Popular Tattoos to Consider the Next Time You Want New Ink 

Tattoos are unique to each individual. While some tattoos are specially designed for specific reasons, most of the same tattoo designs are chosen by many people. Chances are someone you know has the same tattoo as you, but they both mean something different to each of you. If you are looking for new tattoo ideas, consider the following popular options.  

Compass with Coordinates  

People often experience life events in different areas of the world. For example, you might have a special memory on a cruise, airplane, top of a mountain, city, town, or landmark. Marking the exact spot with the exact degrees and making it into a tattoo is a popular choice for many tattoo enthusiasts. It’s an excellent way to document the special events in your life forever.  

Nationality Tattoos 

Are you proud of your heritage? Most people are finding out their true heritage by taking DNA tests through genealogy companies. This has opened up a new world for many people. It especially has given African Americans the chance to trace their true roots to their homeland. The test has also surprised many people by confirming they are part Native American. People who find out their roots run deep in African or Native American tribes, often wish to get a tattoo symbolizing their heritage. This includes specific items related to their tribes such as animals, feathers, arrowheads and more.  

Peaceful and Religious Tattoos  

The world is in chaos, but many people have managed to find their own peace in the Universe. Spiritual and peaceful tattoos are common for those who wish to express their strength and harmony in the world. The most common spiritual tattoos are crosses, star of David, yin-yang symbol, and more.  

Fun Tattoos 

Plenty of people get tattoos for fun. An excellent example is a group of friends that take a trip for a special occasion and want to mark the occasion with a tattoo. All the members of the group of friends decide on the same tattoo. Sometimes it’s not just friends that do this, it’s also fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, best friends, married couples, and couples who are dating.  

If you are looking for new ink, the information above will help you decide. Whether your new tattoo is meaningful, fun or represents your nationality, you need to make the commitment to it being on your body forever, so make it awesome!
