tattoo art consultation


Question Posted Sunday July 27 2008, 1:20 pm

I'm not getting a tattoo for at least six months, but I already have the tattoo I want clearly in my mind (and where I want it). I'm not sure how I will get a stencil in to the tattoo artist because I don't have one and I can't draw to save my life. I want a tattoo of a bunny (the kind from Disney's Snow White) and some paw prints around leading to it. It going to start at the top of my foot and end at my ankle. I know I'm going to go to an art consultation, but I'm a bit confused, that happens with the tattoo artist, right? Or someone else? Because I have a hard time imagining a tattoo artist (you know, they typical tattooed burly men) sitting down with my and sketching bunny wabbits.

And also, price ranges for this type of tattoo would be great, and how much time they take to get done.

You sit down with the tatto artist and tell him EXACTLY what you just said. Then theyll draw a sketch, and you say what changes (like if the paw prints are too close or something right)
Then they transfer it onto your skin and pretty much tattoo over it
So as long as your happy with the sketch the tattoo artist does, youll be fine. just make sure they understand what you want
I´d say the price would be around $100 and probably about an hour. (at least this is what it would be in my area)

I got a tattoo yesterday. What he did was take the picture of what I wanted and made it into a transfer and put it on my skin. Then he basically just tattooed over it.
If you find a picture of what you want, the same might happen for you. If not, the tattoo artist will draw it out for you - it's their job.
What you should be focusing on is finding a good tattoo parlour in the mean time. Go and talk to them, ask them about the process, how long it will take, price, etc. When you've visited a few places, decide which one you feel more comfortable with.
It's a bit hard to estimate a price because I don't know where you are in the world, what size you want it etc. Just ask around. You have 6 months to make it perfect :)
