Here's an update after awhile been little bit busy in the studio. Finished Mark's rib after 3sessions of patient 14hours total. Background all healed up.
He sat like a champ for his first big piece and on his rib. Big Guts comes with good pain but yeah, first session gone pretty smooth. No complains at all. Looking forward to finish it up, 2sessions to go filling in the colors and tighten up some part with all the background.
The funny thing about doing this tattoo is when the guy randomly choosed a design. I was like , are your really sure you wanted to get "A Tribal EYE" , and he said "Nope". Sure thing. This what i came up with after scrolls over few references.
1st session for a dragon. full sleeve lotus inner arm. The dragon is from the Great Filip Leu flash. I really had fun on this piece, looking forward to finish the sleeve up.
Here's a piece for a returning client who wanted to get his forearm sleeved.
Alright , Here what we did the whole day. Pip started the tiger under the tree and while i did the rest for about 6hrs and stop right about the leaves and pip finishes all. Couldn't stand anymore, before i started the trunk, i was tattooing another guy for a tribal touch-up and after there's a client coming over that day for a tattoo. It was pretty hectic that day until we had to reject walk-ins who came all the way from Kota Belud just for a tattoo. Pity guy but we had to do it. Total hours is about 9-10hrs. Few ciggy's break tho.
A Cover-up . Design was bought by the client. Having a hard time getting the right size for it. Haven't upload quite lately, was a bit hectic in the shop. So here's an update after all the storm.
We did an identical tattoo last night. It was funny and fun piece cause when i went to pip's stations , he stopped tattooing and covers the tattoo he did. I did the same when he sneek. We finished the tattoo at 2am in the morning. I was too tired doing mine as i did 1 koi sleeve before "Quan". Nearly Fainted (NOT) . hahahaha
Saint Michael The Archangel. A first tattoo for him as a first saint michael for me. It was fun, he sat like a champ for the whole 5hrs. At the last bit, i almost lost my patience. Anyway , here's a try.
A simple tattoo what i did today. It's quite pretty hectic today as we close till midnight. Well, i left pip alone in the shop after attending a small occasion. Anyway , the tattoo symbolize "Jesus" . In english it refers to a symbol consisting of two intersecting arcs, the end of the right side extending beyond the meeting point so as to resemble the profile of a "fish", said to have been used by Early Christians as a secret symbol.
A quick update what i did today. First tattoo for him.
It was a fun tattoo, i spent the whole 6hrs on this. It was tiring yet was a good experience. Adrian Taylor did gave me few useful tips. Aj Taylor always complaining about me tattooing so fast. Awesome.
I did this tattoo 5years ago. It was an early starts for me in this field. I had to copy other artistes work until i discovered my own. Well, whos not?
This tattoo is based on Legendary Tattoo artist, Paul Booth. A client bought this reference to me and wanted it done.
I did this tiger for a navy while working under Aj Taylor and Hwee lo at True Hate Tattoo Studio. It was a remembrance tattoo for a mother of his. He sat like a champ.
