Where to Find Tattoo Designs
If you cannot find the design you want from among those you see in the tattoo parlors, what are you
supposed to do? You do not want a custom design but you want something that is unique and different
from the designs you have seen. It can be frustrating, especially if you do not know exactly what you
want. You cannot define what you want but you know you will recognize it when you see it. Is there an
easier way to find tattoo designs than going from shop to shop hoping that something will call out to
you?
Thanks to the Internet, you can look through thousands of different tattoo designs and find the one that
appeals to you. You will find everything from animals to even logos from various family sects such as the
Celts, Scots and others. You will also find many other common organizations featured, and the designs
are online you can take as long as you want to look through everything available before you locate the
design that appeals to you the most. You will find many different sites that have tattoo designs available
which gives you a wider selection from which to choose than by going to the tattoo shops and looking
around. For the most part the shops are only going to offer those designs most commonly requested, so
their selection is more limited than what you can find online.
Once you find the design you want, how do you obtain that design in order to take it to a tattoo artist?
In most cases, you can print the design you want from your home computer and take it with you to the
tattoo artist. There is no guarantee which tattoo artist will be able to provide the tattoo design you want
but at least you know what you want and you only need to find the artist that can do what you want.
Make sure you choose someone who is experienced so that your design will come out the way you want
it or you may find yourself struggling with the results because it does not look like it did in the picture.
You have to allow some leeway when you are asking for something that is different from what the
tattoo shop normally does but there is no reason you should not still receive high quality work.
Important Tips about Becoming a Tattoo Artist
Just because you are a good artists does not necessarily mean you will make a good tattoo artist. There
is a big difference between creating a picture on paper or canvas and doing it on someone’s skin. For
one thing, you have to be careful and make certain the tools you use are clean and sterile in order to
prevent your customer from developing an infection. Whether you open your own tattoo parlor or go to
work for someone else, you must be certain to protect your own reputation. If the tools you are using
are not sterile, do not use them even if it means losing your job—it is better to lose your job than be
sued because someone developed an infection.
Not all of the tattoos you will provide will be from the drawings your shop has available. Sometimes
customers will want custom designs, but until you have enough experience to know you can do what the
customer wants, do not attempt it. You can ask another tattoo artist in your shop to do it and refer the
customer to another shop you know does custom designs. The skin on a customer’s body is not the
place to practice your art skills and although custom designs are all likely to be something you have not
attempted, they should at least be similar to something you have already done before you attempt to
do that tattoo. Your customer is paying a good price for your services, so if you are not sure you can do
what they want be honest and let him or her know that.
