Reinventing The Tattoo Forum

Did you started this tattoo already? I'm curious about how would that fit the forearm! =) The drawing looks cool, and that thing about the dogs chest pattern is crazy hehe

Thank you for your reply. It's to go on the outer forearm, old man winter at the wrist, mountains before the elbow and the heart shape flowing into the inner forearm. :) I haven't tattooed this yet or even done the large drawing yet so any feedback can be helpful before I do that :)

I'm curious to see this tattoo! How is it going? haha

Hey ?? So here's the finished piece. Took 4 hours. He's super stoked on it and I was rather happy as well. A couple parts in the smoke where I feel like I should have gone a wee bit lighter but I'll see how it heals. 

Finally! hehehe

It looks nice man, wanna see it healed, but it has some strong contrast as far as I can see! Good job!

         The design is solid and great job incorporating the heart pattern with the wind element.  In the tattoo itself i thinnk punching the black saturation in further around the face, the shaded elements in the wind behind the snowflake, and around the silhoutte of the mountain might make it more vibrant.  Maybe play around with the current photo you posted in photoshop and see what its like.

Thank you so much for the feedback, guys! I'll definitely see if I can get another look at it all healed up so that I can tell where it can use some pumped up contrast. If I get a photo I'll put it up here. I see the face for sure could use some extra black in the shadows. I think he's getting another tattoo this summer so I can probably convince him to take a little bit of time on this arm :)

Is really nice piece love the details on the snowflakes ....I just feel the wind is a little hard compared to the snowflakes maybe...the wind could have softened a bit ....well executed though ...one sitting ?

Fully healed

Oh and yes it was one sitting.
