rats win races, sloths succeed.
Posted by resonanteye on 03/12/2013
a reminder tattoo for a tattoo artist friend of mine. he wanted to remember to slow down, and do more focused work, instead of hurrying up and rushing himself. He is the kind of artist who feels a lot of pressure from his clients, he tends to feel so glad to be tattooing that he forgets that his work is valuable, that his BEST work is worthwhile…that people who want really good tattoos are willing to pay for them, and that he is capable of doing great tattoos, and therefore shouldn’t undervalue his time…
If you undercharge people, you start to feel rushed. it’s inevitable- you end up booked solid for months but barely making ends meet. hurrying up to get that tattoo done in time, in the small amount of time you quoted them for. it’s far better to quote high, to take your time, take that extra hour to do your VERY BEST work on people.
any rate- I love fucking sloths. And this one is particularly classy, too.
also,

a bouquet of tattooed flowers…
Posted by resonanteye on 03/12/2013
we did the outline for this a while back. She already had the pink carnation near the top, so we built a bouquet of her favorite flowers all around it. I like drawing and tattooing floral mixes like this. I feel like I’m a florist arrangement maker or something!
I think it’s in Japan, that along with household skills like cooking and decorating- floral arrangement and music are among the things women are expected to know and do well at. I keep trying to make these arrangement look natural, sometimes that’s a real challenge.

cobra lily cover-up.
Posted by resonanteye on 03/12/2013
original before cover-up, done very well by Lisa Hill. It’s a pity such a nice, dark and creamy tattoo had to get covered- but that’s what happens when you get small pieces in big spaces; eventually you want to fill that canvas, and the smaller tattoos have to get fit in or covered somehow.
my sketch for this cover-up. we’ve finished his upper arm, this is a sleeve of oregon places, animals and plants. So today we’re adding a section of cobra lilies.
here you can see the cover-up under the stencil/drawing. luckily the shapes are pretty close, so I can use the black line from the previous tattoo to add dark areas in the right places.

partially done. I used really bold lines in this piece.
the other part. oh yeah, and the beetle is one found on mt. hood.
we’ll finish the lichen, as well as start the back of his forearm, next time.

man daller.
Posted by resonanteye on 03/12/2013
peck and I have been discussing this piece for years, we finally got started on it.
This is only the beginning, we just barely got the linework roughed in during a four hour sitting.
