[/caption]Tattoo or body art has gained huge popularity over recent times. People of any age group and any social standing may be seen to be sporting tattoos. But they vary from person to person with respect of its designs. People sport tattoos depending on their social positioning and age group. The sported done by women are very different from that of men or hard core criminals! So the more the number of people do tattoo the more is the variety.
But instead of just going to a tattoo artist and get your tattoo done it is much better to go for something unique and ingenious. This not only distinguishes your tattoo from the others but also adds a new idea to the ever expanding realm of tattoo ideas. The tattoo that one wears reveals to an extent the personality of that particular person. So isn't it better to go for something that is unique rather than blindly copying others? As for example if one wants to tattoo a lion on his arm then he can directly draw that animal using colors as used in any other tattoo but instead of just doing this if he does the same tattoo of the animal by joining dots (just as we used to do in our first drawing classes!), that highlights the outline of it then it is not only unique but is also much more artistically appealing.

This type of fashion of tattooing names or inscribing any message on the body especially on the hands in Hindi, Arabic, Chinese or Japanese is ideal for people looking forward for something different since in most cases the messages are not similar and they bring out the personality of the bearer. A variant of this kind, the Japanese Kanji tattoo especially is very popular among the masses as it supposedly raises the cool quotient and also sends out a message.

[/caption]Other than this some of the tattoo ideas that have stood the test of time are the floral tattoos, the star and sun tattoos, the animal tattoos and last but not the least the tribal tattoos. Here, a few words are worth mentioning about the tribal tattoos.
Tribal tattoos have been in existence since time immemorial. It was believed by some tribes that tattooing initiates a person into adulthood. The tribal tattoos with their intricate black and sometimes white patterns that are now in practice may be a bit different from the authentic tribal tattoos owned by different tribes but nevertheless these neo tribal tattoos are as charming as their primitive counterparts.
