Egyptian God / Native Indian

3d Mythology Tattoo Idea Leeds

One of the reasons why i draw is to bring new ideas to life, with the rise of technology, a lot of tattoo images come from google nowadays, so we keep seeing the same image being tattooed over again. I use and recommend the iPad to do certain things, which it will save a lot of time, however is very important not to stop drawing as a tattoo artist, as we are constantly dealing with the human body. Only tattoo artist who draw are capable to deal with the human body accordingly. Not everyone will have the eye to notice that, In order to make your tattoo flow in the human body, it requires drawing skills, drawing in tattooing is being forgotten, as a lot of tattooists care about is how to tattoo, however, they do not consider that the tattoo is being applied in a human body. I speak about the importance to draw as a tattoo artist, because i had a seminar with Guy Aitchinson, and the whole seminar was about how to deal with the human body. Im gonna make a youtube video, based on how important it is to draw as a tattoo artist. The image i most see duplicated in tattooing nowadays in that statue of Zeus, god of thunder. My client asked me for a Zeus god of thunder, and i free handed for him, to give him something new and an image that has not been seen before, because that image of the statue of Zeus, its  been tattooed so much.

Creation of wisdom

  • Black and grey traditional drawing, idea for Tattoo. The lady with an old face it means Wisdom. The lion men’s courage, strength. The skull means mortality, and the number 777 it means completion. I love to draw black and grey, it’s a good practise for when you tattoo. And drawing I can build my own way of tattooing, in order to give something new to the client. Our tattoo studio in Leeds City Centre specialise in realism black and grey tattoos.

Black and grey Egyptian/ Indian Mythology

Egyptian Indian, Black and grey Mythology, pencil on paper. Black and grey is a style of tattooing that is done a lot nowadays, however I find that, a lot of images get used and copied over and over again, so I like to draw, so I can build a different style and be able to deliver a unique tattoo to my clients. Nowadays there are so many tattoo artists, however, they are pretty much doing the same thing, specially with the rise of technology, all you have to do nowadays is google an image, scan in the printer, which some printers nowadays even stencils the tattoo for you, it’s so easy not to draw nowadays, however if you only rely on google, your tattoo will look similar to thousands of tattoo artists who skip drawing and cut corners. Also, I draw because I love to, and I wouldn’t stop drawing because a lot of others Tattoo artists nowadays are skipping the foundation, that every artist should have, which is drawing.

Wolf Black and Grey Tattoo

Work in progress, half sleeve tattoo, black and grey realism. It was my clients first tattoo, what a cool dude, he’s a game designer, so really interesting to tattoo someone who’s an artist and someone who has the point of view of an artist. Game developers are for sure my favourite artists nowadays, they have to work so hard in order to deliver a great quality game, and nowadays, the competition is just getting tougher, so they keep up to deliver always better games and better experiences. If you are in to that sort of inspirational story, specially in the art world, I would recommend a documentary on “Prime” called “Indie Game” it’s about 2 independent game developers, who are under so much pressure to finish their Indie Game. After watching that documentary, it made me respect game developers a lot more. I’m really looking forward to finish this half sleeve, it will be all black and grey and I’m also looking forward to spend time with a game developer. Thank you

Black and Grey Surrealism Art

Surrealism is a new sort of style in tattooing, and in my point of view, it means, a realistic / fantasy looking piece of art, of course not many tattoo fans are aware of this style, and I accidentally have been drawing along those lines in the past, unaware of the style myself. The feeling I get about surrealism is a realistic image, incorporated by what you don’t usually see in real life, if you know what I mean, I understand not everyone would understand that concept, however, surrealism is along those lines. I love realism black and grey or colour, however, sometimes trying to achieve a hyper realistic image, you can only follow your reference and nothing else, that’s why if you notice, most realism tattoo artists, they are constantly looking at the iPad, so they can replicate exactly what’s in the reference to the skin, where in surrealism, you can deviate a bit, from that repetitive robotic process, and have the allowance, to create a image, never seen before to your clients.
