Maori-inspired and flowers shoulder tattoo designs

Hi,

The first few months of my blog, it had around 100 to 200 unique visitors a day.
But in the last few weeks it's slowly raised to 450 people each day, so I will keep on posting and show you the tattoo projects I'm working on.

For a new customer I designed a Maori shoulder piece with some flowers scattered on the design.
The design is based on a custom tattoo I did earlier.

It's symmetrical in the lower part of the tatoo and the shoulder part is roundish with a nice curl or koru.













Once the design is traced and uptimized I export it in high resolution and make a linedrawing, so the customer can take this to his tattoo artist and apply it on his skin.

Comments please! :)

Regards, Mark

Maori-inspired armband tattoo + update shoulder design

Hi,

As I promised yesterday, I am working on a Kirituhi armband tattoo. The size is roughly 8 cm wide and 28 cm long. This tattoo has to wrap seamless around the arm. Personally I really like symmetrical designs, so the here's the first sketch.









I published some tattoo photo's a few days ago, some sketches for the shoulder of a Colombian customer.

He asked me to change the design a little, so here's another photo of the tattoo design.
Smaller pieces and a different kind of filling this time.
Hopefully I can show you the finished tatoo design in a few days.




















I try to keep you updated every day, so please check back soon for some new designs.

Kind regards, Mark

Forearm tatoo design seamless fit

Hi There,

This week I have been working on a large project, a maori / kirituhi forearm design.
Like other sleeves, this tattoo design had to be wrapped around the forearm completely and make a seamless fit.

Here you'll see a few pictures of the design in different stages:












The size of the design is 27 cm high and the width at the elbow is 30 cm and at the wrist it's 18 cm.

To make sure the design fit's seamless I first draw one side of the design and copy it. Then I place it against the other side and continue the design. I always try to keep the lines flowing and the fills interesting.

The customer liked the tattoo immediately, so I only had to make some minor changes to this drawing. Here are a few pictures of the process of tracing the design:















Tomorrow I will be working on an armband in maori / kirituhi design. Really enjoying this kind of projects, where I can use my own style and mix it with Maori shapes and symbols.

Regards, Mark

New blog on Maori tattoo designs

Hi!

Today I started my new weblog, to give you some information on my tattoo designs and give an inside look on how I create the images.
I always loved to draw and sketch, but for the past five years I have been creating Maori and other tribal tattoo designs.

On the 1st of July, my new tattoo website went online.
It's a webshop for all my tattoo designs. Customers can purchase the high resolution designs, to use for a personal tattoo.
I also do custom pieces, just contact me for details and pricing.
