Hi everyone!

I'm hoping to get a tattoo based on the attached image — the winged figure from the epigraph of Toni Morrison's Beloved. I love the original, but I don't want it to be a straight copy/paste.
I'd love if someone would be interested in tweaking/redrawing it so it works better as a tattoo. I'm definitely open to suggestions and brainstorming — cleaning up the lines, adjusting the wings, making it fit the placement better, whatever you think would work.

Placement: upper arm, right where it meets the shoulder. I'm picturing the semi-circle arch lining up with the very top of my arm, so it follows that curve.

Thanks for any input you might have!

Hello, hopefully not breaking any rules.
I am looking for someone to design a tattoo for me.
My mother passed last year and I am wanting to get a tattoo in her memory. She was a massive fan of the green man design and had them up around the house and in her garden.
I was hoping I could find someone to design an Australian version of the green man for me using Australian plants rather than the traditional european design. jh
The tattoo would be going on my upper arm so after something not small but also not huge if that helps.

Thank you

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a really special art project I worked on recently. A customer sent over a photo holding her much loved Reggie, along with a note that he would have been turning 11 this week. She lost him 6 months ago and wanted a clean line drawing of them together so she could get it tattooed.

I created a fineline portrait capture his squishy face and the tender way she held him, keeping the lines simple and smooth and trying hard to capture the emotion. Seeing the final tattoo on her arm along with her note about carrying a piece of him forever was such an emotional moment.

Pet loss is so hard, but turning those memories into minimal art is such a sweet way to honour them.

How have you remembered or honoured a pet you’ve lost? Do you prefer memorial tattoos, framed art, or something else?

Hello all my mom past away last year and I was thinking about getting my first tattoo to memorialize her. I drew up an idea of what I want, but I was wondering if any of you would like to help me cement an idea. This drawing is based off her favorite book series The Dark Tower by Stephen King. Would appreciate any drawings or feedback!

Hello,
My younger brother and I have been meaning to get a matching tattoo to commemorate our middle brother who died in 2020 when all three of us were still kids. It was a life shaking event but my youngest brother and I became much closer as a result. We want a matching tattoo to commemorate the brother we lost while also enshrining the relationship we have fostered from that tragedy.

All three of us used to love going to go fishing and jumping off of old wooden docks when we were growing up. There is nothing like watching the sunset over the marsh.

The concept is to have my youngest brother and I silhouetted in front of a sunset casting a single shadow (or perhaps three shadows?) on the dock behind us to represent our lost brother. My youngest brother is tall and lean, while I am short and broad. We are imagining a small-medium sized, grayscale piece that would go on our upper pecs. Neither of us is good at drawing so our best attempt is in the comments if I can figure out how to add it. Feel free to comment if you think you have any further questions or think you can hook us up with some art!

Adding small supporting details to custom geometric symbol tattoos is a great way to balance the overall design. While the main symbols turn names or words into hidden geometric shapes, adding tiny accent elements, like fine line spark stars, helps soften the geometry and frame the piece naturally on the skin.

Placing two distinct symbols side-by-side above the wrist creates a delicate layout. The addition of subtle starburst accents gives the artwork a bit of extra character while keeping the core meaning of the hidden words private and minimalist.

Hello Artists,

I am planning to get a tattoo but I am not able to find a good tattoo around my idea which is a mountain inside a puzzle piece which defines Mountains Complete me.

Do you have any good reference please send.

I’m in the process of a full sleeve. Im

planning to rework my upper arm as i just dont like how it came out years ago and want something that flows. I want to cover the flowers or blend them but keep the feather. I really like black and grey with a splash of color, specifically flowers, feathers, antlers, and a steer skull. Could you help me make it all flow without it looking too busy? My lower arm will be finished tomorrow. Thanks so much for any advice!

Hiii. I have this hand tattoo that looked better in my head vs now. Please don’t make fun of me!!! Everyone asks if it’s supposed to resemble palm lines and it literally wants supposed to I just wanted to accent my hand a little but cause I don’t wear jewelry. But anyways I want to fancy this up a little bit and make it more abstract/cover more of my hand while keeping the fine lines. I’m open to literally anything and I also want to include my palm but can anyone anywhere help with some ideas please 😭 thanks!!!

