Father son tattoos: two anchors, bear and cub, crossed arrows

Fathers and sons choose a matching pair that reads as strength handed down. The sheet shows a large and a small anchor side by side, a bear walking beside its cub, and two arrows crossed in an X, one longer than the other, each in old school, fine line and blackwork. Type a different subject, such as two wolves, and the same three styles carry it.

• a design to show the artist before booking

Frequently asked questions

What do the nine pictures show?

Three pairs: two anchors of different sizes, a bear beside its cub, and crossed arrows, each drawn three ways on white paper.

Why do the pieces differ in size?

A larger and a smaller piece read as the older and the younger, which is the idea the pair is built on.

What is the old school style?

American traditional flash: bold black outlines with a limited flat palette of colour.

Can I type a different subject?

Yes. Type the subject you want and the three styles are applied to it. The result is a request, not a promised image.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
