You mean, because in real life Lilies are bigger than Forget Me Nots?

Yup. But yet again, that’s a big cluster of forget me nots. I think its to the point where I should have some faith in my artist, and trust her and to not look too much into it, because it’s a cool design. lol

Question, it could be just me thinking last minute. But, does it look weird that the Lilies are smaller than the forget me nots? I don’t think it’s a huge deal, just want some thoughts.

I want it symmetrical for the Ant Nouvea feel. Are you familiar with Alphonse Mucha?

That’s the inspiration for the piece. 🙂

I stay focused on the negative space inbetween the lilies. I also have thought about that as well, I just love that little space inbetween them.

They are the same thing, just a bigger pic, and everyone kept commenting on the smaller pic. I wanted to make sure everyone could actually see it.

Looks awesome…I think the center circle should stay hollow – you know, like those rings on bathing suits?

Yup, it’s going to be hollow, the ring itself I am planning to be clay green.

My tatts have come a long way, but man… I still get so pissed off looking at them. I really want to punch the original artist. They didn’t turn out as planned at all… 🙁
It’s a tough pill to swallow when they are giant and on your chest. I’m so scared of being in this position again.

I think I am going to add a petal to the right side at the bottom left so it doesn’t look soo turned off. Then I am going for the original design and going to do white lilys instead.

I keep going back to my original design. I’m wondering if I should maybe change the lilys? Not sure. Second. I wanna try coming up with another design.
I really like the original because its pretty, feminine, and has that vintage appeal.

I guess I can say some things about myself and the Forget me nots.

Me: I’m a natural redhead with the pale…[Read more]

The smaller image I will go with. This is only 5% smaller than the last stencil we did. We need some adjustments but thats it.

What do u think? I wish the medallion was a litte bigger, but then it will kill the negative space inbetween the lilies.

This is very true. It may shock me because it will be a lot all at once.

Wow you guys really know how to relax someone. Thanks for the re-assurance. 🙂

So you guys think i should just add on to the right side to cover a little more of the lily?

I don’t wanna end up making the flowers asymmetrial.

ALSO! This is what I look like, which will hopefully help with coloring.

Obviously I’m the girl. 🙂

Since I am a natural redhead and fair skinned, I want the right colors. For the center piece I was thinking clay green, light clay brown, or maybe a light steely grey. What do u think?

I hate how one lily comes out more than the other. Any ideas on how to get that less noticable? I was thinking of adding a little art nuevo grapes to the right side so it will cover more of the other lily. OR I was thinking I should make them asymmetrical?

FUNNY STORY!
I love these flowers too! I told my artist I wanted to add on. The first thing out of her mouth was lilys. I love stargazers so this is now the plan.

This is the stencil.
One lily is showing more than the other due to my flowers being off. BUT! we are shriking the center by 5%.

What do you guys think?

the touchup look better. I would add some flowers in the middle to connect the two bundles. I love pink stargazer lilies so that’s what I would recommend.

I can’t go across my back due to me having back tattoos.
I’m not too sure about the vines because these flowers don’t have vines. Alos, very few and tiny leaves.
I also don’t want to touch my arms.
I’m trying to think ahead for future tattoos!! :p

I like this tatt!
BUT.. If you want it covered, remember… It has to be 50% bigger than the original. and you gotta go darker than the tatt itself. You may need to cover it with a “busy” tattoo. IE: Koi fish/dragon—the scales help distort the image under it. basically you need a tattoo that makes a distraction.
In order to do this, it has to be…[Read more]
