less with for design if he/ she has a template to work with. Copying someone else's tattoo is never a good idea.
