Her name is Turtle. I adopted her as a stray, so we celebrate her birthday on the same day as my own. She is very much still alive.

She came to my doorstep pregnant, we helped her with her kittens, who all got good homes, and she just never left. I left some kitten pics at the end.

I want something personal that heals well. I know that paw/nose prints generally don't. I want a small/medium tattoo. Preferably some fur pattern.

I was recently in the Mental Hospital when a met another patient who is a Tattoo Artist, I sat down with him and came up with these Drafts.

Im thinking of getting the Texas Tattoo on my right Calf then the Bluebonnet with color right next to it, to start a sleeve but not sure on that yet

And these pics are simply Drafts he only had printer paper and a makeshift pen

This Would be my first Tattoo

The first three pictures show my arm, and the remaining images are my inspiration.

I really like the asymmetrical composition, with some elements being slightly larger and others smaller. I'm also a big fan of fine dot work.

I'd love to include both a butterfly and a moth in the design. I really like the melting effect in the first inspiration picture, so maybe the butterfly at the bottom could be replaced with a moth. If possible, I'd be really appreciate it if the moth could also be used to cover the small sun tattoo near the bottom. It can be a little darker than the butterfly if that helps achieve a better cover-up.

The goal is to fill the empty spaces between my existing tattoos while keeping everything balanced and cohesive. I'd also like to leave a bit of extra space around Pikachu, as I'm planning to have it covered up and turned into a Raichu soon.

I'm happy to pay €20 for my favorite design.

Please, no AI-generated designs.

Hoping someone can fix this design for me... It's meant to be from elbow/beginning of forearm area to hand (bc my original cover up is was too small so bare with me) but the main issue I'm having with the design is the TREE in the middle that I want to use to connect the Wolverine Claws (scar cover up tattoo) and the Phoenix/Jean Grey (abuser name cover up tattoo, which will need to be made to fit my hand bc my artist says it's too small)

I like the photo of the DNA helix on the tree without the Phoenix and I like the rainbow leaves on the one tree, but I also want it to be on fire or have fire somewhere for the Phoenix/tail to emerge from? I would've even mind if the flame WAS the tail if that would help? Oh! And I want the "claw marks" to turn into the roots, but I can't blend it/make them look right/flow naturally!

Also IDK what to do with the black bar that's for the name cover up bc I can't really draw a "ribbon" and I also don't want the design to be "too feminine" so I kind of like the solid black bar or maybe a black smudge mark would look nice? Like I'm wiping his name off of me 😂

Anyway, I hope that someone can help me bc I suck a drawing and I'm only somewhat okay with Photoshop, but I'm not as good as I used to be with it. Any advice would be appreciated. Again, I want this to be a POWERFUL tattoo that has meaning without making it "girly" bc I'm a masculine person with a "woman's experience" I guess you could say 🥹

SORRY FOR THE PHOTO BOMB! I'M VERY OVERWHELMED AND TRYING TO GET ENOUGH IMAGES TOGETHER TO MAKE IT CLEAR WHAT I WANT/MAKE IT WORK!

I want to combine the historic story of stamford bridge, where 1 viking stopped whole army and combine it with cheerleading as ICU cheerleading world championship logo. I don't mind if the helmet would have christian cross symbol too because around that time vikings started to become christian. Here's the symbol idea which i want to improve

Most important features I want to save from this symbol is the sharp moon feature down and sharp horn feature up

I want to get a tattoo of the ranger ship from the interstellar movie on the burn mark on my bicep. But i think it looks like a bus in one similar tattoo i found on the internet and doesn't look like a spaceship. Although i love the movie and love space in general but i want people to understand that its a spaceship in the tattoo. Is their anyway of making it look like a spaceship or making the tattoo design better.

Attaching images of the tattoo i found online, my burn mark and some reference design images of the ranger ship from interstellar.

i need help creating this design into a tattoo. i want everything positioned as they are. the master sword behind link and and the sapphire in the very lower front

Hey! I’m a tattoo artist based in Baltimore.
My work is whimsical, illustrative, and storybook-inspired—think soft, playful, and detailed designs with a lot of personality. I also have flash available and can do custom pieces in my style.
Thanks for looking 💛

“Subway rat made eye contact with me and said ‘join us. When the train comes we slide under the tracks and feel it rumble over us like a warm thunderstorm. We live forever and we love to live.’ I said no thank you. I am too large. He turned away from me and I cried.”

It’s a rather somber poem and I’d ask that that would be reflected in any potential ideas.

Provided is a quick concept I had (feel free to ignore it if you so wish). I’d like more than one rat. But of note they are all scurrying towards the train.

Just trying to see a mock up of what this could look like!

Appreciate anyone taking a crack at it!

Heyy~~

Basically in short, I live in a small town, therefore, there aren't many tattoo artists.

So I want to get the design from somewhere else, but they will do the tattooing I have a specific style and idea I'm going for,

I'll add some of my inspo here

If anybody knows anyone who does commissions like these and r fit in the style wise I'll be glad to hear!! <3

(((Also not sure this is the right sub

So sorry upfront)))

Edit: thanks for anybody who's reaching out I'm currently at work and a bit busy in general

So please don't get upset if I can't replay immediately 🙏🏻

Hi,

I’m not sure if it’s appropriate here but I’m looking for someone to draw a tattoo I have in mind. I have some ideas posted here, but I want to change it up a bit. It would be approx 3-4 inches around, I’d like to have it possibly on my forearm or near my wrist area. Fine line with some shading and nothing super bold. Ideally, I’d like a mother holding two angel babies. I don’t mind venmo’ing if needed. I do like the second photo of them looking away but maybe holding two? One in each arm? Or like the third photo but nicer hair/face? Thanks!

Hi everyone. I don’t know if I am in the right sub but it’s worth a shot. I lost my soul cat yesterday. He was with me through stage IV cancer at 33 with a newborn and a miscarriage. I am truly heartbroken. I would like to get a tattoo to honor him but can’t find someone willing to turn this picture into a drawing. I would like an outline of just him. I want to be able to tell it was him vs some random cat. I don’t want any background, just an outline of him and nwhatever features are good to be able to recognize him. The second photo is all I’ve been able to get. Can someone help by chance?

I know its not a lot to work with. But a spider web in 1 corner, maybe 2? Or ornaments of some sort. Maybe a wave in a corner. And a smug look on its face. Like a smirk.

Hiya! I've been looking for tattoo ideas and designs that hold my three cats in one tattoo, but I don't want the basic paw print tattoo, or the nose print or ear outline like I've seen mostly.

Also I don't really like tattoos in color (for me personally, people who wear them usually rock them) so I won't go for their eyes either.

Any ideas? :( also!! It would likely go on my upper forearm, if that helps.

Here are my cats for reference

I have these two stick figures I wanted to get tattooed. They're for my daughters, each based on a different dance pose (they're both in dance) The size proportions are off, not sure if that can be adjusted. They'll be fairly small when I get them.

What I really wanted to do was a splash of color behind each of them. The one on the left, I wanted to do with the colors on picture 2 (it's the dress she wore in her first dance solo, where the post comes from).

The one on the right, I wanted to do something similar the colors in picture 3. She's autistic and the rainbow often associated with neurodivergence. That's someone else's tattoo, that I was using for reference for the idea.

Thank you for looking!!
