Your first step is to ask yourself what you are sure about.你的第一个步骤是要问问自己，你现在可以肯定的。 You essentially have four options:你基本上有四种选择：

Ask yourself this: "What is the general shape of my design?"问问自己： "什么是一般的形状我的设计" ？

You need to visualize exactly what it is that you want in this design.你必须想象一个确切的说法是，你想在这方面的设计。 Here, you will think like an artist.在这里，你会觉得像一个艺术家。 Imagine your body as an abstract campus, with your tattoo design being the artwork on the campus.想象你的身体是一个抽象的校园，如果你的纹身设计作为艺术品，对大学校园。

Your goal is to find an area on your body that will best fit the overall "shape" of the design.你的目标是要找到一个领域你身上，将最适合总体上的"形"的设计。 To do this, you must keep the composition of your design simple.要做到这一点，你必须保持组成你的设计简单。 Since the detail within the design will be tight and complex, you need to stick with basic shapes as the foundation of your design.由于详细设计，将严密和复杂的，你必须坚持的基本形状为基础，你的设计。

Think of your tattoo as a beautiful flower garden, filled with many different sized and colored flowers.思考你的纹身是一个美丽的大花园，洋溢着许多大小不同和各色鲜花。 Notice how the garden as a whole has an overall shape.公告如何花园作为一个整体，有一个整体的形状。 Whether it be a peanut-shape, triangle, oval, or square, it's sole purpse is to enclose its complex inner goods.是否是一个花生形，三角形，椭圆形，或方形，它的唯一purpse是要附上其复杂的内品。

"What the Hell do flower gardens have to do with my tattoo design?" "算是个什么东西做花卉园林都与我的纹身图案设计" ？

Let's use an actual tattoo design as an example for those of you who can't handle the above metaphor:让我们用一个实际的纹身图案设计作为一个例子，对于那些你不能处理好上述的比喻：

Skulls.骷髅。 A skull has an overall circular shape to it.头颅有一个整体的圆形形状给它。 Piece of cake.一块蛋糕。 This thing can go anywhere, but your best bet is to stick it somewhere that would reinforce its shape.这件事，可以去任何地方，但你最好的选择就是要坚持它某处说，将加强其形状。 I recommend the shoulder blade.我推荐的肩膀刀片。 See how it works?看看它是如何运作的？

How about a sword?如何剑？ A sword tattoo will clearly be longer than it is wide.一把刀纹身将明显长于是广泛。 Something like this has a lanky, narrow rectangle as its compositional shape.这样有一个身材瘦长，窄的矩形，因为其成分形成。 Sounds like the forearms or calves to me.听起来像前臂或犊牛给我。

Now that you see the general formula you will have a much better idea of where on your body you want your tattoo.现在你看到的一般公式，你将有一个更美好的想法而对你的身体你想让你的纹身。

Let's break it down to three simple steps:让我们打破削减至3个简单的步骤：

In order to choose a design to fit the location, you must think about yourself.为了选择一个设计，以适合的位置，你必须相信你自己。 Isolate yourself and keep a calm, relaxed mindset.孤立自己，保持冷静，放松心态。 While you are in this state of mind, start to think of all the things you love in life.而你在这方面的精神状态，开始觉得所有的东西你爱的生活情趣。 Think of your passions, beliefs, and attractions.思考你的激情，信仰和景点。 Let your brain go wild.让你的大脑偶尔放纵一下。 Don't try to control it.不要试图控制它。

Once you've landed on some options, you need to visualize their shape.一旦你就登陆了一些选项，你必须看到自己的形状。 This ability will come with practice, so keep at it.这种能力来实践的结合上，所以保持这件事。

Simply apply the steps above to choose a good location for your tattoo.简单地适用于以上步骤，以选择一个好位置，为您的纹身。 If you have a certain design that you want on a certain part of your body, but you think it might look weird there, then let me know.如果你有一定的设计，你想对某部分你的身体，但你认为它可能看起来怪在那里，然后让我知道。 I will use my creativity to make it work.我会用我的创造力，使之工作。 This thing is on you forever, let's make it perfect.这件事是对你永远的，让我们使之完善。

Now you have some basic skills in choosing art to fit a compositional space.现在你有一些基本技能，在选择艺术只适合成分的空间。 It will take time and patience to see the perfect design in your head.这是需要时间和耐心，看到完美的设计，在你的头上。 My advice to you is to take it slow.我向你们提供的意见，就是以它缓慢。 There's no rush.有没有延误。 However, if you wait too long, you may develop a fear of getting the tattoo.不过，如果你等待太久，你可以制定一个害怕得到纹身。 You'll find the balance.您将会找到平衡。
