CHOOSING A CUSTOM TATTOO DESIGN SUBJECT

What do you want your tattoo to be of? What will it depict? Choosing the subject of your custom tattoo design is the first step in planning you custom piece. It should be about something that matters to you. A person, pet, hobby, a life event, or something you just really love like a character from a movie or religious gods like Lord Shiva or Lord Ganesha.

FINDING A TATTOO STYLE

When planning your custom tattoo design, it’s a good idea to know what style you’d like. Tattoo styles are each influenced by the culture from which they come.

Here are just a few of the tattoo styles that are widely used that you could consider for your custom tattoo design:

Neo Traditional
Dotism & Geometry
Minimalistic
Tribal
Celtic

CHOOSING A TATTOO ARTIST

At this stage you’re going to need to find an artist to do the work. When considering a tattoo artist in India, look for an artist who specialises in the style you had in mind. You can find this out by asking the artist up front, but you can usually tell by checking out their portfolio of previous work. Plan on taking the time to sit down with your artist to discuss how you’d like to combine your tattoo subject and your chosen style. A good artist will tell you ahead of time their concerns with your piece (if they have any) and they should walk through the design with you to get a good understanding of what you want from your custom tattoo design.

IMAGE REFERENCES

Being prepared helps! Spend some time looking online or at the library. The more you have with you to describe what you are imagining, the better. We usually recommend not only looking at tattoos but at photographs of the subject matter. For example, if you are looking to get a travel related tattoo you could bring: photos of adventure tattoos you like and photographs of places you like to visit, bikes, cars, pictures of horizons, mountains and vice versa. It helps to better understand what it is you like and create a unique design for you.
