I have always found sizable tattoo databases on the net a great help. You can easily shift through lots of detailed designs in a couple of hours each day, it is not something I get tired of. Best of all, when I liked different aspects of different tattoo, it is so easy to use something like 'Adobe Photoshop' or even the standard 'Paint' program that comes with your computer, to cut and paste aspects of different designs so that you can easily see what your ideal design will actually look like on paper. Excellent! That is the perfect way I see of beginning to design your own tattoo from working on your home computer. Its always better to put what you are imagining down in hard copy using these applications, because it over often looks different to what you expected. I bet you like that idea hey!
