I’m getting it regardless and am meeting with the artist on Saturday to go over what I want and turn it into the actual design but the picture attached shows a rough idea of what I want and I’m curious for people’s opinions.
The arrow is showing that I want the gap filled in and the red lines are where I want the tattoo to actually go be cut off. I also want more shading to create the negative space, a little bit more detail, and more red.
I’m sure I’ll get some tribal flaming but meh…
What do you think?
I disagree with the doodling part of what you’re saying because I like the design (but I’m not knocking your opinion) but I definitely know what you’re talking about when you say it looks unfinished…I told the artist to add alot more detail and shading and make everything more crisp, sharp, and clean. Plus that design is just a basis of the style, it is going to look drastically different. We’ll see how the sketches turn out.
Hi
Can that design work?
Yes but it needs to be bigger, bolder, and allow more room for the red to show through.
That tattoo whilst is ok has the problems of spacing (tattoos fade and blur so the thin lines will lose a lot of crispness and are very close together and this will really show in years to come).
The negative space is not an issue you can fill this with similar tribal design or shading.
What you really need to ask (about any ink) is are you going to want this for the next 10-50 years?
Good luck with the piece and post up what you have done.
Take care
Matthew
