Hey

[Jiko]

Hey I'm new here. I joined because I have a specific picture which I want to be my first tattoo just not sure if its possible. So I need help from you guys to find out weather such a drawing can be painted on skin. Thanks. 

 

Not sure when I'll be able to open threads in other categories so I'll post the picture here..?

I think you can post other threads after 10 posts on the forum.

And I don't think that will work well as a tattoo. Too many fine lines that will thicken and blur with time, leaving you with a black blob in a few years time. Even if you did that as a massive backpiece, it's just too many lines too close together. What may work better is something like Ron Henry Well's smoky/drippy designs (pictured is an example), still sort of abstract and giving that fading in/out look that the drawing has, but with shading, which will hold up infinitely better.


I would suggest finding a really good, creative artist, and giving them free reign to come up with something inspired by that picture. We can offer suggestions maybe if you say where you're located.
