Dragonfly Tattoo Design
Want to get a tattoo, but prefer something small for your first foray into body art? There are lots of small tattoo designs that you can choose from, but the dragonfly tattoo is a favorite choice for many first timers. It’s a classic design that won’t take up much space on your body, but that will always get you plenty of compliments!
Most dragonfly tattoo designs are small enough that you can have them tattooed on your ankle, wrist, or foot. You can also integrate dragonflies with other design elements to create a larger piece – there are even full back designs that use dragonflies extensively. Most people stick with the smaller designs, though… they’re easy to cover up when necessary, but colorful enough that they attract plenty of attention!
It’s easy to get dragonfly tattoo ideas by going into a tattoo parlor ans asking to see flash designs. You can also get lots of ideas online – you’ll find a plethora of great designs by talented artists from all over the world! Of course, you can always draft your own dragonfly tattoo ideas to give to your tattoo artist, so that you can be sure of getting a truly unique piece of body art.
One thing many people worry about is how they will build on a small dragonfly tattoo if they decide they want a larger tattoo later on. Fortunately, it’s easy for a tattoo artist to work around an existing dragonfly tattoo – he or she can create a custom design that seamlessly integrates your dragonfly – no one will ever be able to tell that part of the design was created “on the fly”!

Scorpion Tattoo Design
If you want a tattoo design that is unabashedly masculine, you can’t go wrong with a scorpion tattoo. In real life, scorpions are quite small and don’t attack unless forced… but they’re perceived as being quite threatening. Getting a tattoo of a scorpion gives you a tough, rugged look that will definitely turn heads!
When choosing a scorpion tattoo design, think about how you want people to perceive your tattoo. Scorpion tattoos have been around for quite a while, so you could go for an old school classic black design. If you want something a bit more modern, there are plenty of creative designs available.
Another creative way to modernize your scorpion tattoo design is by creating a scorpion tribal tattoo. You could use a scorpion as part of a tribal design, or you could even create the scorpion itself from thick, flowing tribal patterns. Either way, you’ll end up with a tattoo that has a stark, edgy look that will be instantly noticed!
One caution about getting tattoos of scorpions, though – people who don’t know much about tattoos tend to associate scorpion tattoos with prisons and gangs. This misconception might cause you some problems, so be careful who you let see your tattoo. Having a scorpion tattoo exposed when you go in for a job interview, for example, could end up costing you a career opportunity – a high price to pay for personal expression.
