At Bone & Blossom Tattoo Studio, we’ve heard it all. From the client who mixed up a dragon and a dolphin, to the one who wanted “that guy from that show” without remembering the name, unclear or unusual tattoo requests are part of the job. While some of these stories make us laugh, they also highlight something important: how artists and clients can work together to bring a vision to life—even when that vision starts out a little fuzzy.

January is here—bringing fresh energy, big goals, and the perfect excuse to finally commit to that tattoo you’ve been dreaming about. Whether you’re planning a meaningful custom piece or mapping out a full sleeve, this is the ideal time to get ahead of the game.

A tattoo portfolio isn’t just a collection of your work—it’s your calling card, your brand, and your best sales tool. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or an emerging artist, the way you showcase your tattoos will determine the type of clients you attract.

The tattoo industry has always evolved alongside culture, art, and technology—but in today’s digital age, social media has made trends spread faster than ever.
