Tribal Flames


Tribal Flames added to Zodiac signs. Originally on this design I had one flame coming off the signs, but the night before I did it I couldn't stop thinking about the single flame design, so I got up early the next morning after a night of tossing and turning over the original single flame design and re-designed the whole thing into 3 separate flames giving it better balance and making it much more solid. One of the main reasons I insist on having time and working on a design over the course of a week. Even though I can have a design finished in 20 to 30 minutes there's always things u can add or change to make the tattoo better.

Tribal


I hate doin Tribal work!!! Creatively it's like taking a blank sheet of paper and coloring it in black lol. Tribal really test an artist patience. The very bottom looks weird, but it was just glare.

Sunflower


Sunflower done with Eternal Inks Lightning Yellow (healed to an amazing color). I was a little hurried on this one and couldn't add shading to the petals. If your coming for a tattoo be prepared to have time and let the artist do what he has to do.

Celtic Knot-Work tying 3 Zodiac signs together


Used Celtic knot-work to tie 3 Zodiac signs together. Colors came from each months birthstone color.
