There are many tattoo designs that look very good on paper. But when they are drawn on the skin, they look just okay or tend to appear very dull.

For instance; try printing the design on a paper that reflects your skin color. This way, you will be able to see the closest outcome of the tattoo after it is inked onto your skin. Note that intricate details of custom tattoo designs may appear more attractive with a white background.

But this does not mean that they get tattooed at various parts of the body just like that. The design and the size of the tattoos need to be appropriate to look good on part of the body where it is tattooed. So spend quality time and effort to make sure that your tattoo design is the best for inking on a certain body part. For example; expert tattoo artists make use of body curves to emphasize details of the design. Usually the wrist, chest, ankle and back yield the best effects for custom tattoo designs.
