A Job For You!

Hi, I’m a Freelancer as you all know. I recently took over some sites from a defunct web design company and am looking to redesign the website: http://www.livingarttattoo.co.uk

the guys want their shop image involved and I have to admit it’s got me stumped – is anybody out there designing a theme I could use..if not, then how much in £Sterling to design one for me?

Hey,

What aspect of their logo has you stumped?

Words that popup when thinking of tattoo sites:

-grunge -rock -wild -bold -ornaments

example:

http://www.donedhardy.com/

Other designers for inspiration:

-Ed Hardy -Christian Audigier -Gomedia -affliction clothing

Im currently working with a local tattooist, i have a rough site up for him currently and am working on the refined final version.

We played with the idear of using his shop front as the site design. Skingraff Custom Tattoos

Like i mentioned above its still at a very rough stage but its the foundation were working on.

I would be willing to work on the design for £60 uncoded.

Thanks everyone, I’ll take a look around TF but to be honest I do visit here a lot and I’ve not seen anything suitable yet (maybe I’ve missed something?).

To clarify the project (why I am stuck):

the original design includes the photo of the shop as it’s header (take a look at the photo in my first post and then the header here: http://www.livingarttattoo.co.uk), the thing is, it all goes wrong after that; I hate it (even though I was the main designer – not coder- of the original). I’m looking to bring it up to date, make it funky and ‘cool’; they’re a cool bunch of guys, the shop is mind-blowing and I feel the site should follow that ‘brand’.

Any tips/inspiration appreciated.

While the qulity of templates on TF are of a decent level, a tattooist is obviously going to be judged by thier artwork, 90% of people are not going to come to the logical conclusion that the tattooist didnt make his/her site and will judge the qulity of the site as a direct representation of the qulity of the tattooist.

Ive found it very helpful to go and chillout in the tattoo studio and get a feel for how it operates, take photos, more photos and even more photos. You will soon get idears flooding in as to the design you want.
