Whether it’s a favourite animal, gorgeous design, or homage, you should feel confident that your tattoo is the right thing for you. You can seek inspiration from photographs, aesthetics that strike you, or your own imagination.
Along with knowing what you want, you should also have an idea of where and how big you want your tattoo to be before you move much further on with the process.
For me, the process of settling on a tattoo has lasted between a couple of months and several years. Nearly three years ago, one my of favourite songs gave me the idea for my newest tattoo, and after a long time spent stewing on it, I went in for a parachute. I decided to put it on my left forearm because it was important to me that I’m able to see it and remember what I’m trying to say to and about myself with it.
