All throughout the world, it's the simplest things in life that can make the biggest difference. The same is true when it comes to picking tattoo designs. Here's the point I'm trying to make. Get informed about the styles you end up liking. You need to know about the history and any blemishes the style may have. The bet way to get informed, as well as find out about the great artwork sites out there is to use big forums to your advantage. Their archives are packed with topics about tats, where people kindly share their experiences and you can even meet tons of real life artists who share their knowledge.
The other thing you need to do is pick the perfect artist. Don't just go with the first person you half way like. You need to talk to them and see their books of original artwork. Looking at the generic stuff on the wall is not going to tell you if that artist can make your design come out "exactly" like it looks on the piece of paper. 50% of people never ask these questions and end up with back tattoos for men that look completely different (in a bad way) than they thought it would.
Quality art is a must, because people who settle on generic back tattoos for men always regret that decision.
