Maori flash to real tattoo photos

Hi,

Today I received two photos, one of a customer who bought "Shoulder tattoo 150" a few weeks ago. The tattoo healed and lookes really nice.
The second tattoo is the shoulderblade design I did on february 18th, you can see the sketches and work in progress in the previous posts.

Shoulder blade tattoo maori samoan style

Hi,

It has been a while, but I just finished a nice tattoo piece. It's a design for the shoulderblade and back.
My customer wanted to cover quite some skin, with nice Maori Kirituhi shapes and some Samoan patterns.

First I made a template from the measurements I received, and started sketching:

maori outlines art tattoo sketch designer onlineI really enjoy to make the first basic koru shapes, this gives the tattoo a nice flow and "cuts" the large template into smaller pieces that can be filled with other intricate patterns, like triangles, spearheads and repetitive lines.


Once the basic layout is set, I move on to the next fase.



My client asked for some Samoan patterns, which are mainly formed by even lines filled with very detailed shapes (upper left side of the tatoo):

In the centre of the pencil sketch I drew a row of arrowheads and triangles, but I removed it later as you can see in the completed sketch:

After optimizing it and creating a linedrawing I sent it to my customer.






Kind regards, Mark Storm

OMG!!

Well, what can i say?? the last few months have been mad busy for this lady! So many things happened i can hardly think where to start from!

i'd say, from Brighton and Milan convention 2011.....I had a real good time at both of them, i saw some friends i didn't see in ages and some others i don't get to see enough, like Crez and Stefy that are always some of the best people i ever met, with the strongest morals about the industry and life in general and that are grounded and fucking real, not wanna be divas!! They know their shit but yet don't act like they are better then everybody else! Being next to them really makes me want to evolve and grow as a person and tattooist....dedication!
so to celebrate the end of the most hectic 2 weeks of the year here's a little gallery of some of the tattoos i did!



brighton convention 2011, thanx Karen!
