How to describe a tattoo to a tattoo artist to get what you want

You may be wondering how to describe a tattoo to a tattoo artist in a way that makes it easy to get what you want.

I always recommend that people come up with a detailed description of their tattoo before they meet with their tattoo artist.

This way, the artist can perfectly create the artwork for them.

Still not sure, here are a few tips for creating a great description:

:- Start by describing the design in detail. What does it look like? Is it realistic? What colors are included? How large is it? Are any elements textured or layered?

:- Talk about how you feel about the design and whether you would feel comfortable having it permanently displayed on your body. If you’re not sure yet, bring photos of similar tattoos to help inspire the artist!

:- Describe any historical significance or personal meaning that the tattoo design has to you. This can help give your tattoo more context and make it more unique.

:- Always remember to thank the artist for their time and effort spent on your project!
