The most popular use: pet and memorial tattoos
Pet portrait tattoos are one of the most requested custom pieces. A fine line outline of your dog or cat keeps the shape of the ears, the eyes and the fur pattern that make them recognizable, without the cost of a hand-drawn portrait for every idea you want to test.
For memorial tattoos, a photo of a person, a handwritten note or a meaningful place can become a design in the style you choose. Try a few styles and bring the one you love to your artist.
Tips for a good result
Use a sharp photo with the subject facing the camera and good light. Crop out other people and busy backgrounds. If the likeness is not right, run it again or switch to a style with more detail such as realism or black and grey; fine line and minimalist designs simplify on purpose.
