# Brianne Thorne > I am Brianne, an illustrative tattoo artist and painter based in Vancouver. I create playful, expressive tattoos inspired by animals, nature, ornamental flow, and the wonderfully unexpected ideas my clients bring me. My style blends bold neotraditional energy with thoughtful negative space and flowing composition. I love creative freedom, collaborative design, and turning even the silliest concept into a tattoo that feels personal, polished, and unmistakably yours. - Address: New Westminster, BC, Canada - **How do I choose the right tattoo idea?** A professional tattoo artist can help shape your concept into a design that suits your goals, placement, and personal style. Sharing meaningful references, themes, or even a rough idea can provide a useful starting point. - **Can a tattoo artist help refine my design?** Yes, tattoo artists regularly adapt ideas so they work well as lasting artwork on the body. Their guidance can help balance composition, detail, scale, and readability while preserving the meaning behind the concept. - **What should I consider when choosing tattoo placement?** Placement can affect the way a design flows with the body, how visible it is, and how much detail it can comfortably hold. A professional can discuss these considerations and help you make an informed choice. - **What is involved in caring for a new tattoo?** Proper aftercare supports the skin as it heals and helps protect the appearance of the artwork. A professional tattoo artist will explain general care instructions and guide you toward keeping the area clean, protected, and appropriately moisturized. - **How can I feel confident about getting a tattoo?** A thoughtful consultation gives you space to discuss your idea, ask questions, and understand the design process before committing. Working with a professional encourages clear communication and helps ensure the artwork feels considered and personal. ## Contact & Social - [instagram](https://instagram.com/blt.tattoos) ## Pages - [Home](https://www.bltdoestattoos.com/index.md) - [Custom Cartoon Tattoo Design](https://www.bltdoestattoos.com/services/cartoon-tattoos.md) - [Personal Animal Portrait](https://www.bltdoestattoos.com/services/custom-animal-tattoos.md) - [Personalised Tattoo Concept](https://www.bltdoestattoos.com/services/custom-tattoo-design.md) - [Custom Neotraditional Piece](https://www.bltdoestattoos.com/services/neotraditional-tattoos.md)
