One of the coolest things about having a tattoo is that you are more than likely the only person to have that particular tattoo. However, we all know that this is not the case sometimes. Take Lilly Allen, Lindsay Lohan and Rihanna for example. They all have SHHH... tattooed on their index finger. Or Angelina Jolie and Steve-O they both have the Buddhist Pali incantation written in Khmer script on their shoulder blades, of course Steve-O clearly copied Angelina. With that being said the important thing about getting a tattoo and making it your own is to add you own little twist to it.
For example, women love to get butterflies, hearts, stars, and fairies tattooed on them. With that being said it doesn't have to mean they all are a like. You can get a popular tattoo design tattooed on you and be original. Do your best to come up with an original design or add some spice to your design so it sticks out from all the other butterfly, heart, star and fairy tattoos. Try coming up with a unique design for the butterfly's wings, try different colors, add squiggles going off the wings. Or have a cluster of different star sizes and shapes or have your a interesting design for your fairies wings, different facial expressions and heck have your fairy have a little tattoo on her. You just have to learn how to think outside the box when it comes to picking out a tattoo design.
