Any tattoo design with an EXCLUSIVE banner indicates that the design is ONLY available for sale as a Tattoo Friendly® single tattoo design on the TattooFinder.com website.

TattooFinder.com Limited Edition Tattoo Designs

Limited Edition Designs on TattooFinder.com are EXCLUSIVE designs that we offer in limited supply. We purposefully restrict the sales of these designs to ONE SALE WORLDWIDE per 30 day period because some of our customers find greater value in our doing so. In the context of fine art, a Limited Edition Design might be compared to a lithograph (with regards to scarcity).

Tattoo Sourcebook Review by Lou Bardach

Tattoo Sourcebook by Tattoofinder
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

As one of the contributing authors, I'm obviously biased, but the reception this book has received has been overwhelmingly positive! In the fall of 2008 Barnes & Noble ordered 20,000 copies of the book as one of their promotional items for the holiday season. The book was sold out online by October. The second printing for Barnes & Noble is complete and the book is once again available in stores and on their website (as of November, 2009).

Getting Tattooed: What to Expect

Getting Tattooed: What to Expect

Tattoo Friendly(R) Artwork

What is Tattoo Friendly® Artwork?

By the Editors of TattooFinder.com

Getting a tattoo is a creative and personal process, so it’s no surprise that imaginations can really run wild during the design search. Some artwork is just so impressive that you can’t help but want to memorialize it on your skin. Unfortunately, not all of your ideas or the great artwork that inspires you will be Tattoo Friendly® — that is, possible to recreate on the skin as you originally intended it and having the best potential to stay in good condition as it ages.

Choosing a Tattooist and Studio

Selecting a Tattooist & Studio

By the Editors of TattooFinder.com

When your car transmission needs work or your laptop gives you that haunting fatal error, you have to seek out someone you can trust with something very important to you. Selecting a tattooist is a similar situation — you need professional assistance and how you make your choice will definitely affect your experience and the final outcome. If you don’t make an educated decision when looking for help, you could end up with a transmission or a computer that’s still busted . . . or a poorly done, permanent tattoo. Before you’re inked, educate yourself on your options so you can feel comfortable putting some level of trust in the person you choose to ink you.

Tattooing is a trade that consists of specific knowledge and skills. The practice is generally learned through an apprenticeship with one tattooist (the master) teaching a student the craft. But, while the apprenticeship tradition has produced some incredible talent over the years, it can fall victim to “weak links in the chain” and some apprenticeships simply don’t produce good tattooists. And to compound the issue, there is nothing preventing a “disreputable” tattooist from apprenticing others and producing more poorly trained tattooists.

Importance of Stencils for Tattoos

Importance of Stencils for Tattoos

By the Editors of TattooFinder.com

One of the major advantages of single tattoo design sale websites like TattooFinder.com is that all designs are Tattoo Friendly™ and come with the stencil your tattooist will need to apply them. But what are stencils, exactly, and why are they important?
