Realistic Portrait Tattoo Design

I’m ready to commission a custom, realistic portrait tattoo and I need a skilled artist who can translate a photo of my choice into clean, tattoo-ready artwork. The finished piece should capture fine facial details, shading, and depth so it can be transferred to skin without losing definition. Here’s how I picture the process: • I’ll send you high-resolution reference photos and notes on placement and approximate size once we start. • You’ll sketch rough concepts first (digital or hand-drawn is fine) so I can request tweaks before you move to final line work and shading. • The final deliverable should include a print-ready stencil outline, a fully rendered grayscale version for shading reference, and a color mock-up if you prefer to work that way. • Files: layered PSD or Procreate file plus flattened high-res PNG. Acceptance criteria 1. Likeness of the portrait is immediately recognizable. 2. Lines are clean enough to transfer at actual tattoo size (no fuzzy edges when zoomed to 100%). 3. Shading guide shows clear light source and tonal gradations. If you have examples of previous portrait pieces, especially healed photos, please share them so I can gauge your style. Looking forward to collaborating and making this portrait unforgettable.
