various designs can add your own stamp to the body art so you can make
your own statement.
Tribal Tattoos

were by far the most popular, coming in with approximately one third of
requests. In the past, tribal body art identified different tribes and
were very important to the identity of the tribe and the individual.
Today, tribal body art is an appealing fashion statement, that allow
people to show off their individuality combined with a bit of mystery.
These tats use aggressive dark lines in jagged symmetrical shapes and
are most common in black and skin tones but can also be infused with
color to brighten the overall look.
Stars
A symbol of protection and guidance. They are
popular because they can go anywhere on the body and can be any size
you want. They are also popular because they are timeless. Compass and
nautical stars were very popular amongst sailors as they relied on
stars to guide them on their journeys, so they used the tattoos as
luck. These days, the meaning of stars depends on the number of points
it has. The most popular places for the star designs are around the
shoulder, ankles and navel.
Angels

are popular because they are very symbolic, representing many values
such as peace, spirituality, and protection. Some of the more popular
tattoo designs relate to Religion and Spirituality (due to angels being
seen as the link between heaven and earth), Love, and the Struggle
between good and evil.
