Hi

As a cap it will work well my only concern is the yellow.
The yellow pigments do not always last well unless you go really vibrant.

Hi

The design is very nice although it needs more detail within the wings which i am sure the artist can add.

It depends on the size of your calf really – if you have very thin legs I would suggest somewhere with a broader area but if your calf is quite big it will fit on very well.

You need a fair amount of space so you do not lose or crowd…[Read more]

Hi

As a guestimate windbars is a couple of hours work at most if going big on them I would put aside around $150-$200 (prob see some change depends on artist and how much you tip but average of $80 p/h)

Well it is ongoing work so I am sure that this can be fleshed out as the artist carries on with it.
Personally I always found the hands and faces to be a bastard to draw.

Hi

If I am honest maori would kind of odd against an asian style tattoo. Whilst tribal can work have you considered something along the lines of japanese/chinese floral or wind/smoke.

Hi

It is the interpretation on Levictius which is more to deal with scarification (but they include tattooing) that tattooing which was quite a common practice amongst the early hebronite tribes.

I have written a piece on tattooing prejudice and religion feel free to have a read and comment.

Hi

I really love the concept art even in the rough art – you have a talent there and a pro artist will def make that a great tattoo.

Are you sure on placement? The back is a big area and you may want to do a backpiece in the future. That piece would make a storming chest piece over the heart.

Eitherway post up when you are done i am sure it…[Read more]

Hi

For a portfolio the key part is have it professionally presented. There is nothing worse than dragging in a few scraps of paper with drawings sketched on the back of a bus ticket etc.

Hi

Basically you mark out the sections on your legs with a marker and divide them up into sections according to size and placement.

Then you photograph each area so it shows the boundary and measurement and add the design by photoshop – you can also mark out the same with paper. each section should contain the image you want adding as a guide to…[Read more]
