She doesn't have any tattoos. She's coming to this from the artistic/illustration side of things, but is getting really into the range of styles and images used in tattooing. Would be very interested in working with someone if they wanted to talk about a commission/design she could help them with (and she's VERY affordable just at the moment) - and also to see if anyone had any advice - are there tattoo artists who are happy to use other people's designs/anywhere to advertise or sell your work as a designer/seek commissions, would she be best advised to see if any existing studio/artist would be interested in working with her and her designs? Or do you really need to do the tattooing yourself if you want to get into the industry? Cheers

I think she would struggle to get regular commissions for tattoo designs unless she was doing them herself. Most decent tattooers won't copy a design without redrawing/changing it, if at all. I'd also add that I don't think some of the very fine lines in her work would translate well to skin.
Edit; re-read that and it came across quite negative, I do like the designs! If she wants to get into tattoos she should look at getting an apprenticship, if she doesn't actually want to tattoo its probably a bit of a non starter.

Loads of potential in those illustrations up above. Could all work as tattoos, maybe with some very minor differences. She got any tattoos? Is tattooing a trade she could see herself in?
hoops, both of those are rad.
