DIY Tattoo Design: Handwritten Tattoo Script

Image Credit: Flickr.com/Photos/TaraBreanne
Scripted tattoos are really popular and can be extremely common among tattoo art. So how can you make your script stand out from the crowd? Here's a really cool way to customize your tattoo into a one of a kind piece of art. Write your script in your own handwriting!
Wearing your heart on your sleeve may be overrated, but writing a love message is quite the opposite. Now, we don't recommend doodling on yourself with a tattoo needle, but you can give your tattoo designer a copy of your handwritten message to trace on your body.

Choosing the Right Tattoo Design for You

Tattoo removal is a booming business as a result of impulse tattoo decisions. Here are a few great tips for choosing your first tattoo design. This article offers several steps to reflect on before actually committing to your permanent ink print. The size of the original tattoo also determines the level of removal treatments in case you regret your decision.
A tattoo lasts forever. Don't rush into your design decision and end up with a design you will regret. Join some online tattoo galleries to get ideas, and don't make an impulse decision. When in doubt, just slow down a little before you get the actual ink. If this is going to be your first tattoo, don't go big. Small tattoos can hold just as much personal expression as a large piece. Also, with only a little 'skin in the game', small tattoos are easier to work around later if you have a change of heart and need a cover-up.

Tattoo Trials for the Novice

Here's a great alternative to tattooing before you're ready. This article recommends trying a test phase for tattoos before committing to the real thing. The article also suggests surveying friends and family that already have tattoos to learn from their experiences.
If you are underage, or not ready to make the permanent commitment, consider a temporary tattoo. Henna tattoos can give you an idea of how you will feel about your design and will wash off in a month or so. When you join a tattoo design gallery, you can even print out the designs and have them converted to a temporary tattoo to try out. If any of your friends have tattoos, talk to them to get an idea of how getting a tattoo was for them. Ask them questions... How much did it hurt? Who did your tattoo? Was the tattoo shop professional and clean? It's always best to talk to someone you know and trust.

Where Should I Put My First Tattoo?

There are many considerations when preparing to dive head first into your first tattoo. Design, placement, size, color and style are all huge factors in your novice tattoo experience. We've gathered a few tips on how to survive your first ink print. Think through these advisory points on placement and maintenance before committing to your first official tattoo.
Most people, and especially people new to tattoos, should avoid getting tattoos, on their hands, neck, or head and face. In fact, most shops will refuse to do the work unless it is obvious you are already ‘in the tattoo game'.The artist knows the possible negative reaction people may have to tattoos, and placing them in a highly visible spot only increases the possibility. The other concern with getting a hand or foot tattoo is the wear and contact that these areas of your body endure. For example, if you work with your hands, that would make a hand tattoo a poor choice. The tattoo will get distorted and would also be highly noticeable. For your feet, make sure you can commit to proper healing processes; eg. a 2-3 month process of being barefoot as much as possible and truly pampering your skin. 10. Talk with your artist about proper tattoo aftercare. Generally you should keep the tattoo bandaged overnight. Then, gently wash the area the next day. Do not scratch or rub your new tattoo. Once healed, you must use sun protection as much as possible, as the UV light will fade the colors. (This is another important consideration when determining the location of your tattoo.)

Should Parents Have Tattoos?

Tattoos, once highly frowned upon, are making a strong comeback. Tattoos are becoming increasingly more popular in main stream America even among parents and professionals. At Inflicting Ink we tattoo folks from all walks of life, mothers, CEOs, pastors, teachers and doctors. This article weighs in on the positive or negative influence of parents with tattoos. Which side of the table do you support?
I remember seeing my grandpa's tattoos as a kid. They were hard to make out because of his weathered skin and the fact that the ink had bled over the years. They were badges of honor from war. I just remember looking at the huge green blot on his arm, trying to trace the lines with my tiny finger, thinking wow, that's pretty bad*ss -- and that I wanted to be cool and have one too. But, I also wanted the story and glory that came with it. Twenty years and three tattoos later, I can't say I was ever a soldier in World War II, but I am still proud of the ink I've collected over the years -- in fact you wouldn't even know I had any had I not told you. If it's summer, though, you might see one peek out. Or, like last week, while I was on vacation in Miami. This is usually when I hear the comments.

What's Your Tattoo Style?

What’s your tattoo style? Is it a little mix of Old School and new school? Do you prefer the simplicity of realistic black and gray tattoos? Take your pick from our long list of tattoo styles. Whatever tattoo style you prefer  our experienced staff can handle it.  Check out the tattoo types and definitions listed below to find your tattoo style.

Traditional or “Old School” – This style uses bold, blue-black outlines, usually filled with solid red and green with rare additions of blue, yellow, brown and purple; and embellished with little or no shading (examples: Cherries, pin ups, roses, nautical stars, etc.).

Contemporary or “New School” – Bold, bright and in your face style. It includes contemporary and fantastical designs. This style contains more elaborate blending and shading with extensive coloring and heavy outlines.

Black and Gray or Realistic – This style uses only black ink in a variety of shades. By mixing black ink with distilled water it creates a “wash” where lighter shades can be produced. This is the most popular method of tattooing.

Tribal – This style is most recognizable with its dramatic use of aggressive dark lines in jagged symmetrical shapes and spread throughout the skin. These tattoos are more often done in bold black and skin tones.


Portraits – This style is simply the replication of a person, animal or any human realism. Most clients will bring in an actual picture so the artist can better capture the details. Portraits can be done in both color and black ink; however, many people find that black and gray is more realistic.
