Dragonfly Tattoo Designs
Whether you are looking for a tattoo that will simply look good, or you are in a place where you want to find some specific dragonfly tattoo designs that will work for you, you'll find that you have plenty to choose from. Many people believe that dragonfly tattoos make excellent tattoos, and thanks to the lovely geometric pattern of their wings and to the many different colors they come in, they are a wonderful addition to anyone's tattoo collection!
When you are thinking about dragonfly tattoos and their designs, you'll find that one thing that you should think about is how large you want it and where you want it. Dragonflies can range from being quite tiny to be being insects that are as large as the span of your hand. If you look in the history books, you'll find that they originally came even bigger! When thinking about placement, look for a space on your body where you can place your dragonfly tattoo without fear that it won't stretch as you gain or loose weight.
Dragonfly tattoo designs come in a number of different styles, and all you have to do is find the one that suits you the most. For instance, you'll find that dragonflies were a popular design motif during the Art Nouveau phase of the early twentieth century. In this style, you'll be able to find dragonflies that are beautifully stylized and quite delicate looking. If you are not interested in the delicate nature of this art style, you'll find that you can still take advantage of heavy stylization and take a look at dragonfly tattoo designs that have been rendered in the tribal style, with dramatic black strokes. You'll find that there are plenty of artists who are willing to help you create a design or modify one that you have dreamed up.
When it comes to dragonfly tattoos, you'll find that the sky's really the limit when it comes to colors. Remember that you don't have to be restricted to the colors found in nature. Maybe your dragonfly is a great deal more fanciful and you are looking to make sure that you can use your favorite colors on him, or maybe you are thinking of something in one or two colors that will be more dramatic. Make sure that you discuss your choices with your tattoo artist and take the time to think about how your tattoo will sit on your skin.

It's been a while since we've had a tattoorist in this neck of the woods, so we ought to enjoy a lovely submission.
For those of you new to Tattoosday, or unfamiliar with the term "tattoorist," that refers to someone who is visiting the blog from out of town, sending us their tattoo from the blogosphere and beyond.
Generally, I don't want to encourage e-mail submissions, especially during the summer when my coffers are full of great tattoo photos from people I meet in New York, but I will generally post something if it's particularly awesome.
Enter Kelly, who sent me this phenomenal piece at the end of July:
I'll let Kelly tell us about this:
"It is of the Norse goddess Freya - with her blue cat she got from Thor. She is standing on a bed of Lilies. It is actually a partial cover up that I will add a few more leaves too to even it out a bit.
I got it because I have two daughters - Lilly and Freya. Freya absolutely loves cats - and actually both of their first words was cat. Odd I know. But I think its pretty cool and has real personal meaning. Hope you like it!
Oh yeah - and the pink in the shading is just my angry skin - its just grey now."
Kelly is doing a pop culture/diet experiment called the Hot Pocket Diet. She jokingly admits that this is evidence that she is "just marginally crazy".
This wonderful tattoo was inked by Jeremy Miller at Screamin' Ink Tattoo in Fair Lawn, New Jersey.
Thanks to Kelly for sharing her awesome tattoo with us here on Tattoosday!
