The skull design that some people may bring to the tattoo shop artist may have been found in a search online going through web site databases of images. Once the customer finds an image that might look nice as a tattoo design, they take that image to the tattoo artist and have a sketch made of a unique design that has the skull image in it. The design may be altered and modified to more closely match the idea that the customer has for the tattoo, with some line or color changes.
