While we work to write about tattoo flash and tattoo designs, our biggest focus and suggestion to you will be this:

Find a great tattoo artist in your town and work with her or him to get your dream custom tattoo

Yes, there are some good tattoo flash sites on the web and everybody knows you can download oodles of free flash online – but ultimately, the relationship with you and your artist will be the ultimate deciding factor. Wouldn’t you rather have a custom tattoo design that matches your unique personality? Probably, yes. By the way, we reveal 2 great ways to find local artists just below.

Recently, while talking with a respected tattoo artist, he explained that most of the time, he re-does any tattoo flash that has come in from the net. The reason for this? There are a few:

  • Who wants a tattoo that has been inked on numerous bodies around the world?
  • Does this flash really represent the personality
  • The tattoo flash quality is sub-par at best

Tattoo removal is both an expensive and painful proposition. Don’t get a tattoo unless you will love the art on your body for the rest of your life.

We researched more on this question of how to find a tattoo artist. While doing so, we came across what we feel is one of the better tattoo sites online. Why?

Because real tattoo artists are involved.

Basically, here is how it works:

1) You explain your tattoo design idea
2) You get at least 10 custom tattoo designs from real world-class tattoo artists
3) You select your favorite Tattoo art

Once that is done, you pay the artist a small fee and he or she will send you the tattoo art work and, this is key, the matching stencil. When you get it, just take it to your local tattoo parlor and get inked!

Now you will know, this is a piece I can live with – always.

Very cool indeed.

As promised, here are those two places you can find your next tattoo artist. Please let us know about your new tat, ok? :)

Tattoos are getting more and more popular in almost all parts of the world these days and flower tattoos are no exception. You may be looking for one. The reasons are many and varied. Once you see a friend or close relative donning a beautiful flower tattoo you may have to get one yourself.

This article briefly touches upon ways and meanings of flower tattoos, their usage and where you can find flower tattoo flash designs.

Head to your local Tattoo Parlor

The tattoo parlors, of course, are a great place to find flower tattoo flash and flower tattoo designs. Various professionals are available with their expertise – all one has to do is to go to the parlor, visit an artist and select a suitable match.

Try eBay

Ebay? Yep. Believe it or not, people are finding flower tattoo flash sheets and designs on eBay every day. Simply go to there and type “tattoo flash flower” in the search box and take a look.

Search the Internet

The Internet is also a great way to find a suitable flower tattoo. If not at least a few ideas. Look for Tattoo Membership sites offering quality tattoo flash and designs in every imaginable flower style. These membership sites have excellent resources and often out-do any freebies you will find online.

Flower tattoos have symbolic significance for many wearers. This could be out of conservative beliefs, or out of abundant popularity from the perpetrators of the tattoo trade.  Here are some accepted meanings for various flowers:

  • Red roses tattoos: Love, passion or if wilted, loss or separation of a loved one
  • Lily tattoos: can mean purity if it is white. But if it’s orange, it can mean strong dislike or hatred
  • Cherry Blossom tattoos: Can mean beauty or a symbol of love
  • Daisy flower tattoos: Innocence. Loyalty in a relationship. Very feminine
  • Lotus tattoos: Spiritual awakening and purity in the depths of a dirty social background
  • Sunflower tattoos: Can mean Loyalty and/or Adoration

Most times, a tattoo artist will advise as to which part of the body should display the tattoo, which flower should be tattooed and so on.  So the impact of having a particular flower tattoo should be examined thoroughly before the inking begins. Each flower has significance of its own, then there is the question of which part of the body you would like to decorate?
