Star Tattoos - The reason stars are cool tattoo ideas is because they have been around for so long and can work for so many different kinds of people. Stars became popular with navy seaman who would get nautilus star tats inked on for symbolism of finding their way home safely from the sea. It stands for strength in direction and can be applied in many areas of modern life to all kinds of different individuals.
Lettering (Words, Sayings, Names) - The key to getting a word, saying, or name (besides what you choose; you should definitely make sure you come up with words you won't regret) is the lettering you choose. You have a lot of choice over which style font and design to use for your letters. This can make an ordinary letter tattoo into something very cool. Think of lettering as tattoo art all in itself. Each letter is it's own separate design. You can turn an already powerful name or saying into something even stronger.
Old School Designs - A lot of the modern style tattoo designs have come and gone. Remember the old "chain link" tattoo that was so popular in the 90's? Guys would get the chain link around their biceps, forearms or wrists. These proved to be a fad and rarely do you see fresh ink of chain links now days. But what will never die, are the old school designs. "Too cool to die", as they say. They have stood the test of time and continue to be the chosen favorite of both male and female tattoo enthusiasts. Both sexes love the old pinup girl tattoos for instance. Check tattoo parlors and online galleries for "classic" tattoos to see the variety of options available.
