Full Thigh Colour Phoenix Tattoo
It was a pleasure working with Saba. She requested me to draw the Phoenix for her, and she said the reason why she chose me, it was because she saw my drawing portfolio. In my eyes all tattoo artists should have an art portfolio, because if not, how can they be considered artists? The word tattoo artist has lost its meaning nowadays, as anyone who tattoos is a tattoo artist. A tattoo artist is someone who brings outside knowledge from painting and drawing to the tattooing craft, in order to make a better tattoo. Thank you
Colour Portrait of Chucky, out of movie Child’s play by Louis Santos
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
Humming bird and Caribbean flowers tattoo by Louis Santos
Tattooing Ariane was such a good experience, she is very patient and has a good attitude. We previously worked on a realistic lioness on inside of her forearm, and then I was happy when she requested more realism work. She requested a humming bird with Caribbean flowers, and as I felt comfortable with her, I free handed the whole process and we were both happy with the end result. Thank you so much Ariane.
Portrait of Notorious BIG, oil on board, work in progress
Working in progress of this oil on board of Notorious BIG, I have been working on. I loved the series on Netflix, that’s what inspired me to work on this oil painting. I must admit, I wasn’t a big fan of Notorious BIG when o first heard his music, however Joe listened to it so many times on the studio that it grew in to me, now I love his music. Thank you for checking it out, I will be uploading an image of the finished painting.
Realistic Skull Octopus
Skull Octopus black and grey tattoo
Realistic, black and grey, skull and octopus, fantasy tattoo. I love doing large tattoos, so when I get requested large pieces, I’m sure to look after the client as much as I can, as I understand it takes a lot of dedication from the client to come back, take a day off, save up, stick through out the process. So, I was grateful when Carl walked in the studio, he is such a cool dude, and made the process really fun. Thank you Carl.
Lotus flower Japanese full sleeve
Full completion of Andy’s full sleeve Japanese in colour. Thank you Andy you are such a patience guy who never looses the faith required to achieve a full sleeve. Thank you
Black and grey realistic eye
I have been tattooing Preet for a few years now. She likes to get realism tattoos done in black and grey, so I look forward to see her. She requested a realistic eye tattoo with a vinyl spinning to represent her love for music. I also draw realism to learn about shadows, when you draw a realistic image, you can understand better how shadows fall on the subject. Thank you
Thor Marvel digital painting
I have heard there’s a new Thor movie coming out, and I can’t wait to check it out. Marvel is closer to my heart, as they were the reason I became an artist. If it wasn’t for Stan Lee’s creativity. I wouldn’t be a tattoo artist today. When I was a kid I was obsessed with buying comics. And that’s all we had, however it was good, because comics, they develop your imagination, they make you wonder that scene you are reading about, where when you watch a movie, they create all the imagination for you.
