Remember, your tattoo is all about you and as such, the more meaningful and personal it will be to you, the more it will appeal to you and you are likely to grow comfortable with your tattoo design.

Reason #2 - COMMEMORATING YOUR LOVED ONES

Think about someone you deeply love. Someone special that means the world to you.

Either they have passed away or not; it can be a parent, grandparent, spouse, sibling or a beloved friend. Someone that you would like to have close to you at all times. You may want to commemorate him or her by a unique tattoo design and by that treasure them - forever.

Reason #3 - COMMEMORATING AN IMPORTANT MOMENT OR EPISODE IN YOUR LIFE

We all have our special episodes and moments in our lives we would always like to keep with us. Finding your unique way to commemorate those unforgettable moments in a special tattoo design, will most likely result in an unforgettable tattoo.

Reason #4 - COMMEMORATING AN ACHIEVEMENT IN YOUR LIFE

Think about something you have achieved or would very much like to achieve in life. Something you aspire towards. We all have them. It may be something big but it does not necessarily have to be.

It can also be a small achievement, which its significance marked or will mark a significant step in your life, and that is certainly worth a special tattoo design.

Reason #5 - HARD TIMES YOU HAVE ENDURED AND PREVAILED

Some have experienced them more than others; however, enduring and overcoming hardships usually turn into the most significant moments in one's life.

Many people choose to commemorate those episodes with a special tattoo design. To some it serves as a reminder of what they have endured, never wanting to forget.
