How to Master the Art of Tattoos


Doing your own Tattoo designs and drawings are something that you may or may not have considered doing yourself. It is something you can work at and the more you practice the better you will become at them. Once you start to build a strong portfolio of Tattoo drawings and designs, the word will then get around to other people and they will want you to do some tattoo drawings for them.
After developing your skills you will be surprised what kind of art related things people will want you to do. Logos, simple illustrations and there are now a number of website you can submit your art to and get paid.
Here are few pointers.
If you are drawing tattoos for someone else, you will be able to discuss their exact requirements. When they describe what they want, they may have one version of what it looks like in their head where you may have another. Through discussion and talking, you can work with them for as long as it takes to meet somewhere that you are both happy. The goal here is for both parties to feel good about the finished tattoo and feel they you have a stunning tend result.
It is safe to say that every great tattoo comes first from a great tattoo drawing. No matter what you may think of tattoo drawings personally, always remember and keep in your mind that this tattoo drawing is very important to the person who is getting it, and you should feel really great they want to let you use their body as your canvas. Showing your work to the whole world. They will be wearing this permanent ink forever on their bodies so you need to take this into careful consideration when doing tattoos.
If the tattoo drawings are for yourself, make sure you get a second opinion before running off to the tattoo parlor, get at least two opinions even better. Getting the opinions of your tattoo designs will give you the confidence you need to actually get it inked and we have seen a lot of bad tattoo designs and drawings around.
Make sure your tattoo drawings are the absolute best you can do before giving it to your client. If you are not fully happy with it do not be afraid to say no and not give it away. Remember you are as only as good as your last tattoo drawing and you want the wearer to be showing the tattoo off to everyone and hopefully get more business for you through referrals.
Themes are a consideration for your tattoos.
There are a lot of themes that you can do your tattoo drawings for. Maybe you specialize and become renown for a specific style of tattoo drawings. A few themes to consider are: Celtic designs, tribal tattoos, dragon tattoos and custom tattoos. Many people choose original and custom tattoos because they want something special and unique on their body. However there are lots of tattoo websites that offer thousands of tattoo drawings that you could look at and get some ideas.
