There are a million and one tattoo designs on the Internet. Inevitably, the first few minutes of the tattoo session will be creating the ideal image for your tattoo. To get the most out of your tattoo time, come prepared with your own tattoo design ready for the artist.

Things You'll Need

• Tracing paper
• Fine sharpie pen
• Tattoo design

Instructions

1. Research the image. The first step is to find an image or images that you want to incorporate into the tattoo. Each time you find an image, make sure to print it off for later use.

2. Gather the images. Once you have all of the images ready, gather them together and place them on a flat surface in the exact places you wish for them to appear in the overall image.

3. Trace the final image. Tattoo artists use tracing paper all the time to sketch out the image for your new tattoo. Lay the tracing paper over the images you have chosen and trace the general image onto the tracing paper with the fine sharpie.

4. Bring the originals to the tattoo parlor to capture the image precisely. The only difference between your tattoo image and the image the artist will use will be the fine details.
