japanese tattoo, Koi, session 2

Although, Today I could see how weak my lines still are! (Partly due to the rush last session as I wanted draw all the lines in one session, even tho, I only had a short time). But no excuses! Tattoo requires of you! No excuses! Only discipline, skills and concentration! Anyway, I know I’ll fix this, while doing the shading, then go over the lines I want to make stronger! Also, yoday/today, I was very honoured due to the visit of a special guest, who came to me, to show me his amazing traditional japanese Back piece! I also was the first foreigner he ever met and spoke to, so it was a really amazing experience for me to exchange and share true respect; and love for tradition and the japanese/human spirit. Tattoos can be very intimate and private in Japan! Thank you for the honour! It was a real gift from life, to welcome him, and see the tattoo alive on him! I can tell you that guy had a really strong and beautiful spirit! That is what I love about Japanese People! You can be strong, and very humble!
Heart to Heart! Never lost in translation!

I chose to treat this piece more like a painting, so I’ll keep my spontanity flowing! Today some black and some shading!

Design Popular Tattoo 2010

Design Popular Tattoo 2010Do you love activity cards? You must have played at least. But ever absent through such an idea? How snappy this game tattoo looks! At the first sight you haw find it just to have a unique tattoo design. Don’t look at the game alone, there is something written with it, essay to get into the deep meaning. It reads- ‘It’s not the game your dealt in life, its how you play them‘ – that means life is like a gamble, play it to win it. Ups and downs are the exclusive truth of life. But subject to change. Thus go on playing, meliorate you know the trick, meliorate you’ll become out as the winner of situations. This card tattoo is an excellent visual representation of that great saying.
Design Popular Tattoo 2010Here is something rattling bizarre and scary. Thanks to the macabre tattoos inked every over his body, this ‘zombie boy’ is earning quite a good taste of tending for himself. With the inner organs patterned on his skin, a sudden looking makes digit feel as if he has been overturned inside out! The rib cages, spinal cords, tendons, and intestines are every tattooed to give a graphic notion of a living skeleton. What makes it more horrifying is the vivid portrayal of insects and spider webs within his system, which gives the full thing a somewhat raw look. The zombie pupil has hardly an progress left on his skin that hasn’t been inked upon. With brain cells highlighting his head, his eyes surrounded by black tattoo designs and the same goes for his jaws and neck, the effect is somewhat sinister. Hooded skulls however adorn his arms, connected with a few graveyard crosses. No wonder, every this makes him popular enough! Real zombies beware!
Design Popular Tattoo 2010As for whatever art, the substance is what matters most with tattoos. Tattoos are every about dedications; and that is here. As the tattoos are prefabricated for whatever perseverance and the pain gives pleasure; there has to be whatever purpose.

This is a very unequalled tattoo with the text expressing the feelings of the heart. With the water droplets in the body; this is rattling a chilled tattoo that module attain you feel hot. I rattling appreciate this simple idea of keeping ‘a example of heart’ in such a sexy position. The colouration of the body makes it countenance more spicy and attractive. You rattling have to wager it deep. With the bikini on; it is every instance suitable for the beaches. The representation of the foliage is very ideal to a amend carnival on the beach and thus suits this wonderful figure. This particular tattoo is very appropriate to be called a Summer Tattoo.

Chinese and Japanese Tribal Dragon Tattoos

Chinese and Japanese Tribal Dragon Tattoos


Dragon tattoos are one of the most popular designs all over the world. It can go in any category, whether abstraction, naturalistic, dedication, stylized or combination tattoos.

Throughout history, dragon tattoos have never been out of fashion and had been used as a symbol in some parts of the world. It can be drawn as menacing or regal depending on your choice of design.

Dragon tattoos come in two popular forms: the Chinese or Japanese dragon of the east with its long, snake-like body and the European dragon of the west with its powerful wings and long neck. The European dragon usually symbolizes power and fear, a depiction of evil where as the Chinese dragon usually symbolizes unity and conformity, a depiction of good.

You can find many different designs of dragon tattoos in different forms and colors. Some of these dragon designs have additional background scenery where they are depicted flying in the clouds, swimming in the ocean, crawling on top of mountains or ravaging small villages. But the most common depiction of a dragon is being done as tribal dragon tattoos due to both its simplicity (the majority color being in either black or gray with the additional color to highlight the dragon) and its complexity.
