Sumi tiger
Sol eyed salmon half sleeve
This was a really fun and challenging project. This young man was from Alaska and a fisherman. He wanted a sok eyed salmon, but he wanted it to be how they look when they are in the ocean, Which is this iridescent look. Now this is hard to do in the first place but then to translate that look into a traditional Japanese style tattoo was another challenge. I wasn't sure until I put the last color in it if it had worked out or not. So here it is. Let me know what you think.

A good start
A little free hand action
When I initially started this I had a Nicely drawn out golden eagle. But it just wasn't fitting in his arm right. I tried to re draw it a little, still not sitting right in his arm. So at last I just broke out the brush pens and was like "here we go!" it was a little sketchy before we started. But I think he could see where I was going with it. It ended up being a fun tattoo. I always live doing the feet in birds. Tends to be my favorite part.
