Heart Tattoo Qs ???

owlwink · 2009-12-09 15:55:58

Hey guys my girlfriend is looking into getting a tattoo of a heart somewhere on her back. She wants it done in the style of an actual human heart. Anyways she is hoping to get this done in black and white. I was wondering who and where would be the best place to get a high quality tattoo of a human heart in black and white…

Hey guys my girlfriend is looking into getting a tattoo of a heart somewhere on her back. She wants it done in the style of an actual human heart. Anyways she is hoping to get this done in black and white. I was wondering who and where would be the best place to get a high quality tattoo of a human heart in black and white with possibly a tiny hint of colour? Please note that she intends on adding more to this tattoo over time ie floral designs around the heart... She is just looking for advice for the initial piece as it will be the main image in the entire tattoo.

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a million,

Olwink

If she goes for a realistic looking heart it'd probably just look a little strange in black and white. Would she be looking for it to be stylized in any particular way? IE - looking like a sketch of a heart, an anatomical diagram, or just like a photocopied photo of a heart?

Hey man, sorry I never stated that. She is looking for something that would look like an anatomical diagram with a little leg room for stylisation, but nothing over the top. I'd love if I could even find some kind of site that has a collection of different variations of approaches to this to give her food for thought.

Any any help/comments appreciated.

Thanks man.

Just pulled up a bunch of pics on google images, which of these would be the kind of style that she'd be thinking of going for?

If she can narrow it down it'll help us give the best recommendation for her.

I personally got a bio-mechanical heart back in July and absolutely love it!

Hey man thanks so much for all the help so far. I showed her all of the links yousent me and this one would be the closest to what she is looking for. Although maybe a little more upright and a little broader around the width of it.

If you could source and give advice for any tattoos done in this style it would be amazing.

Hey owlwink, dunno if its exactly what youre looking for but this is part of my sleeve, there is some stylisation to soften it a little but in essence its a human heart... Picture looks a bit funny but it'll give you an idea.
