New designs are added to these collections and they can include features such as a community forum, members' area and resource library. This is a good choice if you need tattoo ideas.
Downloads give you the whole collection to be saved onto your computer for a one-time payment. Usually this is instant. You can buy an individual design as in the case with Tattoo Johnny or an entire collection, like Crazy Tattoo Designs. This has the advantage of being yours to keep, but it is simply a collection or gallery without any extras.

A quality site is going to show you at least a few tattoos unless they think you'll be put off by them. So this can be a good indication of what to expect. But don't expect to see many, they won't want others getting the artwork free.
Finally, find out if there is some kind of guarantee. If there is, it is in their interests to give you what you are paying for. This is a good indication of a quality site.
