Lady Heads

[Ryan Wakelin]

I really like when lady heads are done with tons of black hair, like Joel Soos, all that flowing dark line work... Anyone have any tips how to develop that?

@Ryan Wakelin - here's one of the forum rules.

"Do not start threads asking about specific tattooing equipment or techniques, LST is not here to teach anyone how to tattoo. Ask your own tattooer, the next time you are getting tattooed. Maybe they'll answer you, maybe they won't."

Oops, sorry, just got here!

I'm sure she's been mentioned here already but Kim Anh Nguyen's lady heads are beautiful. I have a gramaphone piece from her but I need to get back to the Dam to get a lady head.

Guen Douglas also does some lovely lady heads but I think I prefer her man heads.

Would love to get a portrait of my parents done by Kim and Guen.

Kim certainly does beautiful lady heads. I was lucky enough to get in with her at the Montreal convention last year, and this is what she put on me [inspired by Josephine de Beauharnais]:

It's not in the same league as some of the beauties in this thread but here's a little black and grey number I did last week.

My lovely lady.

Edited to say it was right after it was done and that's why she's kind of bloody.

Nice. I like black and grey. Getting one on my thigh by Anderson Luna next month.

Beautiful.

Another one that may have been mentioned here and also based in Amsterdam is Lina Stigsson. I may be heading back to Amsterdam later in the year and Kim Anh won;t be there going by her Instagram so might try and get something done by Lina.

Wanted to share a fun tattoo I got to do.

So thanks for the butterfly Lady Head help! Thought you'd appreciate the result.

This one is about 13 years old. It was done by Milford Barnes in San Diego. Although I like the more detailed ones, there is just something about a nice bold traditional girl head.

Let me preface this by saying that yes I Googled and used the search function and still couldn't find this.

That said...does anyone have any pics of mariachi/charra ladyheads? That's my next piece and I would like a reference picture or two to bring to the artist.

I believe Tamara Santaibanez does guest spots at Rock of Ages. I think she just did this there this week.

Lady heads are my favorite type of tattoo. Most of my current and planned tattoos are variations on that theme. It's something I never get tired of seeing.

My absolute favorite to date is Valerie's punk rock Virgin Mary.
