Unique Tattoo Ideas: If you are thinking of getting a tattoo soon it is recommended that you do not rush out to your local tattoo parlor and select a common tattoo that is on display in the shop. Why settle for a common tattoo when you can have a very unique one that draws attention everywhere you go?

Here are some tattoo ideas that can make your tattoo stand out from the crowd.
Airbrush tattoos: An airbrush tattoo is a temporary tattoo that is painted on the skin using a CO@ sprayer. The tattoo artist places a stencil on your body then sprays a special formulated paint over the stencil. The process gives you a very realistic tattoo that looks very much like a permanent tattoo and the whole process only takes a few minutes to complete.
The Process: First the skin is cleaned with alcohol to make sure it is clean, then the stencil is placed on your body and the artist applies the first layer of paint. If your tattoo will have many colors the process must be repeated for each color. The more colors the more time it will take to finish the airbrush tattoo. When the artist is finished he/she will remove any overspray then shake some talc powder on top of the tattoo design to make it dry faster. Airbrush tattoos usually last for one or two weeks depending on how much exposure they have to soap and water when you shower or go swimming so it is great way to get used to wearing a tattoo.
Airbrush tattoos are usually sold at beach resorts, carnivals, and other tourists areas that draw large crowds. You may even be able to find a local artist who holds airbrush tattoo home parties. Just check your local yellow pages under the tattoo section.
Tattoo Flash: A flash tattoo is a special piece of artwork that is inked onto to your body. The design is first printed or drawn on a piece of paper then reproduced by the artist to match the drawing. Flash tattoos do not take much time to apply and many tattoo artists specialize in and display them in their shop. They are also less expensive than a regular tattoo.
A good place to find many flash tattoo designs is in the “Worlds Largest Tattoo Collection” which is located here. http://www.howtotattoovideos.com/wltc/index.html.
Flash tattoo symbols and ideas:
Anchor: Many young sailors would get an anchor tattoo after their first crossing of the Atlantic ocean to show others they were no longer novice sailors.
Barbed Wire: The barbed wire flash tattoo originated in prisons and is usually worn as an armband.
Heart flash tattoos: It is believed that the idea of wearing a heart tattoo originated with servicemen in World War Two who wore them to remember their loved ones and what they were fighting for.
Dragon tattoo ideas: Dragons are popular in the Chinese culture and are often portrayed as having supernatural powers. Sometimes the dragon is a symbol of the four elements air, water, earth, and fire.
