tattoo design

Inked body image

A tattoo design is the artwork or pattern intended to be permanently inked into skin.

The term covers everything from flash art on parlor walls to custom pieces created for individual clients.

Someone choosing a tattoo might browse designs for months, commission an artist, or walk in and pick something off the wall: She's still deciding on a tattoo design for her sleeve.
