Cool Designs Make Cool Tattoo Designs

Many tattoo enthusiasts have proudly displayed their cool tattoo designs to me soliciting my opinion. My thoughts are simply if you think it is cool, then it is in the category of cool tattoo designs. It does compel me to wonder though what is cool and what isn't, and where do cool tattoo designs come from?

Tattoos are a form of art so any style of art is cool to someone. Recently I was maneuvering my vehicle around a very busy section of my city when I got caught in a massive traffic jam. My mind wondered back to the question above, I don't know why but it did.

Looking around me I noticed very little nature, but there was some like trees, birds, squirrels and other natural beauty like trees, flowers and even insects. As I looked around a little smile adorned my face while I envisioned some really cool ideas for cool tattoo designs. Being a creative and imaginative person I began to envision how some of the natural resources around me could be amended to make beautiful art in the form of a tattoo. As these designs bounced around in my mind some unique meanings began to develop and I thought "this is really cool".

I then moved beyond nature to the beauty of the buildings surrounding me. Friends may say I am completely nuts but take the time to notice the fine designs all over the facade of these old structures. This is amazing architecture and simply some cool tattoo designs could come form this art. All around us are cool designs and they make cool tattoo designs.

On my way home I stopped at the Post Office and when I opened my box, out tumbled my new copy of the National Geographic. I stood there in the path of many other patrons as I leafed through the pages of this magazine and new cool designs jumped right off the pages at me. This magazine is full of amazing art, some ancient and some modern, most of which can be used to develop some really cool tattoo designs.

Combine the endless art surrounding us all with the professional knowledge of talented tattoo artists, and the experience of other tattoo enthusiasts and you will be on track to create some intensely meaningful and cool designs. I always take these cool designs back to my online gallery and forums to refine the piece before I have a cool tattoo design that jumps off my body which is really cool!
