  1. Wow, This seems much more unanimous than I was expecting. Especially from a tattoo forum. I didn't think it would be that big of a deal. I'll pass along the information to my friend. Does everything you guys have been saying sort of apply for a shoulder tattoo as well, or is most of this aversion because it's a ring? Would you also be against me designing it in that case as well? Do you not think that it would instill more meaning having a good friend work on the tattoo design? Also, are the simpler designs I posted under the lions just as bad? Thanks for all the responses.
  2. Yeah, I can see alot of them are simplistic, but then I saw some like this lion and thought they could be more detailed: Maybe there is something im overlooking though. As far as taking it to a tattooer for advice, That was my reasoning for coming to this forum. I figured there would be some tattooers here. Does it make a huge difference to find someone in person before I can make any changes? I just wanted to get something close enough to viable that I wouldn't have to start from scratch after taking it to a tattoo shop. I I right to assume something like this would work if the others couldn't? : Graeme, I don't know what they have looked into or if they already have a tattooer. They have never been tattooed before either. Is it hard to get someone because it's so painful, or is it because its just takes a lot more skill to do?
  3. Ok, good to know. What are some things I would have to do to make these designs able to be tattooed? What are the limiting factors?(Like make the branches thicker? Get rid of the sky or gradients? ) I would be fine with letting a tattooer design it, but my friend specifically wanted me to do it. I assume he will get the tattooers opinion\changes when he brings it in as well, but it would help to get it in the ball park first to make it less of a hassle.
  4. Hello everyone. My friend got married and wanted me to design a ring tattoo. I feel really out of my element with this though. I made some designs, but I don't know if they are unrealistic for such a small area. Any subjective advice or critique from other artists would be appreciated as well. Here are the 3 design sketches he liked most. D is the first letter of his name and K is the first letter of hers. Is the sickness and health variation in the corner better? for the one with a flower fading into the skull it will say "sickness and health till death" going from thorns into vine into the flower. I'm not sure what to do with the font either. It's sort of time sensitive, which is why I'm opting to ask here rather than the advice thread. Thanks so much for any help given.
