Five Star Gift Ideas

If your son is passionate about tattoo art and designing, there are plenty of thoughtful and meaningful gift options that you can consider for him this Christmas. Here are a few ideas that might inspire you:

1. Tattoo Design Books: Look for popular and well-regarded tattoo design books that feature different styles, techniques, and inspiration. This will allow your son to explore new ideas and expand his design skills.

2. Magazine Subscription: Consider getting your son a subscription to a tattoo art magazine. It will provide him with regular updates on the latest tattoo trends, interviews with renowned tattoo artists, and helpful tips and tricks.

3. Art Supplies: Help nurture your son's artistic abilities by gifting him a set of high-quality art supplies such as sketchbooks, pens, markers, or even a professional tattooing kit. This will allow him to practice and experiment with different tattoo designs.

4. Tattoo Convention Tickets: If there are tattoo conventions or expos happening in your area, surprise your son with tickets to attend one. These events provide opportunities for artists to showcase their work, learn from others, and network within the tattoo community.

5. Custom Tattooing Experience: Research local tattoo artists who offer consultations or design sessions. Gift your son a session with a professional tattoo artist who specializes in the style or technique that he admires. This unique experience will not only give him valuable insights but also provide inspiration for his own designs.

6. Art Classes: Enrolling your son in an art class or workshop focused on tattoo design can be an excellent opportunity for him to refine his skills, learn new techniques, and develop a deeper understanding of the art form.

7. Personalized Tattoo Design: Commission a custom tattoo design for your son from a talented tattoo artist. You can provide them with details about your son's interests, preferences, and any meaningful elements he would like to incorporate into the design.

8. Artistic Fashion: Look for clothing or accessories that incorporate tattoo-inspired designs. These could include t-shirts, hoodies, hats, or even temporary tattoos. This way, your son can express his love for tattoo art through his personal style.

9. Art Exhibitions or Museums: Keep an eye out for local art exhibitions or museums that feature tattoo art. Take your son to visit these exhibits, as they can be a great source of inspiration and an opportunity for him to connect with other artists in the industry.

10. Mentorship: Connect your son with an experienced and respected tattoo artist who would be willing to provide guidance and mentorship. This could involve setting up a meeting or arranging for your son to shadow the artist for a day to gain insight into the profession.

Remember, the key is to show your son that you support his passion and are invested in his artistic growth. By giving a thoughtful gift related to tattoo art, you are not only encouraging his hobby but also helping him explore new artistic horizons.

Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.

“The map was absolutely beautiful! My grandson was thrilled with it (it was a Christmas gift) and has already asked me if I would consider getting another one for him as a graduation gift in a couple of years.”
