Tattoo Reference Photo Guide

Some larger tattoo projects need clear photos so I can properly plan placement, scale, and overall design.

This is especially helpful for areas like ribs, hips, thighs, back pieces, side body work, sleeves, and larger wraparound designs where flow and placement matter.

These photos are not for social media or public use. They are private design references used only to help build a tattoo that fits your body properly.

Not every project requires this, and I usually request these after we’ve had a consultation and discussed the direction of your tattoo.

If reference photos would help your project, I’ll send you a simple guide showing exactly what I need, including front, back, and side views, along with easy tips for taking the photos yourself at home.

Better planning creates stronger tattoos that fit your body and last well over time.
