you're not going to randomly find a 'unique' picture on the internet your going to want tattoo'd on your body.
you have to come up with an idea or a concept of something that you would like then you take it to a tattoo artist and explain to him your concept and let him do all the artistic work, then you just critque until its perfect.

dont get anything done until your 100% sure about it... i remeber when i was 17 i really really wanted to get a fox tattoo.. thought i could just stroll into the tattoo place and get them to draw one up.. after the guy sketched one up and it looked like a dog .. i reconsidered.... i got my first tattoo after i finsihed college... now im getting ready to get my 2nd one done ....which took me over a year to find .... it helps alot to look up pictures of what you kind of want.. then take it to the tattoo place and have a sit down and talk to them about what you want.... my bf just got a sleeve done .. it was custom drawn from a bunch of random pictures he found and brought into his tattoo artist... and it turned out wikked....
i dont know.... but i think when your really ready youll know exactly what you want and u'll find it....like i said it took me over a year to find the tattoo im going to be getting.. and i knew once i saw it... its exactly what i wanted... like everyone else is saying.. dont get a tattoo just for the sake of having one.. cause youll regret it somewhere down the road.

everyone here has given good advice.
i found with both of my tattoos, once i saw them i just knew that was what i wanted. the first one i had meghan (mugsy on here) draw up for me out of my ideas, since i'm horrible at drawing. we went through quite a few designs and she was amazing. then i took it the tattoo artist and he put some finishing touches on it to make sure it looked proper and flowed with my body and i love it. my other one i knew the basic design that i wanted, so i brought it down and had my tattoo artist work on it. we went over some ideas and talked for a bit, and then i came back the next day and he showed me what he came up with and it was amazing. i was in love with what he did, so we went with it and i still love it. (it's the big one on my back) i won't get into the meaning though because it's kind of long and personal.. but i love it. so yeah, you just kind of know when you see it. i want more, but it won't be until i know exactly what of and of course until i have the cash. heh

if you yourself aren't certain of what you want, sitting down with someone who can draw isn't going to help you much. i've got one arm sleeved now and i've got half of my other arm finished. i knew pretty much exactly what i wanted, described it to my artist and worked through at least three different drawing sessions with him. they're on your body for the rest of your life, think about that before you get it done. i waited 8 years between the time i first thought of the idea for my first tattoo before i finally did it.
