Tattoo Books
Although it is always best to design your own tattoo, tattoo books can be a helpful source of information and inspiration to help you get the perfect tattoo for you. There are hundreds of tattoo books. Each tattoo parlor will have their own available for you to peruse, showcasing literally tens of thousands of designs. There will be comic book tattoos, Celtic knots, naval tattoos, kanji, pinup girls, and probably a fair bit of the mythological stuff with dragons, eagles, and ghouls of all sorts which is so well known among tattoo fans. If you are really into tattoo books, you might even order one which shows the tattoos on actual peoples bodies. Then you don't have to simply contemplate the design. You can have some idea of how it will look in real life.
I looked for tattoo books for years before I was ready to get myself a tattoo. I knew I wanted something that incorporated a phoenix, but I had no idea how to go about it, so I watched how it showed up in the tattoo books. The phoenix is a very important personal symbol for me. I battled cancer for many years before finally making a full recovery, and the idea of a mystical rebirth is very near and dear to my heart. But none of the phoenix designs in the tattoo books were quite what I wanted. None of them came near. They all were really very bright and colorful, with many different colors as if a phoenix were a peacock.
What I wanted was something very plain, and I finally found my idea in one of the tattoo books. It was a picture of a crow done in very thin, graceful line drawing. It was gorgeous. It looked almost like a pencil drawing. I didn't want a crow, but I wanted a phoenix, one of the most fantastic of fantastic creatures, done in that simple, realistic style. I took the tattoo book in to a tattoo artist who I know and showed it to him. I explained that that was what I wanted, and he said that he could do it, and got to work sketching. When he was done, he had something perfect, more beautiful than any of the designs in the tattoo books which I had looked for. I sat down right then, and he began to do that phoenix on my thigh.