Hi! I would like to get a whimsical tattoo of a fairy garden, but not the typically cartoon-y mushroom vibe. I would like it to be more forest fairy than mushroom, tinker bell fairy if that makes sense.

Is the tattoo I want on one of my inner forearms. American traditional style, preferably, with the wrist end being the bottom. Can send pic of canvas area if desired.

Hey guys! My husband and I are looking to get matching Pierce the Veil tattoos featuring lyrics from Kissing in Cars. One of us would have “the first time I’ve seen love…” and the other would have “and the last I’ll ever need…”
The only problem is that I already have a quote tattooed on my chest, and I don’t really want any more tattoos that are just plain text. I’d love to incorporate the lyrics into some kind of design to make them feel more like actual pieces of art, but I’m having a hard time coming up with ideas.
I tend to like darker, more alternative designs. “Edgy” is probably the best word for it, as cringe as that sounds lol. Think skulls, spiders, etc. All of my tattoos are black and grey, with a couple of them having red accents. My husband doesn’t have any tattoos yet, so I’d love for the designs to complement each other without necessarily being identical.
The design doesn’t have to be a finished, polished piece, either! I can draw and would be happy to work off a rough sketch or build on an existing idea. I’m just horribly uncreative when it comes to coming up with concepts from scratch, so I could really use some help brainstorming something that would look good.
I’m also willing to pay $15 for a design I really like if anyone is interested in drawing something up!
Thanks in advance! :)

My childhood dog just passed away. I really love this altered version of “Sympathy” by Briton Riviere, where the dog is spectral. I would like a tattoo of it in a style similar to the following pictures: simple with minimal detail and shading. I really want the dog to still appear more transparent, so I understand if a bit more detail is necessary. I’d be happy to pay a little for the right one.

Hola!! En la primera foto les muestro los tatuajes que tengo en el brazo. El de los corderos fue el primero que me hice y lo amo, mi proyecto en ese momento era hacerme algo similar a lo que se ven la segunda imagen

pero en medio pasé una mala época y en medio de un duelo tomé la decisión de hacerme la flor como la tengo (primera imagen) y ahora que soy más consciente la odio, no me gusta su ubicación y me rompe el proyecto que yo quería hacerme… Les dejo como inspiración la tercera imagen…

Me encantaría poder hacerme algo que se viera más envolvente en el brazo, pero con esa flor en medio no sé cómo plantearlo. Me da ansiedad tenerla ahí.

Si a alguien le apetece proponer alguna idea estaría súper agradecida ❤️

I want to get a tattoo one day but I’m not sure where or what, but I know it has to with Godzilla

PLEASE HELP!!! Can be small or huge!!!

Something like any of the first 4 pictures but with my special baby’s nose, she passed a while ago and am looking for something to remind me of her

I’ve been thinking this over for a little while and if I can find the artist for it I’d love to get it.

Location: outer calf.

The idea is the balrog falling from the bridge of Khazad-dûm and slashing out with his fire lash. Instead of a depiction of Gandalf it would travel up my leg and wrap around my thigh. I’m curious if anyone would be willing to do a quick and dirty mock up to see if my idea is coming across as I intend.

So I recently just got the tattoo of the inky black cat. I am loving it cause I stumbled across it and it looks so much like my black cat! But now I want to get another that is in the design of my gray cat! I have been working an AI design but it just won't work the way I want it to. I will drop the AI design as well as a couple photos of my cat! Any help or people that are actually good with design or art would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!

Elements I want:

- Another hand behind the paw that is lighter than the one in front (just like in my tattoo)

- The same crescent shape as my tattoo without the design making my cat look so fat haha

- Longer tail that is a bit thinner than my tattoo since she has a thinner tail than my black cat

- Keep the half milk mustache that she has! This is very important to me lol!!!

Like I said, any help is appreciated and if I like the design, I am ABSOLUTELY willing to throw a little money your way! Thanks!!!

A longer sequence of geometric symbols takes serious precision to pull off, and this artist nailed the execution. Running six custom uppercase name symbols straight down the inner forearm creates a striking visual band that looks like a row of modern sigils.

What makes this piece look so crisp is the balance of depth and hand stability. Fine line work this detailed requires a super steady hand so the straight edges stay sharp and the circular curves meet perfectly. The end result is an ultra-clean, subtle piece of ink that carries multiple hidden names in plain sight.
