For about a decade, I was diligent at sending out a monthly email newsletter to anyone who signed up on my tattoo website. Each newsletter would have available designs that anyone could sign up for.
It gained a substantial popularity over the years, some designs having interest from 20 people! However each design was only tattooed once. I suppose there were some exceptions such as a client who wanted a design to match his brothers after he passed away. But generally, I had to choose who received the design and it was not an easy choice. Most of the time, I would put the names on a spinner and choose randomly.
This month I've decided to continue the newsletter designs, after 2-3 years of custom-only work. This time, instead of every month I will put about four designs out every 2 months. Here are the designs for this month. I was very happy to see that the same day the newsletter was sent, each design had at least one person interested.
I feel that drawing suggestions of where the tattoo could go on a body part helps people to envision the drawing as an actual tattoo. In fact, I had the idea to do this from the only time I took ayahuasca, so many years ago now, after my question about where to take the tattoo business. I love to put my artwork out to the world and later find out who I drew it for.
