So, you have chosen to get a tribal dove tattoo? Good choice...now your next step is research. Ready?
The design you choose should be what your heart desires. Tattoos are very painful, so if you cannot tolerate pain, take your time making your decision. Research the tattoo images and their meanings before you get them. Go to several different parlors to get a feel for the local artists. Once you find the design that you like, you will feel a click. You will know that this is THE image. Every time you show it off, you should feel proud!
This may sound like a chore, but it really isn't at all. Many people search Google to get a feel for a variety of images. This may work, but those images aren't unique. If you need originality, use a varying source to finding your tattoo.
Remember that you might be stealing someone else's ideas. There are tattoo sites that have a diversity of original designs, but some require a small fee for admission to their database. However, this fee is only marginal, and isn't usually reoccurring. Also, I know that you have been reminded to be cynical of the cleanliness of where you receive your tat. The sites may provide critiques of the parlors in your neck of the woods, so making the choice of where to get a tattoo becomes a no-brainer. You will know you are in a reputable shop, before you sit in the chair!
Good luck on getting your new tribal dove tattoo!
