Tribal tattoo wrapping around the forearm

Hi!

As promised, here's another design projects I have been working on in the weeks behind.
Forearm and leg tattoos (especially symmetrical designs) are my favourite pieces to draw. I really like the idea of a flowing design that is not too complicated, that gives a nice clean look. That is also why I use symmetry a lot.
This design is for a customer from the UK, he wanted a complete forearm tattoo, wrapping around and having a seamless fit.

You can see the tatoo sketches below:

I started with the flowing koru curles and added a line of spear- or arrowheads in the centerline of the tattoo. Then I made some fills with lines and triangles and the 6 small curls bending towards the arrowheads. Finally I added a few stars.

My customer liked some oldskool sharp tribal shapes, so in the second sketch you can see that I added it to the design:


















I get quite a large amount of requests for custom tattoos, so I have to pick and choose the design projects I like best. If you are interested in this kind of designs, for the forearm or lower leg, you can contact me by here.

Till soon!

Oohps, almost forgot to show you the final result :)

photo shoulder tattoo 143

Hi,

I received a really nice photo from one of my customers. A few months ago he ordered shoulder tattoo 143 from my gallery and here's the finished piece:

His tattoo artist extended the design, to make it fit his arm.














I'm working on a few custom designs, so I will get back soon with new sketches and finished tattoo designs

Tattoo design in Polynesian / Mixed tribal style

Hi!

As a graphic designer I get a lot of requests for custom designs.
The average sketch takes me around a week to finish, so I can only do 4 custom tatoos each month. To make sure I only focus on my own style and designs, I decided to stop doing cover-ups and extensions existing tattoos. It just takes too much time and the result doesn't really satisfy me, as a complete new and fresh design does.

Enough on this point, now the new tattoo stuff...

Here's the latest custom tattoo design. It's a combination of Polynesian, Maori and other tribal styles and it is for the shoulder and upperarm.















At the moment I'm working on another custom maori style piece, a shoulder design which is a combination of Shoulder tattoo 140 and 142 from my website.

Will be back soon to show you some new designs.

Kind regards, Mark
