What is the best format to send my tattoo artwork in?
Simple Answer The best format is a large jpg. If you can’t do that, then just send whatever you have and I will take care of it. You won’t be charged until you approve the proof I will send you so your tattoos aren’t just going to show up wrong. You get the final approval. In fact your order won’t go in to production until you approve it. I have turned small crummy artwork in to fairly nice tattoos but if your artwork really is small, fuzzy and low resolution I will let you know. Photos look great too. Technical Answer If you can, simply save your artwork as a jpg about double the size. So artwork for a 2″ x 2″ tattoo at 300 dpi is 600 pixels by 600 pixels. Anything between 600 pixels and 1,200 pixels will look great. I have CS4, CorelDraw12, Publisher, MS Word and other programs to convert your artwork to a nice clean jpg. Huge 11 MB graphic files will not make better tattoos since most of the tattoos I make are smaller 2″ x 2″ or 3″ x 4″ tattoos and huge graphics files are overkill.
