Here is a good example of what to expect when you send me reference images that you want your tattoo based on. You may like the idea, or style of a certain piece but copying verbatim is not cool, someone worked hard on that. Instead let’s put in some work and give you something based on the images you like, just more refined. Here is the finished healed tattoo, as well as my line drawing next to the reference image she had sent me. Different look, same subject matter. Now its one of a kind…just like you! Sara is always open to my ideas and letting me do my thing. Trusting your tattoo artist to make changes will almost always result in a stronger design that is suited to their strengths, and that they are stoked about doing. So keep an open mind! Artists want to make art.
