It has been 8 months or so since my last tattoo. I'm getting that itch again, but I'm not ready for the bigger ones I have planned. What are the best we sites for tattoo ideas? I'm not wanting to copy, but to find some good inspiration.

    Your best bet is to work directly with your tattoo artist. Talk with them about what you want and have them design something. A good tattooist doesn't just copy things from the "Flash" book, but rather is an artist in their own right. If you both like what they design it's a win-win situation because you get the tattoo YOU want, and they take pride in applying THEIR art.

    I have a few that I have done this way, all from the same artist, and I love them all. Talking to him now about a large chest piece, but not sure if I am ready for the long multi-sessions that it would involve.

    I'm wanting to get a small one on my foot right above my pinkie toe, that way I can cover it or show it off if I want.

    I'm all about letting the tattoo artist design a custom piece (unless you are an artist yourself). Get ideas of what you'd like - I look at actual art, not tattoos for inspiration (I simply find it easier to get more ideas this way). Bring in some various ideas and let him/her do their thing.

    I've been wanting another one too, but I'm trying to save money and a tattoo just isn't in my budget anymore. Tumblr and Pinterest are good sites.

    I just a two tats a few months ago of my kids' feetprint at brith with their names underneath. I am definitely looking to go half sleeve to half sleeve across my back. I am think hitting my goal weight will be a good time to do that. What do people have? I am looking for some unique ideas. So far I have 5. I just like to hear what others have. Let me know!

    i take the opposite approach, i don't want a tattoo and then find something. i find/design something i want that makes me want a tattoo.

    I have not had that 'urge' lately. Especially if it itches for eight months! Think you might want to see a doctor or does it healo and then keep coming back?

    I'm going to half-sleeve my right arm. Some tribal design. Some personally drawn. But mostly, I'm gonna give the artist and idea and let him run with it.

    Going to get one of mine altered soon. By altered I mean cover up the part that has my ex's name on it. lol Probably going to have them brighten up some of the colors on the shamrock too.

    Triple QFT. I was pissed when I found out that a guy I used to work with copied my wrist tattoo.

    Best place for me for grabbing tattoo inspiration is probably tumblr (just search the tags); otherwise, look at shops in your local/surrounding area and find an artist you like. A lot of them have work they love that they are dying to put on someone.
