Welcome to r/DrawMyTattoo!

This is a community for tattoo design enthusiasts to share their tattoos, inspiration, designs, and requests so that they can plan their next tattoo. This is NOT a subreddit for finalised tattoo designs, it is only to get ideas and rough drawings to help envision what you might want.

A licensed tattoo artist is the only person who should be designing your tattoo. r/DrawMyTattoo is only here to help you make plans, not finish them. No requesting to be paid.

This subreddit is for entertainment purposes only.

Tattoo artists have the knowledge and experience to create appropriate designs. A layperson on the internet, even if they are a good artist, will not. Many elements are necessary for a good tattoo design that a layperson will be familiar with.

  1. Any talking of pricing, charging or payment in any form including unwanted DM's to users will result in a ban. This is for fun only!!

  2. Trolling, Advertising, Promotion, contests etc. WILL get you banned.

For requests: Please try to keep them simple, it will greatly increase your chances of getting a response. Be aware that designs created here should be a starting point only, and your tattoo artist will need to make changes or even start from scratch to ensure that you will be getting a good tattoo that will last for decades.

Looking for an American Trad snow owl.

On the night after my son was born, I went home to re-up on some supplies since we’d been in the hospital for a few days, and it was going to be a few more. When I went outside to hit my vape and catch my breath to process everything, only to look up and see a snow owl perched on top of my apartment building looking down right at me. It was a surreal moment. So now it’s an image that is forever linked in my mind to my son.

I have one more spot open on my patchwork trad sleeve arm and I’d like to get a snow owl for my son, however I can’t really find any trad versions of this. Only trad versions of regular owls, or hyper realistic versions of snow owls.

Would love if anyone can help out.

Draw my first bigger tattoo

I found this design online that I liked, but I’m not sure about the waves. I do like them and they could make sense as I do like the ocean and have lived near it since birth. But I was thinking of doing maybe something related to my love for traveling abroad and open my horizons

So I thought about either making it the world map on the round part instead of the waves or I have been trying to imagine it as view from a plane window , with part of the wing and everything.

Would someone like to give it a try or has any suggestions ? I was thinking of the calf for placement.

Thank you !! Cheers

Disney Sketch Art Tattoo Style

I'm dying to get some new tattoos in the style I'm showing below. I want characters from different Disney movies. (The more I get the better). I would like to get arts from these movies:

Brother Bear, Cars, Coco, Ratatoullie, Toy Story and Bolt. Also some extra that isn´t disney related: Kung Fu Panda, Madagascar, Ice Age, Bee Movie and How To Train Your Dragon.

If you want to include characters from other movies or even other studios feel free to do so

Need help with making my ideas cohesive

So I was thinking of a tattoo on my right hand/wrist area and so far that arm has wolves on it so I was hoping to stay with that overall theme. Somehow I wanted to incorporate my Gemini zodiac into something pretty and somewhat delicate, while making sure it's a tattoo that will last and not look like a total smudge years from now. I love the dual nature of my zodiac(It definitely fits) but I also didn't want something too generic. I have lots of ideas but I'm not very good at putting them together. I do not have space on the palm side of my wrist or forearm. That's already tatted.

Anyone willing to help with ideas on how to bring this together?

Cover up help for tattoo regrets

So I have some pretty bad tattoos that I got when I was 18. I was in a pretty shitty relationship and was only allowed to get tattoos that my boyfriend at the time approved of/came up with (I know this sounds silly). I really want to cover these but I'm really struggling with what to put over them as they're pretty dark. Is there anyone that could help? I can message pictures :) Thank you

Need ideas for shoulder tattoo

Hi! Currently I have a quote on my one pec and olive tree branches around it. I want to keep the somewhat Roman style tying into my arm. I was thinking something like this with vines and branches. I was looking to either go to the elbow or at least midway down the arm (Polo length). I figured this would be enough art for the polo length but if I did to elbow what else could I add? Also what are some ideas for the bicep that fit this style (Not necessarily the skull but the Roman style). Additionally I am open to other ideas to in place of this. Anything is appreciated, thanks!!

First tattoo - Polaroid picture of two hands holding each other

So basically I work in Healthcare and have had the opportunity to be there for people and become close with them while they are dying or when they are very very sick and have no one there. I want one of the hands to be gloved to signify medical personnel but also keeping a boundary and the words "always holding hands" on the Polaroid. I would like the art to be black and gray and be simple if possible

Very challenging Tattoo request

So, this is going to sound weird.

A badass looking bumble bee dragon-insect with like 20 bumble bee style wings that breathes out bugs onto a field with three large flowers visible: a sunflower, a buttercup, and a cherry blossom

A raccoon that's a friend of us

Can somebody design a racoon that's part of the mob? Maybe a suit, a fedora hat, maybe a Tommy gun, whatever. Possibly a Martin scorcese aesthetic or a sopranos aesthetic

Valley of the shadow of death

Hello, I have a started a religious sleeve and one of my favorite scriptures is psalms 23:4 (even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will fear no evil) I though it would be really cool to put an image to the scripture but I’d like an original design since all the others I saw were kind of tacky. Thanks in advance.

Rocky and Bullwinkle

Any ideas on how to make this a tattoo for best friends? We’re girls. The few (actual) tattoos I’ve seen are…. Not great. Just brainstorming ideas…

“I am wild” from Les Mis

Hello! I am getting a tattoo at the end of the month of a phrase from my favorite book, Les Mis. I’m wanting “I am wild” but I’m struggling with how I want it to look. Wondering if anyone could make a basic idea! I think I like the “I am” in a more serious font with the “wild” in a cursive but I’m really not sure. I’ve only gotten one other tattoo so I really don’t know what kinds of “fonts” there are.

Thank you!
