Design Your Own Tattoo - What to Do If You Can't Draw

When you're trying to come up with a tattoo design of your own, it can be quite frustrating trying to do so when your skills at drawing is limited and just not that good. But following some of the tips below you'll be on your way to creating a customized look that's all your own.


Keep in mind that tattoo designs are not invented by the actual drawing on paper themselves. They are first laid out from ideas that comes to our minds. Imagination plays a big part in creating a tattoo design, but you can still get by with just simple ideas. Drawing or sketching with simple lines and marks can still convey what you want to express in a design. You don't have to be a fantastic artist to let your ideas of a tattoo come alive.


First thing you should know is "tattoos" should have a meaning. The design you want to create should be something that you have a connection with that you want to portray on your skin. Be patience and take your time, the design itself wont look any better rushing though it. Instead of trying to draw your design, you can write down the quality's you want, the colors, size, shading , certain details and so forth. Make sure you point out the most important details you really want in the overall design.


Collecting pictures of other tattoos, is another way to start your own design. Keep a file or folder handy and write little notes about why you liked about the design. Taking little parts from here and there, your design will start evolving into a real tattoo. If you collected several other pictures of tattoos, emphasize to the artist the details of what you may want to incorporate in your own. By showing him this material you have collected, the tattoo artist should be able to draw you a design that is uniquely styled by your own specifications. Also don't settle for already made designs you find in on the walls of tattoo parlors. Be unique and design your own tattoo.


The tattooing artist is a very talented individual when interpreting custom tattoo ideas. Explaining to him about the ideas of what you want in a tattoo, he can come up with a drawing himself. Also you can look into getting a friend or family member to draw a rendition of the design if you cant draw yourself. The draft of the tattoo design don't have to be perfect. What matters is the final drawing before it gets stenciled and prepared for tattooing. Always review the drawing carefully an don't accept any design that is not to your satisfaction.
