There are many different types of fairies with different looks and meanings. Popular crazes right now are gothic fairy tattoos. Gothic fairies are known in the mythical world as spirits from the metaphysical realm. These designs are extremely sexy and would really show your naughty side off. Some fairies look very human like while others have pointed ears, look like gnomes or even have no wings at all.
Consider looking up the different types of fairies through books or online. You could learn about the law and history and even find a new type of fairy you might be interested in getting tattooed on yourself. Another option could be to draw inspiration of some of your favourite fairytales or television shows. You don't have to pick the exact character but instead take notes on how the fairies look and see if you'd want to have similar features on your own. You should be getting joyful feelings when you've narrowed down your tattoo selection to about 2 or 3, if you have any bad feelings about the tattoo, keep searching.
A real positive of choosing a fairy design for a tattoo is that they go fantastic with other designs. For example a full leg tattoo featuring butterflies and flowers as well as fairies would make such an alluring and eye catching design that you would be more then happy to show the world. You could also mix your fairy in with other mythical creatures like a unicorn.
So how should you go about picking the right fairy tattoo design? You can base a lot of the decision on your idea of yourself. If you're a bright and bubbly person you may go for a fairy that is colourful and cheerful. If you consider yourself more mature and elegant then why not pick a design that resembles those characteristics. Look at the design and imagine yourself as the fairy, if you can't get inside your imagination and see yourself as the fairy you want to get tattooed on yourself, another design could be a better choice.
All in all choosing a tattoo with a fairy design in mind is a wonderful idea that will surely attract lots of attention. If you want some extra ideas when it comes to designs I highly recommend this wonderful resource http://shrinkmylink.com/eabiton
