So now that my half sleeve on my left arm has been completed I’ve been thinking more and more about my next one. I was actually given the idea that since my current sleeve is bright, representing life, etc that I’d make my next one a bit darker. I found an image online a while back of a skull with dark purple butterflies coming from the head of the skull. It was titled life after death. I thought then maybe adding a crow and some bleeding roses and I’m not sure what else, maybe some sort of lyrics or something. Also thought about later on connecting the two sleeves with either a chest piece or something across my upper back. Won’t be getting anything started til some time after the holidays I think but I’ll be going in to give my artist my ideas and see what he says. I’m looking forward to it, a whole life and death theme. Any ideas what else I could maybe add? I want this sleeve a bit more planned out than my last one was 🙂
I like the idea a lot. You can do a whole heap of stuff 🙂
Yea I’m definitely looking forward to it. At first the image I found with the skull and butterflies I thought would make an awesome back piece but then I thought more and more about it and figured I’d make it into another half sleeve. Wish I could make my sleeves go all the way down but I gotta think of my jobs I may have in the future so yea.
My only problem with this idea is what I’m going to do in terms of background. No clue what to do about that part of it.
Going in to talk to my artist tonight, I’ll let you all know what his ideas are on it 🙂
Its a good idea. I also have a tattoo of same theme. My one tattoo on left hand comprise of a demon and on my right hand i had a tattoo of a jesus christ.
Yea I like the idea of doing one side good/light and then other side being evil/dark. It won’t be all gory or anything but it’ll just be a darker concept
