Tattoo and personality

How to you choose a tattoo design to represent your personality?

There’s isn’t a check list that you can follow or a reference book on tattoo that you can read. There isn’t a tattoo website that can tell you which tattoo design is right for you. You either know straight away what tattoo design is right for you or you need to think about it and get ideas.

If you are in the category of people who want a tattoo to represent who they are and what they like in life but are not sure about the design, you can follow a simple procedure to pick your tattoo design.

Are you religious?
You can have a look at various tattoo design representing your religion. If you are deeply religious and this means a lot to you, then you will be pleased with something that will show your faith to the world. It can be something obvious like a cross or it can be something a bit more unusual such as a few words from a prayer which means a lot to you.

Are you in love?
We also recommend avoiding tattooing the name of a girlfriend or boyfriend as relationships can break up and leave you with a tattoo you no longer want. But if you are in a long term relationship or if you want to illustrate your love for someone, then this can be a great way to be united for life. You need to remember that a tattoo is for life and it’s not the same with all relationships.

Are you a parent?
If you are a parent then your children certainly mean the world to you. You can create a great tattoo by playing with fonts and initials for first names or with the actual names if they are quite short. Be careful that long names such as Mary Elisabeth or Jean-Christophe don’t look so good on tattoos.

Do you have a pet?
If you love your pet and it’s a big part of your life, you can create a tattoo with a picture or a name.

Do you love your job?
If you have a trade which can be associated to a symbol, you can show the world who you are. A knife and fork for a chef, a knife for a butcher, a feather for a writer, a paint brush for an artist…. The list of trade tattoos is very long! Or a great tattoo for a cupcake decorator!




What are you passionate about?
If your hobby is a big part of your life, go and show it to the world with a tattoo. But if you change your hobby quite often or if you are young, then avoid doing this. You might not be a fan of your electric guitar in 20 years!
