Q. Check out this quote from an interview with Pat Fish (a woman tattoo artist world famous for her Celtic designs). It came out in 2003:
"College students cast about for something with meaning. The great default is something written in Japanese. It's low commitment, and they can feel wicked and tattooed. Frankly, a tiny kanji looks better than a miniscule rose. We call those 'zits on sticks.' The most common tattoo we do, besides kanji, is suns. Especially on girls' lower backs. For the last four or five years, we've done at least one a day. I hung a sign on the front door of my house that says, 'This is the bungalow that suns on butt cracks bought.'" ......
"We work out of files. I have a file of just suns. That way, I don't have to keep drawing the same thing. After the customer looks at 500 different suns, one-third will pick the same sun. It's the logo for this generation�Leo Zulueta's tribal sun. Then they can make it even more meaningful by putting a kanji in the center! My mantra about that is, 'The baker doesn't complain when the muffins sell well.' So, if we bake another dozen kanji, we're happy to do it!"

Hmmm...What�s the �logo� for THIS generation?
Here is the artist�s cynical viewpoint. Most are probably sick of doing the same �unoriginal� pieces. (Earlier in this article she says �That�s what employees are for!�)
But there is also a value in the standard design; everyone needs to be familiar with it so its �standard� meaning comes across. If every traffic light used different colors to mean �stop� and �go,� it would be really confusing.
Your thoughts?
I walked by Pat Fish's shop today (it's really close to my house) and peeked in....there is a whole HUGE wall of kanji flash, with the meanings of each character! I can really sympathize with her cynical attitude, but this just made the shop look really bad!

A. I completely feel sorry for tattoo artists who do 3-4 tramp stamps a day. As a piercing apprentice I feel as if I might scream every time some generic girl comes in to get either her tongue, her belly button, or both pierced. You can't blame people though, we're all victims trying to look cool. Some of us might not go out and get tattooed on a whim, but we will express it in other ways.
What type of tattoos do women likes on guys?
Q. I wanna get a sleeve tattoo but I can't choose which one!
Color? Only black ink? designs?
I like the Japanese and tribal designs,I just can't make a decision!! help!

A. Don't care about if a tattoo will get you laid or not. Tattoos are supposed to be either something meaningful or for aesthetic purposes.
Also, every woman is different. Some will love tattoos, some will hate them and others will be indifferent. So honestly, don't worry about it.
If you really can't decide on what style, think about a subject. Meditate on it for a while and then you'll know if you actually want it or not. Just be an adult and get a tattoo for yourself not for what others want or what you'd think they want.
oh and because of your indecision i can only imagine how stumped you are on finding the perfect artist. find reviews on shops at specific artists in your area. look at the cleanliness of a shop and how you are treated from the moment you walk in.
