Tattoos come in all sorts of sizes and styles. The reasons why people get tattoos may be wide-ranging, but the styles that stand out remain the same. These designs often end up in a tattoo artist’s most requested stack. Here, in no particular rank, as some of the most highly requested tattoo designs nowadaysAs a side note, my favorite tattoo book is Chooper Tattoo.
Tribal – In recent history, this has turned out to be one of the most requested concepts. Tribal designs obtain their inspiration from the tattoo styles used by aboriginal tribes from all over the world. Of all tribal tattoo concepts, Maori inspired types seem to be the most trendy. I have found a several good Maori designs in Tattoo Fever Ultimate Tattoo Design recently too.
Kanji – These are tattoos done in Chinese typescript. This is most common with people getting their first tattoos. Kanji tattoos are usually translations of a phrase, a name, or a adage. Solo symbols such as life, breath, fire, etc. are also popular.
Stars – For a few reasons, stars are a very popular choice when it comes to tattoo design. It’s popularity may be owning to the fact that the sign is simple, yet can hold a lot of meaning. Of all, it seems that nautical stars are highly favored. Women, however, seem to choose star clusters instead of nautical stars.
Roses and Hearts – Roses particularly are the most requested flower styles.. In the same degree of popularity as the rose is the heart. Often, these two are used jointly.
Barbwire – This is perhaps the most trendy of all band tattoos. They are often requested on the wrists, the arms, the legs or the ankle. These styles also accent or border more elaborate tattoos.
Butterfly – This is especially trendy with girls. This is usually placed on an unseen part of the body – the nape, the lower back, or someplace obscure. Flowers and fairies are popular amongst girls too, although, these two are a favorite of men as well.
Celtic styles and Crosses – These styles are trendy because of their intricateness. Crosses, despite the design, are trendy for their religious symbols.
Tattoo styles in receipt of an honorable mention include the constantly trendy name tattoos – be it a name of a loved one or a stranger, the latter most usually a result of a drunken night out. Pistols and fire also get a honorable mention so do fish, dragons, dolphins, suns, pin-up girls, crowns, the eagle, and wings. Angels and other religious and cultural symbols as well as the Om and the Ankh are also popular tattoo designs.
Although I am a big tattoo fan I always advise against people running into tattoo parlor and demanding tattoo me now, as this can lead to problems later when you regret the design and it is too late. So make sure you get it right!
