Tattoo FAQ

Here you will find 9 tips for a successful tattoo motif search.

Flash

There are a wide variety of shapes and styles; classics such as zodiac signs and fineline tattoos, but also motifs such as flowers, animals, Viking or biker designs, Japanese tattoo templates and much more. These motifs are called tattoo flash.

Flashes are specially designed tattoo motifs that are ideal as tattoo templates; they are easy to tattoo and the motif is clearly visible on the skin later on.

Custom tattoos

Do you already have a specific idea of your upcoming tattoo, but can't find an image that matches your idea? Or would you like a completely individual tattoo that nobody else is wearing?

Then you should look around for a tattoo artist who does so-called custom tattoos. On our platform, you will find the member artist of your choice who will create motifs according to your individual wishes and ideas

Whether you want a Maori tattoo that stretches across your whole arm, a tattoo of a Native American scene on your back or a small butterfly on your bottom that nobody else is wearing.

Your Menber artist will draw the motif for you, taking your body proportions into account. You can also contribute your own ideas and concepts.

Custom tattoos are tattoo motifs made to customer specifications and naturally remain unique.

Portrait

Would you like a portrait tattoo of your family or your pet?

Our member artists are able to engrave such tattoos in almost photo quality, but they need a good photo as a template. A passport-sized photo is not enough; the photo should be at least as large as the tattoo itself. It should be of high quality; all facial features should be clearly recognizable and the image must be sharp and rich in contrast.

Books

Bookshops are real treasure troves for your tattoo motif.

Especially in modern second-hand bookshops or in the book departments of department stores, you can often find discounted, high-quality books on a wide variety of topics: Anyone looking for realistic bear or tiger motifs will find what they are looking for here, as will anyone interested in works of art by Dali or Rembrand or researching motifs from Celtic culture.

And no joke: illustrations in children's books also often make excellent tattoo motifs.

Illustrations of the world of Native Americans, Vikings or other cultures are often perfect for your tattoo motif, as are animal pictures in nature guides for children.

Records / CD Cover

Record or CD covers are often true graphic works of art, which make excellent tattoo templates for die-hard fans: no wonder, as bands often hire top-class artists such as H.R. Giger to design their record covers. Various motifs by bands such as Motörhead, Iron Maiden or Slayer have become real tattoo classics!

Comics

Clear outlines, dynamic and colorful; similarities that apply to both comics and tattoos.

Mickey Mouse & Co. have long been popular tattoo motifs, but with the manga boom, comic stores are literally flooded with potential tattoo motifs. And there is something for every taste: tough, gun-toting action heroes, bare-breasted beauties with dream dimensions or even fantasy creatures.

Just take another look in your local comic store and you'll be amazed at how many motifs you'll find.

Internet

The wealth of images that can now be retrieved from the Internet is almost unlimited. Google allows you to display images on a specific topic directly.

The possibilities of finding what you are looking for on the Internet are practically as endless as the World Wide Web itself. Because there is practically nothing here that doesn't exist; it's just a matter of finding it in the gigantic jungle of data.

Tattoo Magazine

In tattoo magazines you will always find first-class tattoo motifs in a wide variety of styles.

Everything is possible

Nowadays, anything is possible in the tattoo scene; there is no longer any motif that cannot be turned into a tattoo.

Holograms or the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel in original size perhaps excluded. So you can consider practically anything you see around you as a tattoo motif.

From the logo on your skateboard to postcard motifs to bar codes or graffiti under a railroad bridge, from pictures from the tool catalog to the label of your favorite whiskey to ornaments on your grandmother's cupboard: almost anything can be transformed into a tattoo motif - let your imagination and creativity run wild!
