I own just about every "how yo draw the head" book there is and im always looking for more . i'm always studying them and real faces when i can trying to grasp and understand as best i can. so thanks for letting me feel like it's paying off even a little bit.

Mel Noir Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 These are all beautiful! I really love the way one of my friends, Ian Parkin, does lady heads. I think right now this is my favourite. I posted this up on the Inkslingers blog the other week, but more has been added to this, which I saw the other day. I just haven't had the chance to put up the current picture yet. If you check out the blog here you'll see loads more, I even have one of my own from him. Anyway...

jade1955 Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I've already posted this one on another thread "Latest Tattoo Lowdown". But I thought I would post this again. Second session on my wife. Tattooed by Stewart Robson at Frith Street Tattoo, London. I cant stop looking at it. s33ktruth, AlannaCA, Roca53 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/258-lady-heads/?page=4#findComment-12424 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart Robson Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 I'm sure I'm repeating everything here but... Lady heads are super hard to make nice and super easy to fuck up. I don't have examples or links but some tattooers who I think do/did awesome lady heads (and add their own flavour) are, in no particular order: Chris Conn Valerie Vargas Isaac Fainkujen Bart Bingham Theo Mindell Jack Rudy Sleepy G Bob Wicks Justin Weatherholtz seems to be great at everything. Steve Boltz Chad Koeplinger Chris Garver Tim Hendricks There are plenty of tattooers who constantly do great tattoos but these spring to mind mostly because of their individual subtleties with lady heads. I also didn't include realistic style girl heads 'cos that's slightly different. The girls on most of the zeis flash have some great little nuances too. abees, Aaron Francione, Lochlan and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment https://www.lastsparrowtattoo.com/forum/t/258-lady-heads/?page=4#findComment-12426 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Hyena Posted July 27, 2011 Share Posted July 27, 2011 Thanks for the kind words, james. I completely co sign the Lina Stigsson tattoos and paintings. I fucking love her work. Kills me. I gotta say here, though. Not come off like an ass kisser at all, but I have always been partial to how Scott Sylvia does lady heads. So absolutely tattoo looking and completely un-pretentious, but still pretty and charming. I'm a big sucker for charm in a tattoo, especially when it's perfectly fitted with looking bad ass or tough. And that's a very hard thing to do. It's one of those things that only comes with years of experience, analysis, trial and error, study, and love for your craft. His painting in the Bella book kills most of the other fancier ones in there for me because of how sincere it comes across. Truly mature tattooing.

So absolutely tattoo looking and completely un-pretentious. For Sure! I would extend that to everything Scott does, some subjects he does are mind-blowing, some are awesome and the rest are always first-class. Seeing his work healed, in the flesh is always a humbling experience.

MadeIndelible Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 I'll second Theo Mindell as one of the top lady-headers. I'll probably end up with one from him sometime soon. Also, I didn't see Cris Cleen mentioned in here, but I love his ladies. ALSO, that Dietzel flash on the last page is soooooo good.

Fancher Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 There have been tons of tattooers that have inspired me over the years (girl heads) . I would have to say the two people that had the biggest impact were Eric Hogan and Scott Silvia. In the early 90's (pre-internet) I had to go and look at people portfolios.... Scott and Eric set the bar for me personally (Girl heads Pin-ups...everything really) . Plus it was a way more of a impact to actually go in to a shop and see what people were tattooing. Sorry kinda getting off subject As far as Conn.. you really have to see his tattoos(Girl Heads) in person to really appreciate them. They look really nice in pictures but in person they are on a different level all together.
