Choosing a Design
Finding a design that you like requires careful consideration. Look for an artist with practical skills and styles, and aim to create a lasting design you’ll be proud to display forever. Before meeting with an artist, decide on your tattoo’s theme, style, and color scheme.
Getting a Consultation
After thoroughly researching and visualizing your desired design, it’s time to connect with a tattoo artist. Schedule a consultation to discuss your ideas and make any necessary adjustments before setting an appointment date. Be open and honest with your artist, and bring reference materials for discussion. Leave a deposit during the consultation to show your commitment.
Getting a Tattoo
Designing a tattoo requires collaboration between the artist and the client. Bring examples of fonts, styles, color schemes, and shading schemes you like. Consider asking the tattooist to create a draft design before inking it permanently. Custom tattoo designs may cost more than flash tattoos but offer more extraordinary originality and personal meaning. Browse an artist’s portfolio to find someone whose style matches your vision. Trust is essential in ensuring a successful tattoo design, so save money for future changes or redraws.
