My Artwork! Ingrained FOREVER!!!

A while ago, I was asked to do a sketch which would eventually become a tattoo.  Although I’ designed my own tattoos before, I knew not much about creating “flash” for an artist, so it was a bit of a daunting task!  After some discussion about the detail needed in the tattoo I set to work…

My previous expertise in the area of watches and all things tick-tock helped immensely, and evenutally I came up with this sketch, which, whilst holding great meaning for the person who would be getting this inked, needed to look good generally also.

 

 

A few months later, and I get a message, saying that the inking has been done!  Although some adjustments needed to be made to ensure that the tattoo would not bleed into itself, the design was kept as true as possible to my original.

(Some elements of my drawing were too detailed to transfer well into ink, so you’ll see some of the writing is larger, etc.)

 

 

The first of my tattoo designs which I designed for someone other than myself has been completed! 😀  Check it out!
