Chicano Head Tattoo
Manchester Tattoo Studio
Tattoo studio near me
Chicano style of tattoos, is a Style I like to do, specially being Latin American, I appreciate and enjoy doing South American related art. Chicano style of Tattoos were made to represent Latin American outlaw culture in the beginning, however, now it has become a Tattoo style and culture that’s collected by tattoo fans all over the world.
You do not have to be Latin American to enjoy and collect Chicano related tattoos. Art is to be enjoyed by whoever appreciates it, and Chicano tattoos, has increased in popularity over the years. I do see a lot of youngsters choosing Chicano style tattoos for their full arm sleeve or full leg sleeve.
With this tattoo I want to share with you guys, it was my latest Chicano tattoo project, the client requested a female Chicano style face on his head, with a Cherub, holding a gun, in the back of his head.
When the client first walked in the studio, he requested, a the full top of his head done in one session, and I had to inform him that tattoos can not be rushed in order to have it done in one session. He agreed with it, and I was happy to look in to his request.
First I did a photoshop idea with my iPad to show him, I believe giving the client a small taste of what they are going to have done, this process can put the client at ease, and as artists, we have to understand that something that’s clear in our mind is not going to be clear in somebody else’s head. We are creative as artist’s and we are very visual, however, not every client has a creative mind set like us, therefore, helping the client with a photoshop idea of how their Tattoo is going to look, it can help with the client’s confidence and peace of mind.
Starting the tattoo, I was very impressed how good the ink was going in his head, it was a lot more natural than I thought. So in the end we did manage to finish the top of his head in one session, however, for the tattoo being on his head, I was concerned about how it was going to heal, so I made sure to book a touch up session before he left the studio.
The tattoo healed well for the first session, however, I was glad we booked the touch-up session, as I could push and pull my values, and add contrast.
So in that video you are watching the tattoo is fully healed, after I also added a cherub in the back of his head, holding a gun. Is overall a very complete Tattoo on his head and he sat really well for it.
