If you are like most people, including myself a few years ago, you may well have begun your search for a cute dragon tattoo design by searching for it in Google, or yahoo or whatever your favourite search engine is. This is the logical first step, right? Well sadly, as I found out the hard way, it isn't ...
You see, the problem is that when you conduct a search in a search engine, it scans the text on the site, checks back links and other content to analyze which are the best pages to show you based on what you search for. This would be great if you were looking for information about cute dragon tattoos, but your not. Search engines aren't yet smart enough to be able to look at a tattoo design on the internet, assess it's originality, creativity and quality and personally I doubt that they ever will be.
Even when you do an image search for tattoo designs, they tend to favour older pages and images, and therefore keep throwing up the same old designs over and over again for years. So any tattoo designs that you do find using this method will have been seen and used by millions of other people. And if you are anything like me, this definitely isn't what getting a tattoo is all about.
So where can you find original, creative, well designed tattoos on the internet?
Well, the answer to that question may surprise you a little because it isn't what most people would expect. But, the truth is that the best place to begin your search for a great cute dragon tattoo design is in fact in some of the larger tattoo forums that have sprung up around the internet in recent years. The reason why these are such great resources for finding great tattoo designs is because they are frequented by tattoo artists who like to upload their latest designs, so there is always fresh content, and also many of the users like to share links to new designs and sites that they have found. Also, if you head over to their archive section you will find tons of links to great online tattoo art galleries that you wont find in the search engines.
