You can do a lot with mermaid tattoo designs. They can be a small, delicate ankle or foot tattoo. You can also do a larger arm or leg tattoo. Because of the tail, it makes a good design to wrap around a body part. If you want to make the tattoo larger, add some other water animals like dolphins or fish to the design. It's your tattoo, use your imagination and create something you will cherish.
When people ask about your tattoo, you want to have a good story to tell. If the tattoo doesn't mean anything personal to you, you'll get tired of it soon. Unlike many things in our lives, you can't get rid of a tattoo very easily. One out of 4 people have some type of tattoo regret. Don't let that happen to you. Take your time and don't get rushed into getting a design that you're not 200% sure of.
A good online tattoo gallery is where you should go to design unique mermaid tattoo designs. If you join a membership gallery you can have unlimited downloads for the price of two downloaded designs at some other online galleries. The best way to make your tattoo unique is to combine pieces of different tattoo designs that you like and put them together.
Let's say you want to combine dolphins and a mermaid. You can print off a few different dolphin designs that you like and a few different mermaid designs. Sit down with them and try different designs together to see which ones look best. You might find that you like a part of one mermaid and a part of another. That's fine, put together your puzzle and make your unique design. You can take it to a tattoo parlor and the artist will put the finishing touches on the design. You'll be leaving with a special unique tattoo that you designed.
