What is your favorite tattoo style?

I was just cruising the forums and looking through some of the members tattoo pictures, and just thinking about the different styles out there. I have friends in all sorts of different groups from all sorts of different backgrounds, some with pin ups and rockabilly style tattoos, some with "heavy metal" looking tattoos, and some with tribal style tattoos. I personally had never been a big fan of tribal tattoos, but I had to admit that a trip to Hawaii last  year, which included a luau, made me a bit of a fan of tribal tattoos, specifically tribal tattoos on young fit guys in grass skirts. ;)

I have 8 pretty good sized peices that are sort of a hodgepodge of styles on my body. I have everything from Elvis on my calf to a pink winged horse on my back (from a children's story called Shimmerree) to an antique picture frame filled with flowers that spans from my shoulder to my elbow. I cannot say I really have a  favorite style I guess, I just get what is personal to me.

Do you any of you guys and gals have any favorites when it comes to the style of art you prefer on your body?

Oh I was young and foolish in my teen years! I got tattooed for free by friends who were learning. It has cost me a small fortune to cover all the mess they made!  ;)

 

then got my second at some random guys house (I met him on the internet and went to his house and got a tattoo for free, oh to be young and foolish!!!)

I like both traditional (but it has to be well done), bright and cartoonish things and whimsical fairytale bits.

I plan on getting some pieces (once I have the money) based on some fairytale illustrations from old children's books.

My first tattoo was a tribal butterfly on my back, Recently went and got "mr. horsepower" with zebra flags on my food, I love american traditional. Im a gear head but very girly so most of mine are going to be hot rod girly tattoos! I went from hating color tattoos to loving them!!

American Traditional FTW.

 

I do have a tribal piece, and a hot rod piece but my love is for American Traditional.

I like that NewSchool and Japanese styles and Pin Ups are the best. Of course anykind of style when its well maid is cool but on my skin I cant see any Mike Myers pic! :D
