icarrynightundermyarms got a reaction from viezure in Old Traditional Referance
I picked up a copy of Lost Love from Yellowbeak last year.
Totally amazing book, rich with tattoo heritage and full of a gold mine of ideas. Like Brian, I like to redraw the older ones. But, I'm no expert, it's just something I love doing. Here area couple of Doc King pieces I redrew and a Sailor Frank one (although that's more of a straight up repaint).

thanks for the mention @ibradley, i think if you want to make traditional tattoos, you should reference older tattoo flash. for me it gets a little boring to just repaint the older images, though there is nothing wrong with that. i have been applying the brion gysin/william burroughs technique of cut-ups to try to make something new, while staying very rooted in traditional tattoos. there is a great book called Milton Zeis: Tattooing As You Like it that you should check out if you haven't already. I'm including a picture of some of my latest flash, just to give you something to look at.

icarrynightundermyarms got a reaction from zetroc in Painting Methods & Materials
Hey!
just wanted to say thanks. This thread has been a wealth of knowledge for me.
finally getting somewhere with a mix of FW acrylics, talents drawing ink, PH Martens, nib pens and brushes. Picked up some arches cold press recently but I'm not 100% sold on it jus to yet. It is VERY rough in comparison to the Langton Prestige paper which I normally use. So far that is the best paper I have used. Works well for me. Here is a recent one I did using the materials above, but with Langton.

icarrynightundermyarms reacted to Transplant in Where does your username come from or mean?
transplants were my favourite band growing up, so i got to using this username.
However, a couple of weeks ago i actually had a hair transplant, so now the username has more relevance to me
