Fairy Tattoo Designs
Fairy tattoo designs offer tattoo enthusiasts the opportunity to ink a magical tattoo that has its roots in fantasy and folklore. The vast majority of people who ink fairy tattoo designs are females who have chosen the fairy design style for nostalgic reasons. Many girls grow up reading enchanting fantasy stories about fairies with magical powers, deciding later in life to ink a fairly design because it reminds them of exploring their imaginations as a little girl. Probably the most famous fairy is Tinkerbell from the Peter Pan story, although there are many other childrens stories that have fairies as central characters. Some entire books are dedicated to the lives of fairies.
Fairies have the appearance of humans, except that they have wings and are usually very small. Fairies have their origins in Celtic folklore, and are believed to possess supernatural powers such as the ability to cast spells as well as being able to see in to the future. Fairies are wild creatures that live in harmony with nature, often being depicted among flowers, plants, and toadstools.
The is a vast range of different fairy tattoo designs available today, although designs generally depict female fairies, and tend to fall in to two broad categories. The first style depicts innocent young fairies in a friendly and colourful way. These designs tend to be relatively small and simple, harking back to illustrations in childrens books. The other main style of fairy tattoos depicts adult fairies in a more detailed and lifelike way. These designs are generally larger to accommodate the more lifelike details of the fairy, and are drawn in a classical fantasy style. Adult fantasy fairy characters are not always innocent, instead they are often mischievous and sexy characters. An increasingly popular fairy tattoo design style is to ink a mischievous and sexy adult fantasy fairy as a pinup down the upper arm or calf.

There exists an incredible amount of options for customising you fairy tattoo design. Firstly, the design can be customised by changing characteristics such as the wing size and pattern, the hair style, as well as the clothing. Additional though should be put in to the colours that you want incorporated in to your design. Many girls also choose to incorporate other elements in to their fairy tattoo designs. Common graphics incorporated in to fairy tattoos include plants and flowers, mushrooms and toadstools, butterflies, dragonflies, stars, as well as the moon.
Fairy tattoo designs look good pretty much anywhere on the body, however if your chosen design is fairly large, some areas of the body will be too small to accommodate it. Popular areas for inking fairys include the lower back, belly, shoulder, upper arm, calf and ankle, although it really is entirely up to the individual. Choosing a location to ink your tattoo is a very important decision, and I recommend that you head over to the Tattoo Body Areas section for detailed information about each of the commonly tattooed areas of the body.
Finding the ideal tattoo design can be a drawn out process, requiring lots of patience and time spent browsing designs. Tattoo design books and tattoo shop collections are good places to start, but my favourite way to find tattoo designs is to use the internet. Unfortunately, many tattoo enthusiasts fall in to the trap of limiting themselves to free designs found using search engines. This is a bad idea because trawling search engine results wastes a huge amount of time, and usually the designs found are poor quality and very common. A better way is to become a member of one of the top online tattoo design galleries. For fairy tattoos I recommend the Tattoo Me Now online gallery.
