From Awen’s archives… check out the watercolor gray work. It’s an unusual effect you don’t see everyday, providing depth and texture to a tattoo. Ka Chow!

Today’s Tattoo

… Today’s tattoo, an example of how size grants you room for intricate detail, not only on line work but also in color and shading. And also a reminder of warm days to come when these majestic birds settle in the wild shore grasses of Minnesota, warming in the sun… niiiice.

Here’s a fun pic of a colorful piece from my archives! Old school (not in the fun way) tattoo artists insist that tattoos require a heavy black outline. “Not true” I say! While the black outline does serve a meaningful purpose in some designs, there are situations in which the black is unnecessary. When we look at objects in life, the only time we see a black edge is when the subject is in shadow. When an item is illuminated we see color. So, when we render a subject as a tattoo it rocks to go all the way and render it in full living color!
