Evolution of a Tattoo

concept design, final design and completed tattoo
Today’s blog entry shows the evolution of a tattoo, from concept sketch to final draft and finally, the completed tattoo. The concept sketch is a simple initial sketch which captures the flow of the arm and introduces the various design components. The journey from concept sketch to final draft refines the design and begins to introduce some detail. The most notable transformation comes during the tattoo application itself when full detail, shading, color and texture are introduced.
