The closest tattoo shop near me the artist told me just to come back on Saturday walk ins. they do them every Saturday. Some I assume would be hard I always feel like I'm being rude asking for the art.
It all depends on the artwork. A lot of times the tattoo artist will have to modify a drawing to make it a successful tattoo design. So if your sister’s feelings might get hurt because it’s not the way she designed it, then I personally wouldn’t do it. But, it’s not a bad idea either. Just make sure you research the tattoo artist first, to make sure their style of artwork is similar.
Of course. A visual representation may be a better way, since trying to put a description into words may not always work out. I had a client that defined everything with the word “edgy.” When I asked him to describe what that meant, he used the word edgy to describe the word edgy. Oh how I wish he had brought in a picture.
Letters and numbers don’t matter much, so long as it will remain legible in years to come. Just remember that a shop minimum is the lowest they can go. At my shop, the minimum is $100, if the design the client brings to one of our artists is only going to take 10 minutes, I’ll suggest maybe doubling up and doing another small tattoo at the same time.
