Tattoo Design

Basic foundations of tattooing is the tattoo design. Without the, what is there to tattoo?
A common mistake in the field is that a tattooist who can draw feels that their shop won't be respectable if they carry "storebought" flash or stock tattoo designs and insist on hand drawing every design on their shop walls. Don't fall into this category, because people have rally different tastes and a good stock of all types of designs from all types of artists will ensure something for everybody. is is good business sense to have a variety. If someone wants a custom design for themselves, no problem.

Personalized tattoos are great for sales and the customer walks away with a "one-of-a-kind". If you can't draw it, ask them to bring the design in themselves, or have a local artist do it for you. You can spend hours and hours on special designs for people who ordered them and might not ever return. So, if you're smart, get a deposit when someone wants you to draw up something special. Charge them for the time spent drawing it up. If they don't want to pay for that, tell them to find a design already made up and you'll be happy to put it on them.

Designs for tattoos are found everywhere. You should be able to copy just about anything and transfer it to the client. if you look around, good designs can be found from any sources; books, photos, cards, brochures, wall paper, posters, comics, advertisements, tv, magazines, etc. The size usually needs to be changed and often it will need to be modified for tattooing in some way. Not everything looks good on skin.
