Tattoo designs
Tattoos are very personal and the design you choose should be something you will love for your lifetime.
Flash designs are pre-drawn designs that are fairly simple and come in a large variety of options. I have books available at the studio and a selection of my own work for you to look through. You may choose any of these designs or use them for inspiration for a unique design that is yours alone.
You may choose a pre-drawn design for your tattoo that you have found online, as long as the design is not owned or copyrighted by anyone else. I will need to make adjustments for some designs to make them tattoo/ stencil friendly.
I will not tattoo another artist's design unless it has been released for public use.
I am happy to use your own original art, or art created specifically for you by someone else, for your tattoo design.
I will not use a design created by another tattoo artist, who expects you to use their tattoo services. This is an unethical practice which I will never, knowingly take part in.
If you request an original design for your tattoo, it takes time. In some cases, a long time. (I am currently a full-time nurse and my availability changes, frequently.) Reference images are helpful in many cases. Especially if you have a very specific idea in mind. Even a quick sketch will help me get started. I will let you know when the design is complete, and we can arrange a time for you to come to the studio to approve the design or request changes and make an appointment for the tattoo procedure. I will not email, text or otherwise send a design to you. This is an industry wide policy to protect our work as artists. If you don't understand this policy, please feel free to use google to find a more thorough explanation.
