l the
h classics

andd don’t

fads. A traditionalist, you stick to what works. For a tattoo, stick to crisp classic styles and
themes: Pin-up girls, sailor themes, koi fish, geisha, a heart & dagger, anchor, stars, or
anything with sharp classic tattoo figures and lines.
Mostly B’s Cultural & Tribal
You are proud to celebrate your culture, your religion, your team, your frat, or your club
because it is a real part of you. You can’t think of anything more representative than the
symbol of your “tribe”. Try a tattoo of your ethnic background, your sorority symbols, your
favorite band, sport team, or a striking design that flatters your physique.
Mostly C’s Fantasy & Floral
You are not one to conform to the latest fads because you possess a unique point of view
view. A
deeply passionate individual, you take pleasure in caring for those around you through artistic
expression. For a tattoo try an earthy design, your favorite fantasy icon, or a one of a kind
sketch you drew yourself!
Mostly D’s Text & Languages

aren’tt afraid to wear your opinions on your
sleeve- literally. Consider words or names that mean something to you; think quotes, graffiti,
kanji, Arabic or a lettering of your own design.
