If you are looking to buy tattoo designs, there are a few things that you need to keep in mind. As you already know, tattoo designs can have a great deal of personal meaning, so it is important to think about how you feel and what your relationship is to the personal design.
Make sure you know what you are getting in to and take some time to really communicate your own ideas about what you want.
The time right after your tattoo has been inked is when it will look the sharpest and the clearest; after that, especially if the lines are very fine, the ink might start to bleed a little.
Secondly, when you buy tattoo designs, remember that color is a concern. White ink is something that is often quite problematic when it comes to people who have darker skin, whether they are of African or Asian descent. People who have fair or pale skin usually have a great deal more luck when it comes to white ink sticking to them. If you have darker skin, you will want to rethink your design or speak with your tattooist to see what can be done.
When it comes to tattoo designs, remember that you have many options to choose from. Think long and hard and make sure that you are buying the one that is right for you.

You can buy an individual design as in the case with Tattoo Johnny or an entire collection, like Crazy Tattoo Designs. This has the advantage of being yours to keep, but it is simply a collection or gallery without any extras. Usually with an entire collection you will have to browse page by page as there is no search option, though categories such as tribal, butterfly, etc, may be saved in different files.
When you come across a site that looks interesting the obvious thing is to have a look at the designs available on the website. A quality site is going to show you at least a few tattoos unless they think you'll be put off by them. So this can be a good indication of what to expect. But don't expect to see many, they won't want others getting the artwork free.
Finally, find out if there is some kind of guarantee. If there is, it is in their interests to give you what you are paying for. This is a good indication of a quality site.
