Do you want to create tattoo designs that truly represent you? According to Zhimpa Moreno and Dennis Veayra, it all comes down to observing, learning and exploring until you find something that identifies you. Here are some tips to help you find your own unique style:
Analyze: Observe the art and nature around you. Examine the way people draw and create designs. Capture what inspires you and makes you think “this is my thing”.
Try different techniques. Experiment with thick and thin lines, shading, geometric shapes, symbolism, and realistic imagery. Play around with colors and patterns until you find something that flows naturally for you.
Search yourself. What topics are you passionate about? What story do you want to tell through your work? An authentic style reflects who you are and what matters to you. Let that guide your inspiration.
Don’t be afraid to evolve. As you continue to observe and explore, your style will likely mature and change over time. Take this as a sign of creative progress.
The journey of finding your own style is unique, so stay open and continue to experiment. Something special will emerge from within when you are ready. Have fun with the process!
