For logos and other drawn designs, we prefer vector art work submitted in the following formats: Adobe Illustrator, EPS, PDF, Postscript, CorelDraw, Freehand, SVG.

JPEG format will work only if it is high resolution and has no or low compression. GIFFs and images taken straight from web sites are generally too poor of quality and resolution to make a nice tattoo. Avoid sending Word, Publisher, and Powerpoint documents.
