Tattoo Fashion: Off the Soulder Shirt Tutorial

Fashion is something that has nearly fallen off my to do list as I finished up the last couple years of my Art and Humanities degrees. As a creative person I have always enjoy self expression through my clothing, hair, makeup, and body art so it only makes sense that I would return to this area of my life at some point.

I am currently at that point in life where I am transitioning from college to “the real world.” Over the past couple years I have been updating my wardrobe to match and in the meantime decided to make the commitment to get a large tattoo. The tattoo decision is impacting my fashion sense in some fun ways. Since starting my ¾ sleeve, I have really been focusing on clothing that emphasizes a specific part of, shows all, or covers my arm. I currently refuse to buy or DIY any clothing that doesn’t fit into at least one of these categories.


One of my favorite styles that shows off my water lily is the off the shoulder look. I will be creating a video tutorial on YouTube in addition to the one below..

Check out this sweatshirt I made to show off my shoulder tattoo. 

Really all you need to do is cut out the neck. 

To Do

Lay out a sweatshirt or t-shirt on the floor

chalk an outline around the neck

Mike was right next to the seem on the left and about two inches from the sleeve on the right

Cut smaller rather than larger because you can always make the cut larger
