elcapitanosparros Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Hey folks, just looking for a bit of feedback / advice on my first half-sleeve tattoo. It's only the outline so far, going in to have a 3 hr session tomorrow for colour and shading. Any advice on what you'd add or do differently? I was thinking of adding some japanese kanji in a box like you see on traditional works and what-not though not sure. Album is here. Thanks. tatB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CultExciter Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 Looks fine as is. Let the artist, who seems pretty competent, take care of it. tatB, beez and hogg 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elcapitanosparros Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Not sure what you are expecting for feedback... Do you have any concerns about it? Just looking for feedback on the piece and if folks would add anything, I was specifically thinking about putting a kanji box on it, and thinking of what would compliment it with a full sleeve Wasn't there a previous post in regards to this tattoo ? Yeah is this cool? I thought that was just the introduce yourself forum? If not I can delete? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Weder Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 (edited) Yeah. Leave it in the hands of the tattooer. It'll come up trumps. While he's working on this piece, start throwing some ideas together on how you can extend it down to the wrist. ...some animal features would be cool. A big dragon outer forearm, tiger inner & use the same background to tie it all in. Any subject matter mate, whatever you like. That's the thing I like about sticking with one tattooer, it's kinda like we design on going work together. Looking good anyway Edited August 5, 2014 by Mick Weder error daveborjes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Hua Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I think it looks great. The artist looks like he knows what he's doing. Post up some progress pictures when you get a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcapitanosparros Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Hey folks, Here's an update on the piece I've had 2 sessions since my first post and am due for one more. What do you guys think about colouring the rest of the tatt? I've got a colour in mind for the oni. - - - Updated - - - My only gripe with it is the two flowers right down the bottom seems out of place. tatB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kzv20 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Looks good. Don't over think on the design and let your artist do his thing. SeeSea and misterJ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I have to agree with @kzv20 don't over think the design and let the artist do his job. Although I know what it is like keep looking and find every fault in it. My 1st big piece I did the same but now I see it for what it is. A great piece of art. Nice work btw who is the artist?

elcapitanosparros Posted October 13, 2014 Author Share Posted October 13, 2014 Apologies for the big ass photos everyone, I should've just done the album link. Just regarding the oni I was thinking green and the artist is thinking red to make it look more angry. The only thing I'm confused about, I reckon green would look sick though. Artist is Garth at Light house tattoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elcapitanosparros Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Any thoughts on green or red for the oni? tatB 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Any thoughts on green or red for the oni? Learn about colour theory, get a colour wheel, consider the other colours in the tattoo and do the oni in whatever colour works best given all that. Or trust your artist's judgement because that's how he's deciding on colours. daveborjes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MMx5 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 Awesome looking. Like everyone else is saying, he knows what he's doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
