Nine horse tattoo designs on white paper: a horse galloping in profile with all four hooves off the ground, a horse's head with its mane blowing to one side, and a horseshoe with wildflowers wound through it. Horse designs belong to riders, to people raised with horses and to those who want freedom. They are worn on the forearm, the shoulder or the ribs. Type a different horse or a twist, such as a wolf.

  • a galloping horse for a rider
  • a horseshoe with flowers for the shoulder

Frequently asked questions

What do the nine designs show?
Three horse subjects drawn three ways: a galloping horse, a horse's head with a flowing mane and a horseshoe wrapped in flowers, in traditional, fine line and blackwork.
Can I ask for a different horse or a twist?
Yes. The direction field takes any subject or twist, such as a wolf; a typed direction is a request, so the result may differ from the samples.
What is the difference between the three styles?
Traditional has bold black outlines, heavy shading and red, yellow and green fills; fine line is a single hairline with no shading; blackwork is solid black with fine white lines cut through it.
Are these photographs of tattoos on skin?
No. Each design is a line drawing on a plain white background, with no skin, arm or body in it.

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.
