Tattoo Design thoughts

**BertRoot** · 27th March 2008

As I have always had an affinity with Icarus I have made a decision to get a tattoo done between my shoulder blades that I have had a picture of for years.

How easy is it to get this converted to flash and do tattooists really agree with you bringing one in for them to do.

I have the 12" record cover as above and I drew it out using an Isograph a few years back but will have to have a dig for it at home three houses later.

I can see your thought process here
Am sure from talking to friends who have tattoo's that a lot of artists will be happy to use a drawing provided by the client.

Oh yeah I have gone in with pictures before but I was thinking of a pre done bit of flash for them to apply???

i only take my designs when i get mine done just make sure its the right size before you go and that its clear cos they dont always look right when theyre transfered over to the tracing paper, if you can get a high res scan or failing that vector graphics (i think thats the right one) where its more of a mathematical process for enlarging then you should be ok m8

if the tattooist wont use your design go somewhere else as well, theres plenty of poor tattooists that only do what they know
