I never had an idea to make a tattoo for myself, but i found it interesting to draw them. I was mostly atracted by japanese and samoan folk tattoos. And here was the firs artist who influenced me for such drawings http://www.usugrow.com/home.html
First I tried sketching koi fish images
Later I tried Samoan style
Eventually I tried something like mixing everything up.
Really loving these tattoo sketches mate :)
ReplyDeleteThanks. :D
ReplyDeletehahaha my tattoo guns arrived today so if you want to be a practice sheet let me know hahahhahaha
ReplyDeleteOh cool, but before that I think I should trust you more :D I heard that tattoo artists usually uses pigs as theyre sheets... I would better be a client.
ReplyDeletehahaha not live pigs though. im using synthetic skin at the moment. Grapefruits are another suggestion to practice on.
ReplyDeleteNow I'm realy interested to see some of your tattoo sketches :D when I start drawing tattoos for myself I just can't stop, because when I make a sketch for a shoulder than I think that I need to make something on a lower hand, when I do that, I start thinking that there should be something on the neck, after that everything goes on another hand... And damn, that should be expesive eventually... lol... And final sketch sometimes reminds a prisoners body :D I dont want that. It is still a long long way for me to find the right idea for myself. And what is more I want to make something with a theme that everything would be like a bit conected and something that I could show when I will be realy old :0 - thats also hard.
