Black and grey Egyptian/ Indian Mythology

  By ,
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.

Wild life Black and grey realism

  By

Black and grey realism. Wild life is Ken’s favourite subject to his full leg sleeve tattoo, what a nice guy Ken was, he previously started his full sleeve project by another artist, who had to leave the country. I was happy to take the sleeve, as he wanted black and grey realism, and he seemed really easy going as well. We are here to help customers, so if I see a light in the end of the tunnel, I take on the job, being able to help customers is a big part of being a tattoo artist. Cover-ups and finishing big projects, is harder than starting a fresh skin tattoo, however, when everything works out in the end, and you build a positive vibe, and trust with your client, it makes the risk you faced worthwhile. Thank you

Poseidon Greek Mythology Tattoo

  By

Greek Mythology, Poseidon, black and grey tattoo. I’m currently working on a lot of Greek Mythology and Egyptian Mythology black and grey tattoos. I’m having a lot of fun with it. I will be blogging about a lot of those projects. So keep an eye on my blogs, for updates on the progress of all those Greek Mythology and Egyptian Mythology Tattoos I’m working on. I was very fortunate to start a full back piece of Greek Mythology on my friend Nico. He is such a nice guy, and I even started my podcast with him. I have a new podcast on YouTube and Instagram, I’m really enjoying it, it gives me a bit of a balance in between tattooing and socialising with my clients. Thank you

Geisha vs Centaurus Mythology

  By ,

Japanese and Greek Mythology pencil drawing. Geisha and Centaurus meeting in the same dimension, the outcome of this scene, it will be up to the viewer. That’s the beauty about looking at a piece of art, it’s to interpret it in your own personal way. The way I interpret it, is that anything is possible. I have been learning about 4th dimension, and that’s where we go when we dream, in that dimension everything is possible. So I try to achieve that sort of idea, when I draw. Thank you

New Black and Grey Art Collection

  By

I have a new black and grey art collection in my station, I love to draw and do tattoos in black and grey. Drawing the style of the tattoo I wish to do, is a way to practise the style before I tattoo it. As I love the black and grey style of tattooing, I have the urge to go home and draw. I believe if a tattoo artist only tattoo black and grey style, they will be limited by the reference. Drawing a black and grey style of art, it enables you to learn how the shadow falls in the subject, it allows the artist to think outside the box while doing a tattoo, drawing black and grey it allows the artist to go beyond the reference, and deliver a more artistic black and grey tattoo. I understand nowadays technology has changed a lot of trades including tattooing. So a lot of tattoo artists believe they don’t need to draw, as photoshop and tools allow them to deliver a copied image from google. However if you dedicate to drawing what you tattoo, you can give more than a google image.

South American Half Sleeve Tattoo

  By

I have been have a lot of fun with this South American half sleeve black and grey tattoo. This is not the final picture, as we have just one more session left on it. Doing a tattoo like that, you have to be able to draw, as a lot of tattoos nowadays are made from google images. However this South American form of art is non existent nowadays, and a lot of these images, from these old South American civilisations, are so decayed and not very clear to recognise the full image, of what their art looked like. So what I did was to find pieces and parts of puzzled ancient art. And put them all together and create our own version of that ancient art. And I absolutely love that. When me and the client create a new version of what they are trying to achieve, therefore, the client has their request full field with a piece of art created just for them. That tattoo, you will not see anywhere else, because my client allowed me to create something just for him. And I’m so grateful that he had faith, gave me freedom to express myself, with that attitude, it’s more likely you will achieve a better tattoo.

Thank you

Black and Grey Swallow and Rose Tattoo

  By ,
I free handed this black and grey Tattoo, it was his first tattoo. He had faith to let me free hand it, so it helped me to go ahead with it. I wanted to give him something original, instead of picking an image from google images. I feel like some images on google are being repeatedly tattooed on so many times, as nowadays it’s so easy to mix match images on the iPad, so that’s the new trend now. So I try to step away from it, as I feel like it becomes very robotic the tattooing process, and thousands of people end up with same tattoo.

Colour Portrait of Chucky, out of movie Child’s play by Louis Santos

  By ,

I have been working with Gareth for a while, however, when he asked me for a horror sleeve I was really happy with the request. We have worked on a colour portrait of Chucky, I didn’t want to get an image from google, so I watched the movie, and was happy when Chucky was in a snow scene, I liked the way it looked, so did Gareth. I’m happy to take movie related tattoos, it doesn’t have to be horror as I love any portraits out of movies, thank you Gareth
