There are millions of designs available for tattoos but some are classic topics and some designs come and go. Here’s some ideas if you haven’t made you mind up yet. There are a lot more to chose from than a scratchy badly drawn plain color mess that will haunt you in the years to come.

Dragons and Snakes These used to be just for the men but now are becoming popular with girls as well.

Skulls, Bones and Anchors Probably still a man thing but these pirate tattoos are becoming more common on the arms of girls as well.

Celtic Crosses and Knots Always a favorite, some of these designs can be quite stunning.

Ambigrams A lot of interest has appeared in these designs of words that can be read in different directions. These have become much more popular after the Angels & Demons movie.

Tribal What tribe do you belong to, or want to belong to?

Chinese or Sanskrit Chinese or Japanese phrases have always been popular but now Sanskrit, the ancient language of India, has started to be very desirable.

Butterflies and Birds Used most often by girls some of these are in my opinion the most beautiful and sexy tattoos you can have.

There are a huge range and variations on these themes and you should really spend some time thinking about the design before getting a tattoo. People love to see something special and not just some straightforward design.

Shooting stars, flowers, insects, animals. All can make remarkable designs on the body. Don’t forget that there are lots of colors available now but don’t rule out the simple dark tattoo. Even without color some designs can be stunning.

Ankle tattoos can be some of the most sexy. They have to be kept small to fit and are discrete so are very suitable for girls who would like a tattoo but don’t want one that is constantly on view.

So what designs can be put on the foot or ankle? If you want to keep them looking sexy then the skull and crossbones are definitely out. Here are a few of the most popular subject to chose.

Butterflies Always a favorite. A small colored butterfly is one of the most sexy designs you can have.

Small flowers These can be really small and yet very interesting to look at. Of course you can combine them with a butterfly tattoo to make it even more special.

Chinese Symbol Please make sure you know what they mean. You don’t want to have a tattoo of something really stupid like “Fire Exit” on you ankle. Someone is sure to translate it for you in the future.

Koi Fish There are some really good koi fish tattoo designs available now. I especially like the variations of the yin and yang shape.

Tribal Chain It is interesting to have a pattern that loops right round the ankle. There are lot of very different abstract designs to chose from and most people just do them in black.

Ankle or foot tattoos are not the same as tattoos on the arm. The can be easily hidden when you don’t want them on view but when you show them, they are always sexy.

Some people claim that they hurt a little more when having them since the skin is thin and close to the bone so be prepared for a little discomfort when having yours.
