Questions
What kind of designs are available for space tattoos?
You can find designs such as ringed planets like Saturn, starry skies and galaxies, and compositions combining them with the moon and stars. Besides fine line work drawn with only lines and dot work that creates shading (bokashi) with dots, there are also pieces that represent nebulae with color.
Is this different from star or moon tattoos?
Stars, moons, and suns can each be searched for as individual motifs. This page is a collection of works featuring the universe itself, such as planets and starry skies.
Are there any precautions when getting starry skies or nebulae in color?
Works that represent nebulae with color bleeding and gradients are expressions where differences in how colors are layered tend to vary greatly among artists. The finished look also changes significantly depending on whether only star dots are applied in solid black or if colors are applied broadly, so it's easier to communicate your vision by showing works that are close to your desired image during a consultation.
