Today we had some dope projects come in. A smaller wonder woman based tattoo to start with.

This was a shorter session on my client Ericka. She’s collected two really cool pieces from me in the past. I love these pieces because I’m really able to push the really light washes and fine detailed in her tattoo. They heal up really well. Most of the little tricks in these tattoos are extremely technical but so simple that they really go unnoticed.

Healed tattoos…

These are non-edited healed images of her tattoos. We will be doing a second pass on all three soon. A lot of tattoos change over time but if you’re able to lock in a second layer of saturated blacks an fill in the consistency of the gray wash I find the tattoos last much longer looking a lot better than normal.

Freehand dragon…

Finally got to finish this project up, I’ve been working really hard on drawing dragons and koi fish’, although this dragon is smaller I was very happy with the outcome.

We finished up this project on my client Juan. The first sitting was very long and we were not able to complete the color. There’s a handful of elements that tie in his personal story and his personal design choice. Very fun custom project. Hoping to get more dragons in the future!
