Marked Metal

Hey, hows things?

OK so this one is mainly based around my latest and by far greatest tattoo design to date, I've shown it already to a number of my college friends but now it's time for it to go up for everybody else to see the wonder (lol) of my artwork - TA DA!
Well? it's only a linear yeah but i personally think it's pretty good. The blank spots round the edges are where the skin is tearing or peeling away, showing the machinery inside.

This was requested by a friend of mine, Jamie, from work and he simply wanted a mechanical arms. I thought that just a mech arm would be too basic and essentially dull and boring as a tattoo so i discussed some things and we had agreed on it being where the skin tears, like a flesh wound, and under the skin you see the mechanics of his arm.

Once we had gotten the idea set out i began working on the initial sketch before outlining it - what you see here is a finished outline copy.

Tell me what you guys think and I'll be back soon with more sketches

'Ink it's all over??

I'm back! Back from the dead, or rather the "drawing room" as i have renamed my bedroom since my tattoo art addiction has now gone insanely huge with people asking for me to design tattoos for them along with me still being a newbie at tattoo art.

I'll be honest, i don't quite know everything about sketching tattoos, the ones i have done are awesome but I've yet to spread my wings, as they say, and vary my work to all aspects of culture, religions, nationalities etc etc


Let's face it, I've only been sketching tattoo art about 4 or 5 months, I'm not too bad in my own view and in the view of some of my friends and relatives but essentially i have a long way to go.

I have decided to make this blog mainly (but not entirely) to do with my efforts to becoming a tattoo artist and I'll often post some of my designs up on here for all to see (i don't care how bad they are, I'll put them up and take whatever advice/abuse you have to give)

Well, I'm away just now to keep sketching, see you soon and I'll be sure to post a couple up next time around...
