Binary codes are words translated into a system of two numbers (usually 1's and 0's). Letters, numbers, punctuation, even blank spaces have their own unique string of code. You can plug a particular script into a binary code generator, like the one in the resource link of this article, and it will translate it into 1's and 0's. Please note, binary code can compile quickly, as a ten-letter word will have 80 numbers in it. So whenever possible, its best to keep your message short and sweet.

Portrait tattoos are lifelike renderings that resemble a photograph more than a drawing. They are by far the most difficult and detailed of all the tattoo styles, but if executed properly can be the most beautiful as well. Traditional portraits are done in shades of black and gray, though you can choose to incorporate color if you wish; only trust a highly talented and experienced artist to tattoo a portrait on you. There is no margin for error and any mistake will be magnified. Also, note that portraits often require a large amount of space to display adequately.
