Your tattoo! How do you find the right tattoo motif?

What kind of tattoo motif suits you?

If you're looking for your tattoo design, then we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the different tattoo styles. Which style do you like best? Do you want a realistic motif or would you prefer an abstract work of art? A large motif or rather small and delicate? Do you want a tattoo in color or do you prefer black and white?

There are so many different tattoo styles, such as New School, Realistic, Lettering or Maori - just to name a few styles. It is best to check with your tattoo artist about the respective advantages and disadvantages. This can help you find out which style best suits your project.

It is also important that you think about the meaning of the desired tattoo. What meaning should the tattoo have for you? Would you like to express something personal or are you simply looking for a beautiful work of art? Should it be more elegant and discreet or should it be wild and unusual?

Two other important aspects of choosing the right motif are the size and placement of the tattoo. Which body part would you like to get tattooed? How big should the tattoo be?

Some people opt for a smaller design as it is less noticeable and easier to hide. Others, on the other hand, prefer large tattoos that attract more attention. In addition, with increasing size, the works become more impressive, especially when it comes to detailed styles. What suits you best depends entirely on your personal taste. One of our tattoo artists will be happy to advise you on this.
