Have you purchased a tattoo ticket?
If so, here’s what you need to know!
As tattoos are recognised as “works of art” in this day and age, the concept of tattoo tickets have emerged. These tickets are sourced from original creators which give permission to use an existing artwork for a tattoo. While the openness to use these artworks from various artists is a testament to the creative spirit and respect of the tattoo culture; it can pose a challenge for tattoo artists in ensuring the longevity and quality of the final tattoo; as sometimes the tattoo tickets are not designed by tattoo artists.
Tattoo artists, with their extensive experience, have a great understanding of how tattoos heal, how they are placed and how the designs will stand the test of time. Sometimes, tattoo artists will find themselves in a position whereby they need to adapt the existing artwork as well as enhance them to better suit the process of tattooing. All sorts of factors such as, size, placement, and adaptability of the body’s natural contours are considered to ensure that the final result is visually aesthetic and ages gracefully.
We welcome anyone with tattoo tickets, but it’s essential to approach this with an open mind, as not all art can be turned into tattoo art so any adjustments may be necessary to ensure a sick tattoo!
