The concept is a starting point, not a stencil

The useful part of an inspiration image is the direction it gives me. The final tattoo still needs to fit your placement, size, skin, visibility and long-term detail.

If this will be your first tattoo and you are still comparing directions, start with my first tattoo ideas guide. For a more specific brief, read about Ogham wording, birth-flower bouquets, butterfly compositions or lettering checks.

  1. 01

    Choose the subject

    Save the motif or feeling that matters, not every detail around it.

  2. 02

    Match the body area

    Forearms, shoulders, spines and sleeves each need different flow and spacing.

  3. 03

    Redraw it properly

    I adjust scale, contrast and detail so the final design belongs to you and can heal clearly.
