Realistic Roses and Clock Tattoo
In this post I would like to share a realistic rose and clock tattoo I have worked on the past few months, it took me 2 sessions, and I would like to share an image of the tattoo progress and the end result, so it allows you to see how the tattoo looks when its not finished, so it allows the tattoo collector to comprehend the faith in the process that’s required when approaching a tattoo.
Every time you visit your Tattoo Artist in Bury your Tattoo will transform, so it is important to have faith in the unseen, when you make your next visit the tattoo will progress a lot, and achieve the end result eventually.
With this Tattoo, I have free handed the 2 roses, in order to flow better with her body shape, the human body curves a lot, so sometimes making a stencil and placing it on the human body can curve a lot and distort the image. So in a curvy body area like the hand, sometimes the best option is to free hand.
Of course, I do ask for the permission from the client to free hand a Tattoo, and if the client has looked at your work previously, it helps a lot, so they feel more confident to let you free hand the tattoo on their skin. Free handing also comes with a lot of drawing practise, I love to draw, so for me its ok to spend hours drawing after I finish work, which it helps with the free hand approaching.
So, the first tattoo session went well, before free handing a tattoo on the client, I explain the time that’s required for the drawing to go on the skin, the planning time can be time consuming, however, it can make the tattoo session more enjoyable and allows you to work with a positive mindset.
A full day’s work is usually 5 hours, I usually give 30 minutes extra for brakes and stretches. So when we reached the 5 hours, I had started on the clock but not finished. I added all my light shadows, but I did not have time to put the dark shadow on top of it, which it would give definition to the tattoo.
My client was understanding, she had enough tattooing for the day, and she was happy to re-book it and wait until the tattoo healed.
A month later from our first session, I have uploaded an image of the first session healed, that picture was taken just before I started the second session. The second session, it only lasted 2 hours, however, you can see the difference from the first to the second session. It shows how far you can go with a little faith. So if you are in the process of a tattoo, just make sure to stick with your artist, and get your artist to finish it, with a little faith, so everything matches and flows.
First Tattoo Session Healed
In this image, as you can see, the tattoo is imcomplete, and thats when some clients judge an unfinished tattoo. Judging an unfinished tattoo is not giving the opportunity for the tattoo artist to finish the project, and if you have chosen someone to tattoo you, you must have faith in their work, and stick with them. If you do not have faith in someone’s work, i would recomend you not to aproach the artist, to avoid wasting their time. Even in life, if you have faith you can go a long way, and with a tattoo is not different.
