How to Design Your Own Tattoo
You should decide basically what you want. A star, a cross, a butterfly, a dragon, tattoo lettering, etc. If you can’t decide what kind of tattoo design you want to have, you're not at the point where you should get one. Let’s say you want a rose tattoo. There are thousands of varieties of roses. Buy a horticulture magazine or get on line and search for roses. There are old roses, tea roses, and long stemmed roses, there are color variations and petal shape variations. I would look a minimum of 25 different roses in various categories and print out or copy what you finally decide on. Now, do you want a single rose, or a cluster of roses? Should the rose be a bud? Half opened? Fully opened? Should a single petal be falling off? What color should the rose be? Should it be more than one color? What about thorns? No thorns, a few thorns, a lot of thorns? Should the thorns appear to pierce your skin and show a drop of blood? Should the blood be red? How many drops? Should the rose have leaves? One stem branching off with a lot of leaves. Leaves branching directly off the rose stem? One leaf? Let’s say you want a lion tattoo. Is the lion laying down? Is it laying down on a rock? Is it laying down in grass ready to pounce? Is the lion standing? What is it standing on? Are there other lions around it? Is it in the process of roaring? Eating? Running? Is it looking over its shoulder? Do you want the full body or just the face of the lion? Once you make up your mind and have a more specific idea of what you want and copies of the pictures you got your ideas from, go to as many tattoo studios as you can. Look at the albums tattoo artists have of their actual work, they keep these in their private portfolios. This will not be the flash art on the wall. Be aware that most pictures are taken immediately after the tattoos are done. (Warning - the photos will have a little blood and swelling.) From the actual photographs of tattoos, did you find an artist who can render the kind of artwork that you want? A good tattoo artist will be able to translate your ideas into the tattoo body art that you want. Since the artist will have to work with your original artwork or photos, designing your own tattoo will also raise the cost of the tattoo. Even if you are an artist or a graphic designer, the tattoo artist will redraw your work. Remember tattoos are on flesh. Not on paper. There will be limitations that you are not familiar with, that the tattoo artist must take into consideration. |
