Luke WALKER's Tattoo. (Custom.)

Luke came to me with the idea of having a 'Pac-man' tattoo.
After I finished laughing, We had a quick sketch, Did a internet search and finally found the image he wanted on Google.

I copied the image onto carbon paper, and started with a 03 round liner, The whole design took around 20-25 minutes.
We may add colour & shading at a later date, for the moment, Luke's Impressed with the outline .. But none to keen on the pain .. :)












This was the Image found on Google that we used.









And this was our Interpretation of it. :)

Kelsey SISSON's Star Tattoo. (Custom)

This is Kelsey's Star tattoo.
It was a pretty & Simple design, I used a 01 round liner for the outline and a 03 round shader for the colour.
All in all This tattoo took about 20 Minutes. 
The only problem I have with this tattoo was as It was on the neck, It was difficult to keep the skin taught, and as a result, I had to go over the outline a little again.
















This is the original design, I just modified it to suit what Kelsey wanted. Image found On Google & Also in my Tattoo Finder Book. 















Carbon print onto Kelsey's neck ... I had to use carbon as I'm not yet good at drawing perfect stars.



















And This is the finished product.

Daniel MORRIS' Tattoo. (Custom, Pin-Up Girl.)

This Is a custom design I've been dying to tattoo for quite a while.
So I asked Dan If he would mind been a 'Guinea pig' , so to speak, and he was more than happy to help, So Thank you very much Mr. Morris. I hope you enjoy your new tattoo. :)

I outlined this piece with a 03 round liner, as I wanted a bit of depth to the outline, but not so much that it over powered the design, There as a fair bit of fine detail to be added, so I needed to find the right Balance. I used a 01 round liner for the more delicate bits, Such as the stitchs, and the rips in the dress.


For the colour I used a 05 and a 07 round shader, Using the 05RS to add highlights to certain areas.
I found it easier to work with round shaders rather than flats, as this design is about 8 Inches tall and many of the flat needles would not have coloured so flawlessly.


The original design is drawn by myself. And It Is part of my 'Pin-Up' collection. I was extremely proud of her, And so I wanted to display her on skin the second I put the pencil down. However due to the  nature of the drawing I knew there were very limited people that would have her tattooed. Thankfully Dan is that 1% who would!!  :)













 Here Is My Original Drawing.















 And this is the finished product, On Dan's Leg.
