Well my half sleeve is now started now on my right arm. I did a 3 hour session today and we were able to complete the shading and the outlining. Still need to figure out what to do underneath. He thought it would be cool to do a bird skull of some sort with feathers or something like that but I’m not to sure about the idea personally. Any ideas of what to go a long with the rest of it? Anyway, here is what we’ve got going so far. I love love love it! He was actually jealous it was going on my arm and not his 😛
After it was all cleaned up
That is one hell of a great start!
Bird skull? I never thought of something like that. I’d go with a Turkey Buzzard.
Awesome concept! And I was going to say buzzard also.
looks solid, but that’s a lot of shadows on top.. is there going to be added things there?
Im liking this so far, good start. Looking forward to more pics!
There will be color added and things like that. The area that is shaded on the top is actually the opening in the skulls head that the butterflies are coming out of. I figured out some ideas for what I’d like to incorporate to the inside of my arm so I’ll have to run the ideas by my artist. I’m not to wild on a bird skull to be honest hence why I spent many hours last night looking around at different things. Thanks for the compliments though, I’m super happy with this! It’s definitely darker as I wanted it but not super crazy and creepy to where it’s not appealing to look at
Looks sweet can’t wait to see the rest of it.
Thank you!
if you don’t like the bird head skeleton idea how about the skeleton of a fairy in there?
I actually have quite a few ideas written down that have nothing to do the other skull. No fairys though, I like them but im not really into them being incorporated into my tattoo. Thanks for the idea though 🙂
Finally figured out what I want for my inner arm and my artist is pretty excited about it. I get to see what his idea is this week but my appointment isn’t until April 19th. I’m excited, it’s going to work so well with this piece 🙂
That means we have to wait a whole month? Oooohhh the anticipation.
Cool that you get to see what he’s come up with soon. And your appointment really isn’t THAT far away – although I bet its feels like forever to have to wait now that you have your concept ready. Tick tock tick tock … It’ll be here before you know it.
Yea it sucks that I had to do it so far out but I’m trying to do the work on weekends where I’m off work, it’s easier when you don’t have to worry about taking care of it at work that’s for sure
I actually decided on an hour glass for the inner part of my arm with a feather incorporated into it somewhere. Love the meaning behind the hourglass and my tattoo artist even told me the significance behind the feather which will work perfect. I love this new sleeve of mine, I’m planning on going to my back eventually and combining the two sleeves together somewhere. I’ve got the addiction bad but it’s so worth it. I love every second I am in that chair
