They’re pretty cartoony but I don’t think they really fit into a “style”. Sugar skull tattoos are pretty common, so the artist should know what you are talking about when you say it. Just find a good artist whose work you like and google some images. A good artist will do what you want, and you’ll know if you like it or not when they draw it up.

The artist made a terrible mistake in doing that tatoo, even if it was what the customer wanted. A professional tatto artist would have reworked the design to make it look presentable, or wouldn’t have done the tattoo at all.

It’s not very good. I’d say laser it.

My tow cents: are the flames supposed to be pink? They look about the same color as the snake’s tongue… I would ask the artist to go over them with a darker red/orange so they look more like flames. Also, there is one spot to the right of the nine where i think the outline needs to be filled in again.

Other than that it’s not too bad.

Hello. =) I don’t think we’re allowed to discuss techniques/practices on this forum unless you are a professional tattoo artist with proof, and then you can only do it on the professional forums. So I’ll just say your best bet is to get an apprenticeship or ask around at some tattoo shops in your area.

I like the designs, especially the Beetle however I would definitely want to see a picture of how the design translate onto the fabric before i buy the shirt. Perhaps put up pictures of the actual shirts once you have them made?
