Even if you haven't figured out what tattoo style you like the most, generic artwork won't cut it. You can't make good, informed decisions about what you will ultimately like in the long run while staring at pages filled with cookie cutter design choices. That's probably the kind of artwork you've been seeing lately, though. That's why I'm sharing two straight forward tips on easily finding amazing galleries for the tattoo styles you love.

This is not about finding a couple of half decent designs. No. It's about finally getting to dive into the artwork sites that truly take pride in having databases of real artwork, made by real artists. Most of the generic junk out there doesn't even come close to this top of the line stuff. Like I hinted at above, though, many of you are drowning in a sea of cookie cutter tattoos for the tattoo styles you're looking for. It's almost as if every site you go to has a replica of the generic stuff you just saw at another website.

This is what happens if you are relying too heavily on the assistance of search engines to find artwork galleries for you. It's best to step away from search engines and leave them alone in a cold, dark corner. They do more harm than good, because they very rarely pull up the high quality artwork sites in their listings. They've all been left out, in favor of flashier looking websites that are packed with generic junk. With that said, I have one more tip to share and it's the most important one: Now is the time to use big forums as your main method of finding wonderful artwork for your tattoo styles.

Leave the smaller forums alone, because it's the big ones which will be loaded with topics about tattoos. All of them are tucked away in their archives, which is easily accessible. You just hop in there, pick a few of the larger topics on the subject and dive into them. Why are you doing this, you ask? It's because of the countless number of names and inks to superb galleries you can pull out of the topics. People are always kindly giving this info, leading you to such amazing artwork websites that are sure to have some of the best artwork for any tattoo styles you want. It's the perfect way to weed out the generic stuff, while getting a fresh look at real stuff.

Whatever you do, don't just "settle" on something you're not 100% sure about when picking designs for your tattoo styles.
