How to Make a 3D Demon Tattoo

When drawing your tattoo design of a demon, it's best to think about what you want to draw, first you write or draw little sketches of what you want to have as a design, you could do this in a few ways with drawing little thumbnails or writing small notes and descriptions of what you want designed.

Demon tattoos commonly have very exaggerated features such as eyes and teeth.



Believe it or not all demon artwork doesn't depict the creature with horns.



Some people like to create a portrait of good vs evil, perhaps a battle scene between an angel and demon or even a full fledged battle of creatures waging war on a back piece tattoo.

If you’ve made any attempt at all to try and find the right tattoo design, you know how hard it can be if you’re just starting from scratch with nothing but a Google search field. Sure, there are a lot of sites, but weeding through the bad ones and then finding the style that suits you can take what seems like an eternity.

However, part of the tattoo design process is doing the research and being 100% certain that you have chosen the perfect tattoo.

Enter online tattoo design galleries.

Traditionally, people would head on down to the local tattoo parlor and flip through the design portfolio of the artists and look on the studio wall to see if any of the designs sparked an interest, but that often wasn’t enough to make an informed decision.

Although there’s hundreds of designs to choose from at the tattoo parlor, some of the tattoo design galleries that are found online can provide you thousands and thousands of high quality design to choose from in the comfort of your own home.

You can browse through them at your leisure over time, discuss them with friends, etc.




Tribal tattoos can Express Many Things for Different People

We now see people from all ethnic backgrounds wearing tattoos from many cultures, whether Native American, African, Maori, Celtic as well as many others.

What are the reasons that these symbols are suddenly so popular? For some people, it can be a way to get in touch with their own background. However, for the majority it’s a form of self-expression that many of us simply seem to resonate with. In one article on tribal tattoos, the author suggests it can be a way to “mine the collective unconscious.”

Of course, it’s common for someone to walk into a tattoo parlor and think that a particular design looks cool and choose it, without having any deeper reason. There is nothing wrong with choosing a tattoo in this way. It’s similar to the way people choose any form of art, such as a painting for the living room. You don’t have to be an expert on art to know how a painting makes you feel. It’s even more so with a tattoo, which is a very intimate form of art that you actually wear on your body!
Tribal tattoos are probably more popular today simply because our global culture allows us to find out more about what’s out there. We can go online and see what tattoos from different parts of the world look like. It’s similar to why people are getting to like a wider variety of foods. Twenty years ago, you didn’t see many Thai or Sushi restaurants in the U.S. Today they are very common. The more we find out about other cultures, the more we can choose their foods, fashions or tattoo designs!
