Ok, so I’m gonna make this short and sweet. There are two tattoo designs that I’m looking at to get. I have an example of both, but want to change a few things on them. I have went to a few local tattoo artists, but their drawing weren’t what I was looking for.
The first tattoo I’m looking for a design to is basically a very similar version of this tattoo only with the American flag. The designs I have gotten from artists have been circular when I stressed that I wanted it square.
I would like to keep the crayon look of it. And would like it to be around 3″ tall and 4.5″ wide. The tear design doesn’t have to be exactly the same, but I would like it as close as possible because it would show the American flag pretty well.
With the other I would like it to be roughly 1.5″ tall by 2.25″ wide. I would like the border to be a simple woodland camo around 1/4″ thick all the way around. The letter don’t have to be changed, I like the rough look of design.
Thanks guys and gals for any help.
Well see I am a go big or go home kind of guy, but on tattoos I’m only gonna go so big. Plus I gotta leave room for other designs in the future lol.
And that first tattoo looks horrid, good idea though
Yea it does look bad after I cropped it, but the colors look better in the original pic. And the artists I’ve been to were supposed to be some of the best around. Might end up tracing the design minus the flag and then putting the flag in. But gonna wait to do that and let a professional do it first.
No matter what you have heard or what you did to the picture the tattoo that you posted is not well done at all. If you go to that tattooist you will get a shit tattoo.
I think what you are trying to do needs to be larger than what you stated you want. The square vrs round thing is a communication issues with your artist, you just need to be firm and tell them what you want. If you want this tattoo to be good, however, you really need to be thinking larger scale, IMHO.
You said you wanted to make room for other pieces, why not just do that now or save up for it. I can’t speak for anyone but myself, but now that I have some serious work I *almost* regret getting smaller stuff because it limits the space.
My vote: Either make this an important piece and get it in the right size or pass on it. If not, you run the risk of getting a half assed tattoo that you won’t love.
You know, that’s not a bad idea. I like it and after thinking about it for a few minutes, how about having the top star corner sticking out on a flag pole with one of spear ends, kinda like it poked through, and then the bottom stripe end coming out too?
Yep, that sounds awesome.

Yeah, after reading back over how big I said I wanted it, I do want it bigger than that. I want it more like 5″ x like 7.5″.
