skull tattoo

[CajunDave]

Well i post my drawings all the time ..figured id post a tattoo since i FINALLY got to do one of my drawings as a tattoo. took about 4 hours, used an original neotat 3.5 with bugpins and a 5rl. im really happy with how it came out, but looking at it now wish i went a bit darker. shop is very bright and used the flash in picture...so picture kinda bright and there is a glare on it, tattoo much darker in person. will post a pic without flash and less bright when i get home.

Really killer. I love it. I would almost wear it. Add a little more texture to it and you can tattoo that on me any day.

great job man.

[CajunDave]

thanks guys! was so stoked to finally do one of my own pieces!

Nice skull dude!!

You rarely get to do your own sketches!?
I almost always do my own sketches. Its all about selling it :)
-aaw noo, its gonna look all retarded having a regular skull.. here look at these sketches I did! I feel more comfortable doing one of mine, plus then you'll have something unique!! :) :) :) <------ convincing smile

I think you should do your stuff more often. Put tats from your flash in the studio alone.. people are gonna choose it.

As for the skull.. love it.. only thing I can notice is the absense of shadown on the base of the nose bone (dont know if its the correct thing to say.. what I mean is the space between the eyes and some of the space down the side of the nose) you could have used slightly more shades there to really pop out the nose some

Go your style full out now!
Looking forward to see more of your ink later!!

in our area, ((cajundave and i are in)), it is a lot harder to do your ((own)) sketches, We are in a tourist city and people are pretty stubborn lol

[OwlsDen]

Not that I want to show off what I draw. I don't. But I have a rule of not directly copying anything in my shop. But if you guys are ever in Germany and can give me some notice, I will do my best to put you up with some work. Custom work only here.

[johndameart]

Will def get ahold of you, Thats the thing, we dont copy the stuff on the wall, we refuse too, some people here are stubborn lol. we barely have any flash at all for that reason. I cant stand looking at it either lol

[Vinoshitto]

Oohh... stubborn customers.. why cant they just fuckin go with it?? Have some trust in your tattooer godd dammitt!!! :)

We have most hillbillies and stupid girls.. all pretty easy to "direct" to do what you want.
(Praise to someone that they'll never read this and be all cunty about it)

i appreciate the kind words guys!some harsh critiques on here sometimes..makes me wary to post anything i do :) i was actually still laying down texture and some darker tones when he said he was ready to tap out so i toss some quick white highlights and we called it. hopefully i can get him back in here to give it some more love!

heres a few more pictures, less glare and no ointment on it so u can see some of the subtle tones on the forehead area etc. ive never got big areas greywash this smooth until i got these 39 curved mags :D

Like I said, nice work. You are developing a nice stylized way of doing realism. I always appreciate when someone's own style starts to show through.

[Sage Oz]

Yes it's quite lovely, I'd wear it for sure!

[Caleb's Addiction]

Yup, I'd wear that!
