The best software for designing tattoos is a tattoo artist that you talk to and give reference material to. That’s one of the things they get paid to do. Just go talk to one.

the best software is the human brain with artistic skills, a pencil and pad haha…

tattoos are not perfect either dude. the design can be perfect but once it’s on your skin it will most likely not be an exact 100% copy, unless its a real simple design and a good tattoo artist.

just remember you get what you pay for unless you have the hook up lol

Unless you are a tattoo artist yourself, designing your own tattoo is a bad idea. What i would suggest you do is get together a bunch of references, doesnt matter how many really, enough to get your point across. Go talk to a tattoo artist about your idea, outline every important detail, but allow him to adjust it to make it suitable for a tattoo. Let the artist draw it out himself, and continue to talk with him/her and refine it until its perfect.
