if you could make the bigger stars rainbow colors...starting from the top one going down, thatd be great. you know like the first bigger one purple, the second one blue, and so forth.

Sorry about that. I was just about to tell you my skin color. I'm very light-skinned so darker colors show up great on me. i would like to have one line blue, purple, red, and orange...in that order. i like the yellow on the outside of the star, maybe you could change the teal to red. and as far as the stereo a purple and blue maybe? ill let you decide that. just not teal. also random music notes and BOLD colored stars around the whole design. not too many but not too little. i dont want the tattoo to be crowded but i want it to be full enough.
May 27 2010 2:27pm
Also what is your skin tone? It might help me decide what colors would work well. Thanks =)
May 27 2010 2:25pm
More color what do you mean give me specifics. what would you like to see more stuff or just more color? do you like some of the colors if so, what ones and where example,

you could say, I love the boombox keep it the same thand the lines in the back the flesh colors I like those...or could you change the guitar colors? Could you add more color do the guitar? What is your favorite color? Let me know but thanks...I love it too.

i know im working you hard but it'll be worth it if you win! could you try something for me? take the stereo completely out. replace it with a guitar and have the piano keys wrapped around the guitar itself. make the guitar black and red and keep the colors for the keys...except darken the blue. remove the sheet music in the background completely. put all kinds of music notes around the whole thing, and some bold stars. i want to see how this will turn out.

thats hott. i'd like for the piano keys to be in the same order as the rainbow. no pink included. this has to wrap around from the bottom of my stomach to the top of my rib so remember that. this design is wide with not that much length. i want stars included as well.

Not all drawings are tattooable
May 22 2010 4:54pm
All artwork should be tattoo-friendly:
Lines in the artwork should not be too “tight”. No black line should have less that 2 mm space between it and any other line. No lightly colored or blank space within a darker colored area should be less than 2 mm in diameter.
Do not use colors in flash that are not commonly used in tattooing. “White” areas in flash are generally going to be skin tone. White should be used in flash SPARINGLY if at all as some tattooists won’t even use pure white. Fluorescent colors should not be used in flash, nor metallic colors.
Tattoo flash in general should have clean, clear distinct lines within the design. You can’t “sketch” a tattoo on the skin and tattoo flash is not sketched artwork. The popularity of “lineless” tattoo artwork is growing, but not commonplace at this time.
Keep the price of creating the actual tattoo (based on time required to tattoo it) in mind when designing the flash. Using 20 different colors in a 2 inch tattoo is going to really piss off any tattooist. In general, the larger the design the more colors and complexity the design can appropriately contain.

Common Mistakes that Make Flash LESS Tattoo-Friendly:
The line work is too tight. Ink spreads on skin over time, and if the design is too detailed for its size, the tattoo will bleed into a messy ink blob.
Blank areas in designs are not white. Skin comes in all colors, and pure white tends NOT to hold in skin (many tattooists won’t even use pure white). An area in your design that is left blank is not white, it is skin color.
Tattoo ink only comes in certain colors. Don’t use fluorescents or metalics in your flash.
Flash artwork in general should have clean, clear, distinct outlines. You can’t use a tattoo machine to “sketch” on someone’s skin. A “sketched look” can be created by an experienced tattoo artist, but this should be an intentional design choice by the tattoo artist, not as a standard for tattoo flash.
Marketability of designs. Just because you think a design is “cool”, doesn’t mean that anyone else wants to put it on his/her skin. When creating flash, you are not creating custom artwork. We support our artists’ creative efforts to come up with designs that are new and fresh. We want TattooFinder.com to be the best place to find artwork that sets new standards in the industry. HOWEVER, if you are planning on actually making SALES on your artwork, it would be nice if it happened BEFORE you died, in your own time. Most people get a tattoo because it has some type of meaning for them. If all people could create their own designs, then there would be no reason to sell tattoo flash. Tattoo flash should be created in an attempt to put out designs that people would create for themselves if they had the creative capabilities. Our customers will sometimes purchase flash because it is very different, creative and just “cool”, or because they think it will be fun and/or challenging to tattoo. But most of the time, flash is purchased with the purpose of being able to resell the designs to people in the form of tattoos. No one design will be right for all people, but each design that is created should be targeted for some particular type of person or group of people.
