Choose a style that will age the way you want. I break down line weight, contrast, ink behavior, and what changes over time so your design stays readable.

Meaning matters, but it has to fit the skin. Get subject ideas with placement and composition notes, from cover-up planning to symbols that hold their form.

Small tattoos need spacing, scale, and realistic line expectations. I write about what stays crisp, what can blur, and how to plan for clean edges at a smaller size.

Matching works when alignment, symmetry, and movement are intentional. I help you plan pairs by placement pairing, spacing rules, and how the design will meet in real life.

I am Scott Miles, and I started Tattoo Aurea because tattoo planning should feel calm, not chaotic. I focus on placement, skin behavior, and how different styles age so you can choose a design that fits your body today and still looks right later. My approach is practical and personal: I break down options by where the tattoo will live, how the lines will read, and what aftercare needs to look like for your day-to-day. If you are weighing size, style, or meaning, I will help you get specific before you commit.
