Tattoo globe flower

“Ta-Ta” twisted way like Hannibal Lecter says.

Sat down with my machines and did some trimming. 

Can’t believe how fast time goes and you notice it’s way over midnight, all of tattoo guns are in small pieces at your table..

Well I can’t be the only one who loves to mix and tune those beautiful tools, or am I..?

– Globe flower coverup –

“I want Globe flower” for hiding this old spider-tattoo. That’s what she said…

Time for research, in to the field were I could find these beautiful flowers. Shitloads of pictures were taken in every shape and angles…

 back to the studio table.

This spectacular yellow flower was a mouthful because, hiding black tattoo with yellow flower was not quite simple as it sounds..

– Stencil –

Picture had to be so big, and the spider was gone. Easy to apply because shoulder blade is so nice area to do my magic..

– Making of –

7Round liner 14round liner and 13MG Shader was used in this piece..

Tried to make outlines bit more soft and left some spots “open” … 

Bit “oldie” -style but not too much, flower looks right and colors match, black/grey areas are for hiding the old tattoo…

Huge area to color but she took it well, nice job!

– What I learned..? –

First of all, the biggest mistake were leaving those outlines open. 

After making outlines I realized that it won’t work and I had to close ’em with my shader..

My mentor also told that biggest faulse was those lines and that style fits better to black/grey tattoos… Can’t argue, I’m wiser now.

Next time when I’m making work like this I’m going to stick up in strong outlines… 

Maybe for future I would use way more different kind picture, more leafs and I would stamp those leafs straight to the top of  spider.. 

Doing so, spider would be covered for less work and flower would have more brightness.

I did tune up my machines for this session and one of my liner machines didn’t work like I wanted. The tube was not giving Ink and needle felt just wrong.. I’m twisting angle to my needles usually before using but angle was like others, probably armature bar problem what must be investigated…

Looks like every session teaches me so many things… I used Intenze colors for this piece and I’m thrilled to test something new next time.

That’s the end for this one, to the next step and next session… Oh and that featured picture is my new hand tattoo made by my awesome and talented mentor.

To the next time bye!

Time has gone by and I can almost taste the end of summer. I’ve been doing many small tats lately and have to say, it’s challenging every time.

Names and birthstones

This dame got one spectacular idea: “Names and birthstones” Hell, I havent even heard about birthstones before and had to do some epic investigation stuff before could start even sketching…

Stencil

Stencil were easy to apply because the place was flat, no need for silkpaper. 

“Stones” was only few straight lines and I made ’em with my shader.

Making of…

I was using 7Round liner and 9MgShader. Colors had to mix like she wanted.

What I learned…?

First of all, stencil for pictures like this should always make with “sharpies” and freehand style. 

Decorating lines could also be much bigger giving the smoothness for the whole pic.

Perhaps next time I would even use a smaller needle for some special turns, 3Round liner could be nice, and tattoo would have more deep illusion.

Don’t forget to do “bloodline” like my mentor always says!

Big feather

She wanted a blue feather to the hand. Really specific about what kind and what color. 

Stencil

Had to use silkpaper so I could turn this right way from inside out. 

Normal paper won’t work and stencil goes blurry easily, trust me..

Making of…

Stencil placed and ready to go. 7Round liner, 13Mg shader and 9Flat shader for tight spots. This time I made whole picture “bloodline” and blacks using (10% Black 90%H2O) mix.

It was really much more easier to start adding blacks and contrast when bloodline were down under.

Colors that I used were from Intenze this time. Outline black, peach, green and different tones of blue. Mixed up all colors with water and white.

Of course all the trimming and details I made with white using 7Round shader.


What I learned…?

The greatness of the bloodline! 

No need to say how important it is to do shades and lines with enough light mixture and add the darker shades after.

Sure I knew this earlier but now I’m starting to realize what my teacher/mentor has always meant…

IF YOU WANT TO GO DARKER, GO LIGHTER FIRST…

Enough for this time, thanks for reading…

Drawing “Oldies…”

Skin Art, Tattoos, Tatuaje, Taty

Yeah, my biggest favorit thing these day is drawing Old school sketches. Don’t know where the main idea came from but I just realize my hidden talent with these. I’ve been always drawing caricature pictures of people and this “oldie” style is quite like it. 

  
This eagle is different than the original but it didn’t change too much, deep colors and lots of attitude.. Stencil making was simple, I just marked the outlines and everything else were colored.. Needles were 14round liner and 7flat shader. Oh, yeah and 7round liner I did use on the head area… Turned out radical eh?

  

Muttley the dog from wacky racers.. Hah, this was so much fun to do. Only thing I remembered about that cartoon was the laugh of Muttley. If I’m not wrong he was good dog even that he was working for that evil dude.. To the picture yeah, stencil work was tricky and had to use my sharpest pencil. Crazy twist of this sketch was Catalonia’s flag that I hide to the Muttley’s “clothes. Needles I used: 9round shader, 7round liner, 13magnum shader. 

  
Next one was starter plug for guy who is… Surprise! a mechanic. Fun idea, one plug for every kiddo. Stencil making was fast, only few outlines and we’re ready to go. Needles for this session choosed to be 14round liner, 9flat shader, and 13 magnum shader…

  

Coat of arms. This epic dude has ordered this for his family…family coat of arms you could say. Of course fanatic football fans will love this MUFC tribute right..?

To the next time, thanks for reading…
