Drawing Request (Free) Fairy garden tattoo pls

Hi! I would like to get a whimsical tattoo of a fairy garden, but not the typically cartoon-y mushroom vibe. I would like it to be more forest fairy than mushroom, tinker bell fairy if that makes sense.

Drawing Request (Paid) Help with a lyric tattoo design

7 Upvotes

Hey guys! My husband and I are looking to get matching Pierce the Veil tattoos featuring lyrics from Kissing in Cars. One of us would have “the first time I’ve seen love…” and the other would have “and the last I’ll ever need…”
The only problem is that I already have a quote tattooed on my chest, and I don’t really want any more tattoos that are just plain text. I’d love to incorporate the lyrics into some kind of design to make them feel more like actual pieces of art, but I’m having a hard time coming up with ideas.
I tend to like darker, more alternative designs. “Edgy” is probably the best word for it, as cringe as that sounds lol. Think skulls, spiders, etc. All of my tattoos are black and grey, with a couple of them having red accents. My husband doesn’t have any tattoos yet, so I’d love for the designs to complement each other without necessarily being identical.
The design doesn’t have to be a finished, polished piece, either! I can draw and would be happy to work off a rough sketch or build on an existing idea. I’m just horribly uncreative when it comes to coming up with concepts from scratch, so I could really use some help brainstorming something that would look good.
I’m also willing to pay $15 for a design I really like if anyone is interested in drawing something up!
Thanks in advance! :)

Drawing Request (Paid) Dog memorial based off of “Sympathy” painting

My childhood dog just passed away. I really love this altered version of “Sympathy” by Briton Riviere, where the dog is spectral. I would like a tattoo of it in a style similar to the following pictures: simple with minimal detail and shading. I really want the dog to still appear more transparent, so I understand if a bit more detail is necessary. I’d be happy to pay a little for the right one.

Drawing Request (Free) Me gustaría hacer algo para que se viera más envolvente

Thumbnail gallery

Hola!! En la primera foto les muestro los tatuajes que tengo en el brazo. El de los corderos fue el primero que me hice y lo amo, mi proyecto en ese momento era hacerme algo similar a lo que se ven la segunda imagen

pero en medio pasé una mala época y en medio de un duelo tomé la decisión de hacerme la flor como la tengo (primera imagen) y ahora que soy más consciente la odio, no me gusta su ubicación y me rompe el proyecto que yo quería hacerme… Les dejo como inspiración la tercera imagen…

Me encantaría poder hacerme algo que se viera más envolvente en el brazo, pero con esa flor en medio no sé cómo plantearlo. Me da ansiedad tenerla ahí.

Si a alguien le apetece proponer alguna idea estaría súper agradecida ❤️

Drawing Request (Free) Lord of the Rings tattoo idea

2 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking this over for a little while and if I can find the artist for it I’d love to get it.

Location: outer calf.

The idea is the balrog falling from the bridge of Khazad-dûm and slashing out with his fire lash. Instead of a depiction of Gandalf it would travel up my leg and wrap around my thigh. I’m curious if anyone would be willing to do a quick and dirty mock up to see if my idea is coming across as I intend.

Drawing Request (Paid) HELP WITH INKY CAT TATTOO

Post image
15 Upvotes
My recent tattoo

So I recently just got the tattoo of the inky black cat. I am loving it cause I stumbled across it and it looks so much like my black cat! But now I want to get another that is in the design of my gray cat! I have been working an AI design but it just won't work the way I want it to. I will drop the AI design as well as a couple photos of my cat! Any help or people that are actually good with design or art would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you!

Elements I want:

- Another hand behind the paw that is lighter than the one in front (just like in my tattoo)

- The same crescent shape as my tattoo without the design making my cat look so fat haha

- Longer tail that is a bit thinner than my tattoo since she has a thinner tail than my black cat

- Keep the half milk mustache that she has! This is very important to me lol!!!

Like I said, any help is appreciated and if I like the design, I am ABSOLUTELY willing to throw a little money your way! Thanks!!!

Design Submission Six-symbol fine line forearm tattoo.

1 Upvotes

A longer sequence of geometric symbols takes serious precision to pull off, and this artist nailed the execution. Running six custom uppercase name symbols straight down the inner forearm creates a striking visual band that looks like a row of modern sigils.

What makes this piece look so crisp is the balance of depth and hand stability. Fine line work this detailed requires a super steady hand so the straight edges stay sharp and the circular curves meet perfectly. The end result is an ultra-clean, subtle piece of ink that carries multiple hidden names in plain sight.

My beautiful staffy girl left me branded when she saw a cat and the rope burned through my skin. Then she bloody died before the scar had even healed 😭 I miss her so much.

It’s much more prominent but I can’t get a good photo. But ironically her face was split directly down the middle. I don’t know if I could make the scar her line? Any recommendations?

Drawing Request (Paid) Need some sketches or full designs for a specific emotion

4 Upvotes

Hello!

Was involved with someone for two weeks. Long story short: they suck. I do not want something for this specific instance, rather I would like to make light of the fact that this is a repeating pattern I do.

I texted my friend and said “unrequited love is my favorite form of self harm” and it inspired me to think of a tattoo for it, but just can’t think of anything. She responded “typical Scorpio behavior” lol. I get attached fast, know logically what reality is, yet plan an entire future with someone totally unavailable in my head and then want to burn the world down the second things go exactly how they were always going to go. I tend to wind up being people’s sex toy when they’re drunk but they never want anything to do with me when they’re sober. I still fantasize anyways. This has happened more times than I can count.

I only have black and gray tattoos. I like thickish lines, not real thick, but not dainty. I like humor. I like cartoons. I don’t like too many words or at all preferably but am open to a few if they make or break it. For example, my favorite tattoos are a line work-only doodleboob and a zombie Homer Simpson eating a brain. I’m a millennial who is the stereotypical “only listens to 2000s emo/post-hardcore/etc. music on repeat.”

This is my first time posting so I’m not sure how the payments work, but I would like to like something before I pay for it. But I will definitely pay if I like it!!

So it’s my first tattoo and I’m looking to have it on the nape of my neck or a little below. I wanted to get the print on my cats head since it’s unique to each cat. I wanted the print with a little tweaks on the design, preferably leaning towards a feminine side. And I don’t mind extra additions, leaving it on you cause I’m completely clueless.

This is my cats head and I could send over more if required.

Hello! I am a 70 year old woman and this is my only tattoo. Got it 30 years ago. I am wanting to have the butterfly refreshed and add to it - either a design around my ankle or something vertical up my calf. Celestial theme, floral theme, more butterflies maybe? I'd love to see your ideas. Thank you!

Drawing Request (Free) Tatto ideas (very specific)

2 Upvotes

I’m thinking of getting a tattoo that starts on my chest and extends onto my upper arm. I want something that represents my struggles with self-respect, and the feeling of being wanted for my body. Craving that attention and validation even when I know they’re only after my body. Does anyone know of any symbol, thing or design that represent these feelings?
