Commission

Tattoo Design for Scott

I got this commission because Wayne passed my name on after completing his design. I found this one to take longer than Wayne's. All Scott asked for was a cross to go around the text he already had "Tattylash". The problem wasn't fitting the cross around the text but the actual design for the cross, as he didn't have the slightest clue of what kind of cross he wanted. To begin with, I designed 16 different types of crosses. (Example photo below)

I did this so he could choose the ones he liked and then I'd have an idea to work with. Not long after sending him these designs, I came up with what became the final design. The tattoo is in memory of someone who has passed away and so I thought adding wings to the cross would give it more of a elegant, yet peaceful feel to it. Scott really liked the draft of this design, so I got to work on producing a good quality image. The image below took me approximately 14 hours to complete, I only used black pen and pencil for this design as he didn't want any colour added to it.

The image below is of the tattoo actually being done, unfortunately this image is of it only half completed, I have seen the final product and personally I think it looks amazing. The main thing is that Scott is happy with it.

On completing his cross design, Scott asked me for another design, which I am still yet to do.
