First Tattoo Ideas

Making the decision to get a tattoo for the first time is a big moment, and you may want to start small and discreet – or you may be ready to make a splash with your first tattoo design. You probably have an idea of the kind of thing you want, but if not, this website is full of first tattoo ideas and inspiration. One of our tattoo expos is the ideal place to take the plunge because the room will be full of talented tattoo artists with the experience to advise you on 1st tattoo ideas.

First Tattoo Designs in an Endless Variety of Styles

If you haven’t got a definite idea of what to get, or you haven’t yet narrowed your choice down to a handful of first tattoo designs, don’t worry. Just about everyone at the tattoo expo will be inked and you can get ideas just by looking around and talking to people. The artists themselves have successfully helped first-timers and everyone with a design somewhere was once a first-time customer too, so you will be among friends.

First Things First: Do Your Research for 1st Tattoo Ideas

If you look under the Research tab, you will find a checklist and an A-Z of tattoo styles, where you will discover things you never even imagined. The world of first tattoo ideas is rich and wide-ranging, so you can take the thought that’s been in the back of your mind and get a good idea of how it would turn out in reality. See it in different colours or imagine it in a different style. You may find yourself drawn to a particular tattoo artist who looks like they are on your wavelength. They may have done something similar to what you’re thinking of, or their work may inspire you to get more creative. You may like their subtlety, or their boldness and you may see how your idea could be improved, maybe how it would work on a different part of your body. The world is full of ideas for first-time tattoos and our expos are melting pots of creativity and inspiration. The designer is an artist, and you are the canvas, but you can contribute to the creative process yourself.

Book an Appointment to Make Sure

If you turn up at the event with nothing definite in mind, you may or may not get lucky and find an artist you like who happens to be free at a convenient time. To make sure, though, it is best to contact them in advance and make a definite date and time. You can discuss in advance what you want, and they can give you any advice you need. Then, on the Australian Tattoo Expo day, you just rock up and they will work their magic on you. It’s like booking a hair appointment or a table in a restaurant: the best people tend to be popular and are not sitting there waiting for walkups.

So, refine your 1st tattoo ideas, do some research, make a decision, and make an appointment. That’s the way to make the most of this opportunity to express your individuality and get the best out of the options for your first tattoo designs.
