Filler tattoo ideas.?

Question

Any artist out there specializing in the Amerian Traditional style. I am looking for horseshoes, stars, anchors, old stlye military stuff. Just for ideas of course.

I can't seem to find exactly what I'm looking for.

Waves, smoke, you know. Stuff to fill in the blank spots. I hate blank spots. :)

Answer 1

You can always fill the space with traditional/common fillers - stars, waves, clouds, vines, stripes, flags, dice, cards, flames, etc - there's a million things you can do with these.

If you have some empty/spaces patches together, or surrounding one or two tattoos, why not get creative? Choose a subject that can look good in flexible shapes - a snake, or a woman - and have them twisted, curled and posed around to fit into the blank space. When you think about it, it'd be pretty easy/fun to think up poses for an image of a woman to fit into an obscurely-shaped space. =D

Traditional Tattoo Filler

Answer 3

I have several color tattoo's on my right arm, wanted to fill in the blank places with some soft black and grey work roses. My artist free handed roses and leaves from my elbow to my wrist. People say it looks like my color pieces are standing in the jungle. I love the way it turned out, its not so dark that it takes away from the color work.

Answer 4

on one of my sleeves i had a lot of odds and ends mostly traditional style the old school way to fill these in is with dots and asterisks my artist started doing this then i mentioned why not put tiny spirals card symbols money and cent signs and all sorts of tiny little things among the stars and asterisk looks like traditional old school but if you look close there are a lot of tiny dice and things including the words f$%^ your feelings hidden in there i get a lot of compliments on it and its something your artist can just sit down and start doodling on i have a couple older pictures on my myspace myspace/sickboy1031 on the other arm i have old sorta neo traditional japanese clouds behind everything with vines wrapping it all together but i planned that one out ahead i just put a couple pics of it up on 360 one is older its the better pic and one is new but the fill in goes all the way up on it
