Tattoo Art

[Aoi Neko]

Hello guys, I'm anticipating to take apprenticship under a local tattoo parlor soon. I'm not really planning to do any needlework at this time, but the shop is looking for new ideas on popular tattoo work. Some of the currently popular ones include ice cream cones, candy, strawberries and cartoon characters. I feel some of them are a bit generic and that the inventory needs more spice.

Some ideas I came up with for my portfolio are My Little Pony tattoos (esp. Rainbow Dash), Nyan Cat, Invadar Zim, endangered animals and Egyptian style art. Any other ideas? I hate to say that most people in my town don't know about One Piece, so that may not be a good option. :sad:

Well, lots of people like mythical animals, like phoenixes, so that wouldn't be a bad theme, right? Also ancient civilizations in general. For example a good 'bracelet tattoo' would be the greek maiandros:

The ancient Norse runes and the ancient mayan logograms look pretty awesome too.

And for Pokemon fans, these are simply win.

What about a tattoo of an ice cream cone that has candy, strawberries, and cartoon characters inside?

I don't know much about tattoos, but I would also suggest:

-sphinx (maybe as a creature, not as a statue of a creature)
-owl (a wise one)
-robot (a robot)

I love Aztec tattoos they come from a rich past, so many motifs and structured geometrical patterns representing the symbol system of the ancient civilization. Next year I'm planning to get an Atec Tattoo
