Question of the Week - Designing a Tattoo When you Can't Draw
Sunday July 9, 2006
Q:I am looking for an idea of a whole back tattoo. I have looked in your gallery and other websites and I can't find anything that even comes close to what I am envisioning. I have wanted it for awhile and I am a crappy artist. Do you know of any websites that would help me in finding my idea or any pictures that you know of?
A:Your tattoo artist is your best resource for realizing an idea. Take them a few examples, your thoughts and maybe a rough drawing--even if it's not good, just something to give them an idea, and they should be able to draw up what you want. It may take more than one attempt and they may charge a small artist's fee, but it is the best way to get exactly what you want.

Look to Tech., Not Talent. Paint Shop Pro, a little practice, pay attention to transperancies percentages, starting and ending background colors and the essential multi-redo setup tool and take scanned art, or web captured art and begin creating. Everyone messes up, so don’t sweat it!
Cut, paste, erase, add, airbrush…it only takes a little dedication and time.
Good Luck
If you haven’t solved your problem yet of getting your back piece drawn….contact me with your idea and let me see if I can come up with something. I specialize in custom tattoos, portraits, etc. Sincerely…Patti Jo of “One Eyed Jack’s TATTOOS…On The Road Again”
