Honestly, I need to get them touched up, they have not aged well over the years. :/

You seriously drew those? Would you consider to make a design for my next one?

Yep, I actually have a BFA In Illustration from Parsons School of Design in NYC. When I went I did not touch a computer, still did everything by hand, such as those drawings.

And absolutely I would consider it. I have actually designed a few peoples ink over the years.

This is my buddys whole back and arms...

back_ENTIRE.jpg

The Moon and the Eye are the tops of his shoulder blades on each side. The Heart & Bird are smack dab in the middle of his back, and go down near his waist, it is HUGE in size.

I actually consider it an honor to design people's ink, not only is a permanent and I realize this, but it is also my own artwork, so that is indeed an honor IMO.

I also try to best to meet my clients needs so to speak, so if I need to alter my own style to fit what you want, such as for my friends ink above, I do so as long as it is not a huge departure, because then if it is, I might as well not be drawing it.

Just full disclosure, it will probably take me a good while. I am on to the next phase of my friends above ink, starting on his chest soon, so I need to whip that up one of these days.

But if you have some ideas, run them by me in a PM, will see what can be done. (Y)

I love tattoos and body art. I have 5 of them on different areas. Dragons are my theme and I love every one of them:

I'm getting these two tattoos soon, one on each inner forearm. My friend drew them for me recently, it's lyrics from one of my favourite songs that I've wanted as a tattoo for ages :)

One skull on my left forearm, and the dragon head on the other...

One of the flames and stars and dice is on my right calf... the star colors are the birth stone colors of my parents and myself. with the year I was born in the ribbon. The skull and dragon head, I just liked how they looked.

About two hours. Funny thing it's that it didnt hurt at all while filling but it hurt like a b*tch the next day.

Got this done in 2009, my first tattoo. Planning on having something similar to this on my chest/shoulders soon.

That looks awesome. You've inspired me for my next one. :)
