Properly selecting a tattoo design BEFORE you go to a tattoo parlor will give you the perfect tattoo of your dreams rather than a tattoo of regret.
But, before the days of internet and virtual communities, it was not easy - the only way to browse tattoo designs for most people was to browse through the tattoo design sample book at the local tattoo parlor...moments before they get it! Worse yet, many people get tattoos when ineberated, which does not help the case. It goes without saying that if you want a really good tattoo that fully represents who you are, you must research and decide what you want BEFORE you set foot in the tattoo parlor!
Luckily, thanks to broadband internet and quality online tattoo design galleries, it has become quite easy for just about ANYONE to find the perfect tattoo design that fully represents them - so they can bring the exact design to their local tattoo artist and get that exact tattoo!
We decided to sit down and review some of these these online tattoo deisgn galleries - our key criteria
were 1)Large number of tattoo designs available, 2) large, high resolution designs 3) affordably priced, and 4) satisfaction guarantee
Overall, we were pleasantly suprised with the results - this new way of tattoo design research does work very well, allowing newbies and veterans alike to do their own thorough research for the perfect tattoo, before going into their favorite tattoo parlor to get the work done.

We reviewed 7 such sites - only 3 met our criteria:
- Large Number of Designs
- at least 3,000 designs in various categories such as tribal, armband, crosses, flowers, hearts, celtic, dragons, skulls, Chinese, zodiacs and more.
- High Resolution Design Files
- Instantly downloadable and printable files in high resolution format so you can print it out and take it to your favorite tattoo artist.
- Affordably Priced
- Must be priced under $50 for unlimited lifetime access.
- Satisfaction Guarantee
- If for any reason you are not satisfied within 8 weeks, you can get your money back.

Largest Number of Tattoos & Lowest Price!
By
far the best overall tattoo site we came across - our own experience
says you should also sign up with this site and start enjoying full access to the HUGEST gallery of high quality tattoo designs for your next tattoo.
This is the only site we reviewed with over 10,000 high quality tattoo designs. And with the great samples we've seen so far, everything indicates that the rest of the collection would be of the same quality. This package also comes with special bonus packs of tribal tattoos, dragon tattoos, and even a Chinese name translation tool so you can get your name in Chinese tattooed!
If you are new to the world of tattoos, you will appreciate the special bonus book for beginners. And if you are interested in learning how to tattoo, the special bonus book called Art of Tattoo with insider knowledge from tattoo experts will guide you down that path.
The most amazing thing about Tattoo Fever is that while it has the largest tattoo design collection and useful bonuses out of all the sites we reviewed, it's also priced the lowest! At the current sale price of just $19.99, it is almost 50% cheaper than most other sites that offer less content for $30-$40. While $40 is still a bargain price to pay for top notch tattoo designs, at $19.99, Tattoo Fever wins hands down!
The Verdict: Largest selection of high quality tattoos at the best price; unique bonuses, beginner friendly and awesome in every aspect - our top pick

Highly Recommended
Our
second pick is a superb value in its own right. While it does not contain as many designs as the number one pick, we were still impressed by the more than adequate 3,500+ high quality tattoo designs, categorized into 40+ categories.
Where this website shines is its community-based benefits (Web 2.0) and useful resources for its members/users. You will experience true community with other users through
the gallery of member photos, helpful discussions in forums, list of reputable and member reviewed studios/parlor (10,000 in 38 countries), upcoming events in your area, and lots more.
In addition, there's a huge audio and video library covering educational as well as entertaining topics related to tattoos. You can even upload your own multimedia to share with others if you choose to.
All
in all, its a great overall package that will not only give you over 3,500 high quality tattoo designs, it will also let you be fully immersed in the world of tattoos very quickly with its unique online community emphasis.
The Verdict: Adequately large selection of designs at a slightly higher price. For those of you who aren't worried about the extra $17, this package with its emphasis on community interaction may just be what you've been looking for.

Chopper Tattoo is just about the most popular online tattoo gallery in the world. It's good, and people love it.
Like the previous two picks, this website also has a large selection of high quality tattoo designs. The exact number isn't published, but Chopper Tattoo claims thousands of unique award winning tattoo designs, not junk designs. From what we've seen, the designs are very good.
Also, the directory of reputable tattoo artists will certainly help members make better decisions as to where to go in order to get high quality work done after they've carefully selected the perfect tattoo design(s) they want. This is a very important part of the process.
While this site is the most popular and has top quality designs and features, some may not like the fact that they cannot access anything or browse through the samples until they join. (They do this to protect their unique designs). Also, at $34.44 for a lifetime membership, it's certainly not the cheapest. 30-day and 60-day memberships are available at slightly lower prices, but you might as well just go for the lifetime access.
The Verdict: Award-winning designs and the world's most popular online tattoo gallery. A little more pricy, and you cannot browse samples unless you join.
Like the first two picks, you'll get a 100% unconditional satisfaction guarantee for a full 8 weeks, so there's no risk whatsoever to check it out.
