So this was fun today at the tattoo studio! A custom geometric snowflake Mandela – and her first tattoo! The black line work and grey shading really compliment one another to set off the detail in this custom piece.

My friend Ali’s custom black and gray Hamsa tattoo has a fantastic mix of texture, shading, and detail. Bigger is better when it comes to tattoos, because I can incorporate more when I have more space to work with!

Here’s a nice coverup from today! While I prefer to avoid relying on black and gray to cover color, this design lent itself well for several reasons:
1. Size large – bigger always covers better than smaller.
2. Detail – serves well to distract from the underlying tattoo.
3. Shading and texture – the black shadows and textures provide ways to camoflage existing lines and color.
4. Flexibility – with coverups it’s always helpful to be willing to have some flexibility with everything from detail to size and position.

Enjoying some drawing time today between clients with coffee and tunes! This piece will be an extensive panel. A geometric custom tattoo that will start with a half sleeve and then wrap up over the shoulder and transition into a pectoral panel. Stay tuned for more photos!

Fresh pea pods! Originally based off of a woodcut design of a single pea pod, we customized this tattoo to represent a number of life passages. And added some greens to give the woodcut style vibrancy.
