A little peep behind the curtain for you.

I very rarely create fully rendered designs, but thought this was a good example to share as an explanation.

I normally send a simple line drawing to my customers, like the second image. However I realise that not everyone can visualise what I'm planning so have to trust the process. Thank you for that trust.

Most of the time the stencil is a guide for me more than anything.

But, I feel like when I put flash designs out there or concepts like this, people can't 'see' it. Or they think the tattoo will just be linework.

It won't, I'll make it look good 😘

So, now you can see what I'm getting at here, but it takes AGES to do and I'm not a very good digital artist.
This is an approximation of what the tattoo would look like.

The finished tattoo will never look like this because the inks I have won't precisely match the digital colours.
The tattoo will never be that smooth. The opacity of digital media allows transparency that is hard to duplicate with ink.

Needles don't behave like pens or pencils, digital or otherwise and my watercolour skills need work 😅 I'm not a spit washer.

Tattoos lighten up once healed, it's unavoidable.

The borders will be loose, not dead straight like this. Ideally this would fill an arm or leg to the point that where it wraps, the curve of the body creates the border.

So, I avoid fully rendering designs to manage people's expectations, save time and make it easier for myself if changes are requested.

In the past I have drawn entire sleeves for people who can't picture it, only to have them say no...

Hours, days wasted on a single design, unpaid, only to have it rejected by the customer and then never hear from them again.

I now take deposits for larger works fyi.

So there ya go, that's why I work the way I do 😌

Now, somebody please take this piece!

Thanks, I love you, bye ❤️
