In the last decade or so it has become increasingly popular to have Chinese or Japanese symbols tattooed on the body. Did you know that the word Ci Shen actually means “puncture the body” in Chinese? But it does bring about an interesting point. Sometimes words or phrases, like tattoo, do not translate exactly as you would have them. You have to really do your homework if you want to venture into a foreign language for a tattoo. Freetattoodesigns.org can help you make the right choices.

While freetattoodesigns.org is a free website that does feature a lot of information about tattoos, it is not actually a tattoo design website. It is not going to give you a selection of Chinese or Japanese symbols to tattoo on your body. You should think of the website as more of an information portal. It supplies links to translators or to informational websites about tattooing.

This website is a bit of a gem to those who want more information. Granted it does not have the stencils and pictures that you can buy off the more traditional tattoo design websites but you are also not paying for anything. Sometimes the information you gain by using a website such as this is far more advantageous than paying $15.00 for a dragon tattoo and stencil.

The website does offer some free tattoos but you should keep in mind that there are probably thousands of people who have used the same tattoo. But even that should not detract from your visit to this webpage. The information that is posted after each tattoo section is truly invaluable. You can really learn a lot about the history of tattoos and what tattooing means in different cultures. Where else would you have learned that Ci Shen does not mean “tattoo” and instead means “puncture the body?”

No, freetattoodesigns.org is not going to be selling you the stencil and art work to get your tattoo. It is not designed to do that. Instead it presents a wonderful opportunity to learn all you can about this art form. The more you know before you get your tattoo the happier you will be after it has been placed permanently on your skin. So take the time to look through the website and then find the perfect tattoo for you.
