To start off you will need to decide on what kind of tattoo you want . There are endless tattoo design categories , a few of these include :
Celtic , Tribal , Old School , New School , Biomechanical , etc. Finding the perfect tattoo design is much easier if you know which particular style you want.
Once you have decided on which style of tattoo you would like to get , your next step is to find some designs. To find free designs for a specific tattoo , I recommend logging on to a website such as freetattoodesigns.org or www.tattoospot.com, such websites allow you to browse through thousands of tattoo designs and eventually find the tat that is right for you.
Another great way to find free tattoo designs is by using Google images or Yahoo images. Simply log on to the Google Images main website , enter the style of tattoo you want , and view the thousands of designs in your results.
Once you have decided on a design simply print it up and take it into your local tattoo parlor.
Note :If you don't find the design you want online you can always draw one up yourself or request the tattoo artist to design one for you . Not all tattoo artists do this however it is not uncommon.
Refer to my resources section below for more websites that offer free tattoo designs.
