Makar Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 I know there are many answers possible to this query and it is a personal choice... blah blah... but my brain is fried thinking about next steps. Gimme some thoughts please! I want to continue down the arm, probably full sleeve but not necessarily in neo trad style. My general leaning is towards wildlife, snake, flowers, maybe a bit of a horned god cernunnos thrown in... Would you go for something that has a full flow or just join individual things up. It could be japanese I reckon but could it look cool with realism or black & grey for instance? This was a cover up and although happy enough with it I really feel it isn't a finished piece. But I don't need to tell you guys that ;-) What would you do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gingerninja Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 You have so many great choices in the UK. If you're not in a big rush, hit up the London Tattoo Convention in later this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not against travelling anywhere, just need to have an idea what I'm looking to do as a follow on from the raven - content and style. Flowing theme or spliced, unrelated individuals. Morag Sangster (or Richard Pinch but talked to Morag and she seems cool) in Scotland for Japanese, countless others for B&G or neo traditional, realism etc. If I was to start with a blank arm, that would be easy (okay maybe just easier). To be honest, just like my movies, I am often more interested in how they look (and sound - movies) as to what they are saying but a good story is always a bonus. Colours and detail, love the attached, for example, by Kurt Wiscombe of Canada or something similar to Tomo's Japanese sleeves - perhaps get somebody to swap out the Japanese Noh mask demons for a pagan horned god and splice the cultures? This is turning into a self help post... maybe I just need to express it publicly... anybody feel free to discuss actual styles and content ;-) ?
