When it comes to tattoo designs, the sky is the limit. People can get anything their heart desires. All that limits them is literally their imaginations. Tattoos are the ultimate makeover. You are literally placing a permanent piece of art on your body, and you can have as many as you like, in any location that you choose. No two people are tattooed exactly the same way.

The most favorable tattoos are ones with visual appeal and an interesting, intricate design. For example, a full-size Celtic cross over the neck or a large multicolored butterfly hovering over the lower back are stunning and beautiful choices.

Butterflies in flight, for instance, make great tattoos in any number of locations. Their size and shape are fairly scalable so you can fit them however you like, and they are very customizable in their shape and pattern. A butterfly in soft pastel colors, for example, makes a very different visual impact than a butterfly with dark contrasting hues.

Other popular tattoo options incorporate elements of a culture that you admire or have some special connection with. Celtic designs or Egyptian images and writing may be special enough to you to deserve a tattoo of honor. If you are religious or admire a given faith, you may want to get a certain prayer or scripture writing (perhaps in its original language) tattooed somewhere on your body. Signs of the Zodiac and Chinese symbols are other options for you.

Scary or occult images like skulls, skulls and crossbones, Death, dragons, or hearts and daggers are sometimes chosen by the punk rock type of girl. Images of barbed wire are often used alone or incorporated into a tattoo to make a similar "I don't care what you think of me" statement. It used to be that only men had these types of tattoos before but women are beginning to enter the arena on that side, too.

Women's tattoos can be featured almost anywhere on the female body, and often are. But popular areas include the lower back and the ankle. Tattoos on the lower back accentuate a woman's natural curves, and ankle tattoos can look fun, flirty, and feminine.

A colorful and meaningful tattoo is the best makeover you will ever get. It lasts forever, and you can be happy with the symbol that you've chosen to display your unique personality to the world.
