One of the most difficult tattoos to design is “The Fairy”. Since fairies can express such a wide range of emotions from the “Cute Fairy” to the sensual vixen, it can take a little time to find the perfect one for your new tattoo. As a result, many who search for the perfect fairy tattoo image are frustrated by the lack of quality and original images. I’ve found that you can save yourself time, energy and money if you follow a few quick tips:
Tip #1: Do Your Homework
Start with the Yellow Pages and locate the tattoo parlors in your area. Before you jump in the car to visit the parlor - ask them if they have a book
Tip #2: Ask To See The Portfolio
A Tattoo artists portfolio is just like a job seekers resume. If you are looking for an artist the specializes in fairy tattoos - ask the artist at the parlor to show you their fairy portfolio. I also suggest that you ask questions about the designs that stand out to you. Give the artist the chance to share their opinion on what makes a unique fairy tattoo. Remember that artists have different specialties.
In the larger Tattoo parlors, you will find artists who specialize in color fairy tattoos and others who are better at black and white sketch tattoos. Make sure that you find the artist that is best suited for the tattoo you have in mind.
Tip #3: Custom or Not?
Their are two options for getting that unique cute fairy tattoo design. Getting a custom fairy tattoo means that you will allow the artist to design an original image. While a custom tattoo will cost more, you will be satisfied that you are getting an original design. You should be prepared to spend some time with the artist to refine your design until it suits your taste.
On the other hand, you can take the cheaper and quicker route and pick a design from the Tattoo Parlor Book. If you decide on this option, you will want to make sure that you look through a wide variety of fairy tattoo images. If your local parlor doesn’t have a wide selection, move on to another parlor that has a larger book of stock images. To save time, you can search the Web for Fairy Tattoo images. Just remember that you get what you pay for on the web. Free tattoo design sites may not offer original images or clear crisp pictures that can be reproduced at the Tattoo Parlor.
Insider Tip:
Most people overlook the fact that a cute fairy tattoo can be created from a well done Angel image. So as you search online for a fairy tattoo design - keep your eyes open for angel images that are close to your intended design. A good tattoo artist can take your angel image (make sure its a good quality image) and transform it into a unique fairy image.
Take your time and do your homework and you can be confident that you are getting the best tattoo design that you will be proud to wear (and show off) for a lifetime.
