Talk to any "ink head" - that is, tattoo aficionado - and you'll find the same subject topping the conversation. How long tattoo inks last for, and what can be done to make sure they last as long as possible. Check out any new tattoo, compare it to one that is two or three years old, and you'll instantly see what is meant here. Tattoo ink fades, and the worse the quality of the ink the quicker that happens.
Look at a new tat on the body of a man or woman who has had previous work done in the past. The new tattoo is bright and bold next to the less obtrusive colours of the older images. The grail quest of the tattooist's art is to find those elusive tattoo inks that really work - the ones that hold their richness, depth and colour through years of sun, wind, rain and of course personal hygiene routines.
There are ways to ensure that tattoo ink and the tattoos it makes doesn't, or don't, fade with time: avoiding direct exposure to sunlight until a tattoo is well and truly "worn in", for example; or not using abrasive soaps or household cleaners. The best way, though, by far the best way, is to check that the inks being used in the first place are of the best possible quality - and the easiest way to do that is by sourcing tattoo inks from quality suppliers.
Fortunately, the shrinking world (brought close together by the invisible strands and byways of cyberspace) has made sourcing good quality anything pretty easy - and tattooist's inks are no exception. UK based sites like Tattoo Kit have excellent trade links with the world's best brand names and most prominent suppliers of ink. UK tattooists and ink heads can now get their hands on the real deal, imported from Japan and the US - ensuring that every kind of tattoo, from the old style Oriental look tats to modern South America flavoured images (skulls and flowers are big right now, done large and in vivid colours) is done with the proper tattoo inks.
In every case, a tattoo has a variety of ink it would be done best in. Older style inks are gentler, less boldly coloured but full of a soft depth. This kind of ink is best for the traditional tattoo designs first popularised by soldiers and sailors returning from World War postings in Asia and the Orient. Modern tattoo designs, which tend to have their roots more in mainstream underground music forms like rockabilly, and the Latin influenced rock music found on the West coast of the US, use brighter inks - larger areas of solid colour filled with blazing oranges and deep blues. The tattoo inks required for this kind of image are completely different - the kind of thing first used by the Californian chopper guru most famous for his 1980s skate and hot rod designs.
Source the right inks and one's tattoo will stay bright and clear forever. Just make sure the equipment matches the quality of the ink.

But not to forget that becoming a butterfly means it came from a caterpillar which is ugly and icky. But, like a woman, who blooms to be a beautiful being when the time is right the butterfly will do the same. It is probably why a lot of women prefer butterfly tattoos because they feel a certain kind of connection with it.
In fact, butterfly tattoos are so rampant in celebrities, even the normal average Jane would like to have one just so they can connect with their idols.
Sexy Butterfly Tattoos
There are lots of places where those tattoos can be put. It is mostly best by the ankle, if you prefer a teeny weenie Butterfly; by the lower back – which by the way provides a smooth base for that kind of tattoo and the most perfect placement – if you ask Julia Roberts who has one right at that spot; and by the shoulder if you are planning a medium to large butterfly design. For Drew Barrymore, the former Guess model and perhaps the celebrity who made the butterfly tattoo famous, she had it printed on her navel area which is daring but beautiful on her.
For dominant women, like Drew and Olivia Wilde, who are not afraid of their womanhood, they place their butterfly tattoos on their stomach area, upper arms for Olivia, calves, thighs or just about anywhere else. Britney Spears has an Itsy Bitsy butterfly tattoo on her foot but it looks good on her, anyway, a frequent place for a butterfly tattoo. Still, you can beat Julia, Drew, Olivia and Britney. Pick your own tattoo design and make it yours alone.

Have you been finding it difficult to zero in on just the right tattoo design? If so, that's probably a good thing. Because tattoos are permanent, they are the kind of thing you should consider carefully. You should look ate several different design portfolios to get ideas. Also, talk to the tattoo artist to see what other ideas they can suggest.
Regardless of what anybody has to say about what design you should get, you are the one that will be having ink embedded in your skin with a tattoo gun, so it's ultimately up to you. You can still turn to others for suggestions, and there's nothing wrong with getting plenty of ideas, but it will be up to you to refine the list of tattoo design choices before settling on the final one.
Ideas for Men's and Women's Tattoo Designs
It only makes sense that men and women would find different designs more appealing. In general, men will prefer designs that highlight their masculinity, while women will prefer more feminine designs; there are, of course, always exceptions. Think of tattoos as a way of self-expression and these general choices are logical.
A word of caution is in order before we look at some ideas for tattoo designs: No matter how much you are in love, no matter how convince you are that it's a good idea, do your best to resist the temptation to get your partner's name tattooed on your body. Life is funny, and far too many people have found themselves going through a break up only to have the name as a constant reminder of what used to be.
You should be well aware that there are no universal designs for men or women, as each tattoo is based on many different individual factors. While tattoos are a personal decision, one of the factors that goes into choosing one is gender. Even if the final design doesn't seem to coincide with one's gender, it will usually be one of the criteria used in selecting a tattoo (even if it's done at a subconscious level). Even more important is one's taste and style.
