A tattoo is a permanent decision. That's why it's hard to understand why so many people rush into getting tattoos with relatively little thought as to actually what they will be getting forever etched into their skin. It's pretty common for people to wander into a tattoo parlor with little to no idea what design they are interested in. For this reason most shops have books full of tattoo ideas for one to get ideas from. Here is a list of some of the most popular tattoo designs.

1. Dolphins

 Dolphin tattoos are extremely popular among women. Especially in the 80's and 90's. Why? I have no idea. My bet would be that the hit TV show Flipper had something to do with it.

2. Dragons

It's no surprise that this legendary fire breathing creature tops our list. Years of myth and folklore have spired endless fascination with these reptile beasts. In some countries dragons are a sign of strength, hope, and purity. The dragon is by far the most popular tattoo in asian countries, especially China and Japan. Designs range from simple little wrist tattoos to elaborate full body masterpieces.

3. Butterfly

The butterfly tattoo is, well, pretty to say the least. Another popular design among females, butterflies make for a intricate yet simple design.

Celtic knots (pictured above), crosses, five fold symbols, mandalas, arwen, and single spiral's are just a few of the numerous celtic symbols that people request.
