Dragon Koi

1 comment December 3rd, 2009

This is done on the artist Noel that works at my shop. This is a Koi Fish turning into a Dragon. It marks a transitional time in his life like the transition of the koi to dragon. The koi line work is form the new filip leu dragons flash book but the shading was free styled by me. Noel added the waves to the original art and made them more organic then the traditional more uniform waves.

I could tell that the tattoo felt…lets just say it was emotional for him. We filmed the process and should have the video up soon.

Vengeance!

This is a tree of life tattoo completed and healed. It has some deep personal meaning to her hence the word Vengeance down below where the tree grows up from. The whole tree is wrapped in a strangler fig.

She wanted to make sure the tree was below any low back shirts so she could cover it and that the tattoo had no black outline for a soft story book look. So this whole piece was done in soft light grays so it’s super subtle and not harsh.
