Chest Tattoos - 3 Things That Men and Women Need to Watch Out For

When men and women look for chest tattoos, many of them forget everything they know about quality artwork. They get so excited about choosing something that they end up settling on something that is trendy. The bad part of this is that the trendy stuff is usually the most generic artwork. The last thing you want is something generic, because chest tattoos are pretty visible when you want them to be.

Men and women need to look for three things when choosing designs. First of all, you need to be aware of the size of the tattoo you pick. You may think you like a big/small design right now, but how will you like if far into the future? Many people go way too big, because that's what they like at the time, but some of them really wish they would have went smaller a couple of years down the road. Always be 100% sure about the size of any chest tattoos you're thinking about getting.

Next, you need to be aware of the shading. Many men and women don't even think about this, yet it's one of the most crucial aspects of the design. 90% of people will pick chest tattoos that will look totally different once on their skin. This is especially true about the shading of the artwork you choose. You should always bring the design you like to a trusted artist and ask them how different the shading will look. They should easily be able to tell you and you can have the design reworked to your liking. This is crucial if you want a tat that you are completely satisfied with.

Last but not least, we come to the color. This will also look very different that what you see on paper, especially if you are going off of a flash design. While flash artwork looks very, very pretty on paper, it will always look different (and not in a good way) once on your body. Men and women need to know this, so that you're not shocked once you see the end result of any chest tattoos you get inked with. It's best to stay away from flash artwork all together, because most people end up shocked at the huge difference once it's on their skin.

Those three tips alone can help men and women pick chest tattoos that that will love for a long time to come.
