Absolutely. Bringing reference images is one of the best things you can do to help your artist understand your vision. You can bring photos, screenshots, sketches, or mood boards. Anything that captures the style, feel, or elements you're drawn to will be helpful. You don't need to bring a finished design. References help your artist create something custom-built for your body and your style, which is always better than tattooing someone else's art directly.

‍

After your consultation, your artist will sketch a design based on your ideas. You'll typically see the design on the day of your appointment. This is standard practice in most professional studios, as artists use that time to refine work right up until it's ready. If you need significant revisions, that may require rescheduling to allow the artist adequate time to redraw.

Trust the process. Your artist has the training and experience to translate your vision into something that works beautifully as a tattoo on skin.

‍

In most cases, designs are revealed at the start of your appointment. Artists spend considerable time finalizing work close to your session and sharing unfinished work early can lead to confusion. That said, for very large or complex pieces spanning multiple sessions, some artists may share a draft in advance. This varies by artist. Ask during your consultation if an early preview is important to you.

‍

We can use online designs as reference or inspiration, but we do not copy another tattoo artist's work verbatim. Doing so is considered unethical in the tattoo industry and disrespectful to the original artist. If you love a design you found online, bring it in as a reference and your artist will create a custom interpretation that captures what you love about it without stealing someone else's art. The result will be more unique and personal anyway.
