Realistic Butterfly Tattoo

  By

I have been tattooing Sheldey for a while, she always comes in asking for small feminine Tattoos, which I’m more than happy to do it, I believe no tattoos are easy to do specially small ones, you have to put extra care on them and you have little space for error, on bigger tattoos is easier to rectify certain things, and go around something you want to fix or make it better.

This time my client asked for a bigger Tattoo on the side of her stomach. She requested a butterfly and sent me the image. She requested a lot detail, so I recommended to get it done a quiet clear size, and she agreed with my suggestion. In order to achieve a successful Tattoo, when the client gives the Tattoo Artist as idea, and after lets the Tattoo Artist give their honest opinion, and realise that, your Tattoo Artist want the best for you, you will have more chances to walk away with a successful Tattoo.

In our Tattoo shop in Bury, we value our clients ideas, and we take that idea, and our intention is to make the best decision possible to our clients, in order to achieve the best Tattoo as possible in Greater Manchester. In our tattoo studio in Bury Greater Manchester, our aim is to listen to our clients, work based on honesty, we prefer to be honest with a client and loose them, than lie to our client just to get business, and achieve the best quality tattoo possible.

In this realistic Butterfly Tattoo, my client mentioned, it was the most painful Tattoo she ever had done, but she did not give up, and she went until the end. She knew what she wanted, and she was willing to sit in the chair the time necessary to achieve the best We could do for her in our Bury Tattoo shop.

Feminine Japanese Tattoo

  By

I Tattooed Ruth last year, we first did a humming bird Tattoo on her arm. She was really sure what she wanted, however she gave me a lot of freedom to work as well. The first Tattoo was a sucess, i spent a lot of time on the drawing, so i wanted to make sure the second tattoo was also made with the same approach of the first one.

I like having Ruth in the studio, she has a good energy about her, and so does her husband Mark. I have also been tattooing Ruth’s husband, Mark. And when Mark approached me to get his full sleeve Japanese Cover-up Tattoo, Ruth wanted to join us and get a Japanese Dragon on her leg. 

Ruth’s son was born in the Chinese Dragon Year, so the Tattoo represents her son in Chinese culture. 

I tried to make the dragon Feminine looking to fit with Ruth, so i did not do many bold lines as i would usually do in a Japanese Dragon. I try to look at my client and do something that fits them.

Ruth was great as always, she knows what she wants however, she gives me freedom to draw, work and express myself within her request. 

I really enjoy having Mark and Ruth in the studio, they are a really nice couple. They also invited me to their wedding which I was really happy about, it was a lovely day, in a gorgeous place in Scotland. 

Thank you Ruth, it’s always a pleasure having you in our Tattoo Studio in Bury, Greater Manchester.

The Importance to Draw as a Tattoo Artist

With the age of technology, it is easy to get disheartened and not see the point of drawing as a Tattoo Artist. Nowadays, all you need is an iPad, and you can mix and match all the images needed to achieve the tattoo required. Getting an image from google images, is what 80% of tattoo Artists are doing nowadays, however, practising and being able to draw, it allows the artist to give  the client more of a natural and creative looking and custom tattoo.

Getting an image from google, and mixing with another images to create a tattoo, it ends up with a lot of images being repeated when tattoos are being done, that’s why in realism tattoos, you can see the same images, being repeated and repeated again.

One thing about dealing with tattooing, is that, you will come across issues, and problem solving, and the better you can draw, the quicker, and more precise, you will be able to deal with your problem solving. Every craft requires problem solving, and tattooing is not different.

Drawing it allows me to practise ideas on paper, before I attempt them on skin, it’s also a form of respect for the client, as clients are allowing your art work on their body for a life time, it is, imperative to be sure what you will place on their skin before attempting it.

In this drawing, I have practised, a lot of textures, which it teaches me to add texture to the tattoo without needing any reference, and it saves me from having to stencil every single texture from the image before applying to the skin. Drawing textures on a drawing, it also allows me to add textures where sometimes is not clear on the images. A lot of images we see, or images the client mite bring, it is not possible to see every texture that’s supposed to be there. So having a practise of textures on a paper, it allows the artist to add what is not seen, and it is supposed to be there.

That practise, it also allows you to work with a portrait, where the image is taken in the 90’s or 80’s, and you can not see the pores in the face. Every face has pores, and with the camera quality nowadays, it is a lot easier to capture those details in the face, however, understanding texture it allows me to add the details in a portrait, when I am presented an image from back in the day, where the cameras were not what they are today.

My inspiration for this drawing, was watching the latest Gladiator movie, I was very inspired by it, and enjoyed watching the battles in the arena, where they had ships and the gladiators were fighting each other, as an Entertainment for the king.
