I'm definitely not a tattoo artist but I do want a trad American cutthroat trout. I did a mockup on procreate

I just want it to be floral or plant like I’ll toss in a few bucks for designs too I’m just desperate asf

I’ve not shown my family the tattoo so it needs to hide the original well

Seeking advice on beautiful tomato tattoo designs. Any recommendations?

I'm 18 now and i want a tat me and my brother are both getting one this weekend please I'm panicking and I want something either for us or my passed grandma

Hoping to toss around some ideas on what to put on scars from my gyno surgery last year. Both sides are overall pretty smooth/flat. They’re 13 months old here, but I’ll wait at least until the 2 year mark for my wallet’s sake. My concern with tattooing over them is that the design will scream “Look at me! I’m a cover up” as opposed to looking just like a chest piece in general.

I’ve considered somehow doing the creation of Adam if it wouldn’t look super basic. I’m a black and grey kind of guy. I’m pretty into art and philosophy if that helps.

TIA!

Wanted to dedicate one of my legs to be West African culture. However I can’t find any tribal/trad tattoos for that specific culture without it looking like it’s a poly tattoo. If you know any artists or designs or where to look. It would be most appreciative! If not oh well.

So, I have these 2 angelfish tattooed on me, and I want it turned into just 1 slightly larger angelfish and I used chatgpt to make that happen, but. Well it's AI and you can tell because some things just look AI right? I would love it if someone can redo it and make it not look like AI because I don't wanna send it to my tattoo artist and say hey put this ai fish on me, and have something that a human touched up to look proper so she can then take it and know it's all correct and add her own flare to it and what not. Please?

I'm looking for artists with similar styles to the photos attached. I'm specifically looking for a scene of a crab and a ram ( my sons' zodiac signs) in black and gray on my forearm.

I'm located in the Midwest, but travel and costs are really not an issue.

To be clear I'm not looking to copy or rip off any of these artists! Just trying to broaden my scope and see what's out there.

Can u design me a tribal tattoo for my pelvic region until my back that will match my current pubic tattoo

Hello! Very new here so apologies if I do anything incorrectly.

I am seeking a sketch referencing the Cleveland Guardians homerun celebration. Essentially I would like the helmet from the reference on the ground in front of a sword stuck into the ground.

Thank you to anyone who is able/willing to help :)

Ideas are appreciated for this kind of nebulous idea! Will my imaginings even work as a tattoo? It would be small (2 inches prob?).

Just got my first tattoo. I want to get another one and spent the last few days scouring the internet for some designs. I'm not an artist by a long shot and would prefer someone design it for me. I tried spending time with an artist but couldn't come up with anything that I'd like.

If someone has designs that they've already made or would like to make, I'll get it inked if it clicks for me. Even though I've marked it for a free drawing request, I'll for sure buy you a coffee if I love the design.

I'll get it inked on either the tricep or calf. Would prefer simple line designs or filled in black.

TIA!

I want to get a tattoo of my pet snake but I don’t want it to just be a snake; I want something weird but something that I can still connect to him; any ideas?

I’ve wanted one for a while and want to combine all the things that have shaped me but they don’t all go together. So I need someone to just draw something up and keep going until I find something I like. Those things are my sports teams (Bills, Yankees, Sabres) the sport of baseball, The Simpsons, The Teenaged Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Rochester, NY my hometown. No idea how you combine those into a full sleeve tattoo.

Hi there!

There is a part of me that wants to somehow memorialize M13 (the Globular cluster of stars in the constellation hercules) with the Aricebo message.

The problem is, if you look at it... it doesn't translate to tattoo very well. If I just got the M13 as a bunch of stars/dots clustered together, it would look like a wound or birthmark or maybe even a rorschach painting.

So I was thinking of having one big "star" to represent the main cluster and then some smaller stars exploding from it. With my minimal artistic ability, I have tried to show what I mean.

And then for the aricebo message, I was wondering if there was any possible way to make it to where it would not blur over time?

I don't have MUCH to pay but I would happily pay someone for their work on this

I would really like this to be woodcut/engraved style! I for the life of me can’t get it right

There is a cool trick in modern graphic design where full names or words get broken down into basic geometric building blocks, circles, squares, and straight lines.

When you stack and overlap letters into a single frame, the brain stops reading it as text and starts seeing it as pure art. This set of three symbols on the inner forearm shows how different geometric frames (like square bases versus open curved lines) create a balanced visual sequence. It allows someone to carry deeply personal words without ever having to spell them out out loud.

This is the beauty of these designs, meaningful and yet discreet.
