Patchwork Tattoo Designs

Separate small pieces with bare skin left between them, built up a few at a time. Eight sheets and four of them on skin.

Every tattoo image on this site is a generated illustration. None of it is work by this artist and none of it records a client result.

Worth knowing before you choose

The gaps are the design. Patchwork is a set of separate pieces with bare skin left between them, and that space is doing as much work as the drawings: fill it in later and what you have is a sleeve, which is a different thing and not easily undone. That is the one decision worth making early rather than discovering halfway through. The practical appeal is real though. Each piece is small and its own short sitting, so it can be built a few at a time across years instead of booked as one long day, and nothing has to match anything else. Putting a bold traditional swallow beside a fine-line crescent is the point of it rather than a mistake.

Or describe what you actually want

None of these has to be it. Say what is closest, what you would change, where it goes and roughly how big, and the drawing comes back before anything is booked.
