THE MEANING OF THE MOST POPULAR TATTOOS FOR MEN
The designs of most men's tattoos have their origins in designs that are more than a hundred years old. The most popular images for a long time remained ships, anchors, birds, flowers and crosses. Even today, the following symbols are invariably imprinted in every corner of the world:
- Death is constant, as are tattoos. A skull inscribed on the human body are a constant reminder of the fleeting nature of life.
- Cross. Symbolizes sacrifice and devotion. It is an easy way to tell others that you are a spiritual person, and a great way to dedicate your body as a temple to your god.
- Phoenix. These immortal birds represent eternal life and transformation. If life has subjected you to great adversity, the phoenix can be a symbol of your life and accomplishments.
- Star. A sign of success and dreams. A person with a star on their body is a goal-oriented and hardworking individual, an optimist in the highest degree.
- Dragon. Creatures of Eastern mythology express wisdom, while Western dragons express strength and courage. They are very spiritual creatures that symbolize strength of character.
Where to order a tattoo sketch
Wishing to save money, many people try to download drawings from the Internet and ask to repeat them. Some even bring pictures of some objects or people, but it is better to order a sketch in the same place where you will apply. The wizard knows in advance what techniques he owns and what he can transfer exactly. If you order a drawing from an ordinary artist or download it from photostocks, chances are it will look more clumsy in deed.
Partly it depends on impossibility of transferring halftones, and partly with the fact that the master for fear of losing the client won't admit that he hasn't applied this type of picture before. As a result, in the process, he begins to repeatedly redo the difficult areas. Just because of the latter option, people have to get a tattoo reduced or look for someone to change it.
If money is not enough, it is better to order a drawing not realistic or 3D, but to pick up a contour silhouette, pattern or inscription. Such sketches are good even for inexperienced masters. If the outline will be applied with errors, it is easier to refine it into another picture than to overlay a full color tattoo.
Before ordering a sketch, find a similar picture on the photostock or just on the internet, preferably already applied to the body and ask the master to show you a photo of his personal work in a similar style. Notice how clearly elaborated details and translucent areas. If you are satisfied with everything, move on to the discussion.
It is better to show examples in already printed outSo you can make corrections on the page, it's easier for the master to remember all the details and propose his variants. He can do small sketches on the image and show them at once.
BIRDS
The meaning of the symbolism of birds in tattoos depends on the specific species. For example, owls can mean wisdom, eagles - strength, and sparrows - freedom. Vultures, like skulls, symbolize the eternity of death and temporality of existence. Pigeons - the exact opposite: the embodiment of life, hope, eternal devotion and renewal.
Eagle .
The symbol of ferocity, freedom, strength and intelligence. No wonder this tattoo is so common among men. They represent achievement and determination, the desire to reach new heights.
Owls
Owls are known for their wisdom and are often depicted in folklore as wizards, magicians and teachers. In some cultures, the owl is a herald of impending death. An owl tattoo shows you are in harmony with the laws of nature and life. Creepy and awe-inspiring, the owl is the embodiment of the inner mind.

ANIMALS
CHOOSE A MASTER FOR YOUR TATTOO
Wolf
Many consider the wolf an evil creature. Ancient Christians considered the wolf a manifestation of Satan, a terrible omen. Today, this animal has come to be seen in a different light.
Wolves are strongly bonded to the family, mating with only one partner while the pair is alive. Only when they get together in a pack do they gain a territorial advantage. Wolves are very caring parents, their pups are raised by the whole pack. Thus, the wolf sketch tattoo for many becomes a symbol of strong family ties.

CHOOSING A PLACE FOR MEN'S TATTOOS
The most important thing is for you to feel comfortable with the design and its location on your body after the tattoo is completed. When considering different designs, think about what the tattoo means to you personally and imagine what it could mean to others.
The place for the tattoo should be chosen according to the degree of intimacy of the image, and whether it can be opened to prying eyes.
Breast
The area is not painful, as long as you don't hit the collarbones. Tattoo on the chest makes a man brutal. The area to work is large enough to embody a large sketch.
Legs
Today, interest in this area has increased. Feet are a great place to apply, especially if you want to stand out from the crowd.
Shoulder
The place is perfect for tribal elements, animal faces with expressive eyes, famous quotes, inspirational phrases and names. It is advisable to keep the muscles in shape so the image looks spectacular and sexy.
Back
An area for limitless flights of fancy. Even large images are easy to hide under office clothes, and in an informal setting you can show your individuality. Another advantage of the zone is that the pain will be minimal.
Arm
One of the least painless places on a man's body where the pigment holds up perfectly is the forearm. In summer, this area is always in full view. In a business setting, the pattern is easily concealed from prying eyes.
Thigh
In addition to the fact that the drawings on the thighs of the man is the easiest to hide, they are not very painful to apply. The disadvantage is one: there is not enough space.
What does the price of the tattoo sketch depend on?
If the price for the tattoo can be calculated by the area, the number of fine details and shades, the sketch includes the artist's ability to transfer the verbal description. Often it is necessary to redo the original version, as the customer wants to make new details.
Some calculate the price based on the time spent. In this case it is better to go to an experienced artist.Even if an hour of his work costs more. A professional knows a lot of techniques and asks leading questions, which then allow you to create a perfect picture the first time.
Less experienced one will charge less for an hour of work, but most likely he will forget to ask about the shades and transitions, about the emotions an image should cause, and this is very important. After all, even a simple phrase can be written in different fonts, and it will completely change the meaning.
