@DivineDreams,

What I normally do is that I'll make the tattoo on Photoshop or design your own logo type website.

Then after that I follow these steps:

1. Upload picture tattoo (.png/.jpeg, etc.) to this website Lunapic Transparent, then click on the image to make it transparent.

2. Save Image

3. I find that sometimes the image isn't 100% transparent and leaves white streaks around the tattoo. So upload the image to Pixal Art , add a second layer colour it red and move it under the original image. From here colour in the white streaks with the colour of the tattoo. After colouring in the white streaks delete the red layer.

4. Once done, save image

5. Upload image to imgur, and resize it 25x25* pixels and save image

6. Upload the image on the Tattoo Registry

* For the image to be resized to exactly 25x25 px the original image must have an equal/even size (perfect square), e.g. 250x250 px or 178x178 px

I'm also going to post pictures for each step below

Hope this helps,
TBH

@DivineDreams,

Here is the link to photos showing a step-by-step explanation of the steps I gave above

Thanks,

Here's a link to a kind of hamfisted tattoo tutorial I put together! It's almost definitely not the most efficient, but hey. Microsoft Paint 3D is pretty easy to work with, and free if you have Windows.

What would be the best for a newbie on a desktop?

Oh my goodness! A PC makes all of the difference! I am using Paint 3D and wow. I now can design my own tattoos! Thank you everyone for the amazing help! xo
