Is that the Traditional Japanese way?

I much prefer the reptile versions, but I guess they don’t fit at all with the Traditional.

They are usually just dotted pupils or a very small Iris and a pupil.

I think the reptile look would chuck off the theme of it, even though it is a cool idea

it might just be me, so feel free to get the others opinions, but for me its the dragons eyes that bug me… they look kinda dead with no pupils and lack depth and it stops me from being able to appreciate the rest of the piece because its one of those little niggly bits. i think if you just got them changed it would…[Read more]

That style of Cursive is really confusing, the F is lowercase, the T sort of looks like a pie symbol wrapped in a capital C. Hard to read.
But if you like it don’t worry what other think.

Cheers guys, Yeah I really like the hair addition and the change of the lips.
Now just researching more on what to finish the sleeve with, I was thinking a japanese woman half putting on a Hannya mask looking at a Samurai. Early stage thinking at the moment.

Something bugs me about the orange, and nitpicking, but the clouds looks like they are giving a different wind direction to the sails if you get what I mean.

Dig the ship, just think something needs to be fixed up with the sky/clouds

I prefer the downward facing Koi and like the petals floating around.
Not really keen on the upward facing Koi, looks a little too stiff, as if the koi needed more bend with the line work.

As an overall piece it looks quite badass though.
Just my 2 cents.

Yeah i agree everything is awesome but im a bit unsure about the face.

The face is going to be touched up in a few weeks when it finishes healing, the reason it may look odd is the lines on the cheek which were going to be a hollowed cheek (was going to be a day of the dead girl at first) trying to find a way with the…[Read more]

Definitely want to see a better picture of that 😎

^This.
Looks good from what I can see

Updated pics are up in a new thread.

Still healing, she wants another 3 hours(free of charge) on it to touch up some lines/get some photos for port folio.

Sorry for bad photos, this was a 5 hour session free handing the rest of the dragon in and adding in waves/air and a lotus flower.

Had a 5 hour session today, finished line work and greywash on my bicep.
Will upload pics soon.

Very impressive and a nice size, not bad for a first tattoo, most go for a postage stamp size for their first, you should be very impressed. That is going to look great when finished.

Haha thanks, yeah I have always wanted a big impression first tattoo.

4 hour session booked and ready to go a week from now. Will update! 🙂

I Realised I never had a photo of the bottom half of the Geisha.
Here she is, 5 days healing.

Yeah, it will mostly be black/grey, but I want it to have red and maybe a few bright colours through it, on her Kimono, Fan etc.

Already have drawn a design for the traditional air with red/pink cherry blossom petals flowing through it.. Should look good!

Ashleigh from Sink or Swim Tattoo, Brisbane Australia.

I have a 4 hour shading session booked very soon.
The Dragon is going to be finished near my armpit and I am hoping will extend down and dissapear behind the geisha’s kimono.

Going for traditional japanese air/water fill, except I want cherry blossom petals to be flowing up in the…[Read more]
