What do tattoo artist services include?
A tattoo artist’s job is to permanently ink a design of your choosing onto your skin. Done well, this piece of art will stay with you for life – which is why you want to hire someone who knows their craft and preferably completed an apprenticeship in an established salon.Â
Depending on your preference, a tattoo artist can create a design for you, you can choose from pre-designed templates or you can come up with your own design. If you want a name, quote or meaningful phrase, you’ll get a pick of fonts or handwriting styles to choose from. This is all done in a sterile environment.Â
Complete design
Although it costs more to have a tattoo artist come up with an individual design for you, it allows you to have a professionally-designed tat that you’ll be proud of. They’ll work in consultation with you to get an idea of your preferences and styles, then come up with a design based on your input.Â
Tattoo typography
Simple words and phrases are a popular choice of tattoo – from the classic ‘Mum’ to names of loved ones or inspirational quotes. Tattoo artists can either handwrite these on your skin or you can pick a font together. As you’ll no doubt have learnt from photo galleries, it’s vital to triple check your spelling and grammar before getting anything inked – especially for foreign phrases and characters. Â
Tattoo coverup
Whether it’s the name of an ex or you’ve simply grown sick of an old tattoo, there comes a time when you might change your mind. While tattoo lasering is an option, you can often incorporate words or images into a new design that will give your skin a new lease of life.Â
Henna tattoo
If you’re keen on decorating your skin but you’re not sure about the commitment of a tattoo, you may prefer to speak to a henna tattoo artist. Henna art originates from ancient Egypt and India and lasts for around two weeks. Â

First tattoo

First tattoo ever?: Yes How many people is getting a tattoo?: 1 Placement and size for each tattoo (in centimetres): Left pec, left shoulder, left rear shoulder, and from left rear shoulder across back to right rear shoulder. Total tattoo area approximately 700cm2 (I suspect I’ve underestimated that one) Description of your idea: On the left pec, a leopard/lion’s head, in a regal pose more than a roar. On the corresponding rear shoulder a jackal in a Anubis/Egyptian style, across the shoulder blades/upper back a stag. The lion/Leopard represents my family crest which is a passant leopard, which dates back to Roman Empire via France, and of course Leo is my zodiac along with bastet through Egyptian zodiac, Anubis is the Other side to my Egyptian zodiac, corresponding with my cancer traits being an early Leo. it’s also a representation of my life with cats and dogs and The light and dark and so on. The stag represents masculinity and femininity with its antlers turning into flowers. The last one is the least original, I just happen to like it a lot. I prefer Lion work and patterm to gradient, however I’m open to colour. Interested in UV reactive inks if they’re not particularly poisonous haha. Regarding Patton, looking at French, Roman, English, Irish, and of course Egyptian symbolism. Have a look at the artwork by Rosella Picciani, as reference for symbolism. - Due date: Flexible
