Graffiti Tattoo Design

If your interested in getting a graffiti tattoo there are a number of things to keep in mind, especially if your looking to get a custom design. The first thing is to observe as much urban art as you can. Pay attention to the designs you see painted in city neighborhoods. Carry a disposable camera and snap shots of art that impresses you. Check the library for books that display urban art. Look for graffiti tattoos in tattoo magazines and at the many online sources. If you see someone wearing a graffiti tattoo you admire, compliment it and ask for the name of the shop. Talking to the artists there and looking through urban tattoo designs in their books can help inspire your own custom tattoo. Take your designs to a reputable tattoo shop with a talented urban artist. Ask to see photos of previous work. Show the artist your design and if necessary, ask for it to be completed. Photos of urban tattoos or artwork you admire can help him or her narrow down the style. And the final thing to remember when getting your graffiti tattoo is to sit completely still. Many urban designs can be quite complicated and you don’t want to move and end up ruining you cool design.
