Loved Ones 2 - Tattoo Design

So the last tattoo was for my boyfriend, this one is for his brother. Haha. :) Enjoy.

Loved Ones - Tattoo Design

I actually designed this back in February but for some reason never posted it anywhere. This was a design I did for my boyfriend for his next tattoo. Might do a colour version, not sure. I think he would prefer black and white. Please don't use this, it's obviously a personal piece. I wrote the first four lines of the verse myself, he picked the last two from a quote he liked. Enjoy. :)

Cross Tattoo

This is hopefully the final concept. I really like this, hope John does too.

I really love doing tattoo designs :D

Cross Tattoo WIP 1

A tattoo design for my boyfriends uncle, to commemorate his late wife. Having fun on this one, getting very into the design. Hope he likes it so far :) Enjoy!

Tribal Tattoo Concept 4 / Final

So you havent seen anything of this since April, because I haven't done anything on this since April! Let me explain :)

This is a tribal inspired tattoo design for my bf's birthday - the reason I've suddenly gotten off my ass and reproduced the entire thing in pretty much 24 hours (I'm actually pretty impressed with myself to be honest) is because my boyfriend has decided that he wants this for his birthday which is next month - i.e. my present to him will be to draw it and to get it put on him. So.. here's pretty much the final concept. He's really happy with it which makes me feel pretty chuffed! :D I of course had to consult with him a lot on this as he's pretty picky. But from start to finish this particular concept was described as no less than "amazing", or "perfect". Sweet. :D

Perhaps there will be tweaks, especially since I'm not quite sure if it will map perfectly around the body like I've shown (I am estimating afterall as he wouldnt let me draw it physically ON him unfortunately!). But for now, welcome to the final concept. This is the biggest tattoo design I've ever done. I'm really proud of it!

Tribal Tattoo Concepts 1, 2 & 3

Well my boyfriend wants a super huge tribal tattoo so I thought I'd have a bash at designing it. Here are concepts one & two (image one) and three (image two). One/Two, I ditched, probably for the obvious reason that it wasn't looking manly / generally cool enough. I'm going to keep generally with the third concept but tweak some areas, for example how the back piece connects to the arm. Not liking that so much at the moment.

The body views took me about two hours to draw, traced directly from photos I took of my boyfriends torso from different angles. Drawing over them was simply a cleaner base to use than grainy photos taken where the light was all at wierd angles. This just gives basic contours I guess. I actually really like the body views. I love painting skin haha :)

Enjoy! Hopefully the final concept (shall we call it 3-B lol) to follow soon. This has been on the shelf for a few weeks so I could do with working on it some more imminently. The tattoo basically needs expanding down the chest and around the side to meet the back piece.
