Mununkulus Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Hey, I've been thinking about getting a tattoo for a while now, and finally this autumn, I wanna get it done. I already have an idea in mind about what it should look like, but I'm terribly bad at drawing stuff myself. So I've been looking around the internet tryin to find sites or tattoo communities that might be able to help me solve this problem. Basically I'm looking for creative people who would be willing to help me put my idea to paper so that I can take it to the tattoo artist. Is that how it's usually done ? Can I do that in this forum or are there specialized sites for this kind of requests ? best regards, M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 The best "creative person" in this case is a tattoo artist. Find somebody who does tattoos that you really love and ask them to draw and tattoo what you've been thinking about. Welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SStu Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 What @Graeme said. That and bring printed references. They don't need to be exact or specific. Once you've found the artist that does work you love, leave all the creative process up to him/her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mununkulus Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 thanks for the nice answers. I guess my 2nd question would be the following: I live in Luxembourg, and we dont have a lot of tattoo artists in the first place and only 1 rather known one, whose work however isnt really the kind of stuff i'm looking for. how do i best find a suited artist ? I guess germany or france would be the nearest to go to and with a higher pool of talent, but I'm not quite sure how to start looking for the right kind of artist. any hints on where to look for tattoo artists in europe and what to look out for when chosing ?

Graeme Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 I'm guessing you're talking about Dan Sinnes? Yeah, his stuff is amazing but if it isn't your style, it isn't your style. What are you looking for specifically? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mununkulus Posted August 3, 2013 Author Share Posted August 3, 2013 For the first one, it's rather simple. something that combines my love for basketball with my number (9). This would be rather easy to get done I guess. For the 2nd one, I was gonna go for something with a 3d effect along the lines of this: Insane 3D tattoos | tattoo but smaller and on my back. I really love those 3d effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
