COOL LINKS:  Resources, Amusement & more...   Updated 10/5/11

DESIGN CREATION:

Voodoo Tattoo Studio is a "custom design" studio, however, we respect our clients' vision and taste, and encourage clients to show us anything that's inspired them (when words just aren't enough!).   Lex and Michelle will then create a design from whatever their client has brought in, specifically customized and personalized to the client's desires.  We would encourage you not to purchase any design online you'd like us to use as reference: simply email us the link with a description specifying the design (if necessary).

Here are more tattoo design resources/indexes.  

http://www.vanishingtattoo.com 

http://www.wowtattoos.com - this site also includes an ambigram generator.

http://www.tattoo-art.com

http://www.tattoosbydesign.com - this site has a comprehensive symbol index.

Of course, you could utilize Google's Image Search:  http://images.google.com 

We've found several websites that have many cool and unique tattoo fonts/lettering styles.  Here are a few links: http://www.tattoofonts.net and http://www.tattoofont.orgPrint out or email what you like & we'll customize it until the design is exactly what you're looking for.
