Tattoo Charts

[tattoo_lover]

I'm looking for tattoo inspired charts and wonder if anyone can help; I can't afford the magazines as working as a volunteer teaching assistant. Many thanks.

i stitched that one and loooved the way it turned out!
i passed my chart on to someone though so I don't have it anymore..

Theres also a book out of stitch charts based on Ed Hardy designs. Its pretty new so probably not in a secondhand bookstore yet- but might be in a library, or used from Amazon. I check stitch books out from my library all the time.

Many thanks for the tip re' the Ed hardy cross stitch book; I will be on the constant look out from now on

MaggieM thanks for the heads up on that one, I'll have to keep my eyes out for it.

You might also try looking at blackwork which is often tribal/swirly in nature.

Indeed, I have done some blackwork and loved it.
