What a fun two days! Isar sat down with me a few weeks back and gave me some much needed pointers, advice, and critiques to improve my work. I learned a ton from him and Taryn, two people I greatly admire.
While it is not complete, here is the first piece I was able to use the techniques on. 2 days back to back! I truly feel 3 days back to back is achievable by most people using this style/technique.
Matt, a longtime client and great guy, simply asked for a so a bear on its head, symbolizing his love for frenzied battle; in this case its roller derby. (Yes, men do it too)
Matt has a full sleeve of my Nordic work on his other arm, and sat like a champ during these two back to back days full of dot after dot of various size.
Day 1 - Artwork development, drawing it all on him, and then dot-lining it all.
Day 2 bold lines and lots of dots to create the look.
What do you think? Would you get something like this tattooed by me? Would you let me tattoo you for 3 days in a row?
I’m truly curious.
