Even though I don't have any, I love tattoos. I'm especially amazed by some intricate designs, vibrant colors, and even the ability to make something great with simplicity. I had an interest in them ever since elementary school, picking and wearing wash offs X-Men tattoos.
On occasion, I pick-up and flip through tattoo magazines, websites, and TV shows. I get more amazed by South Carolina tat artists because down here a great tattoo artist is as easy to find as a Chupacabra. Lately, I check out the coolest work by Jun Cha (in CA), BodyRites (in SC) and Yellowblaze (in Japan).
Start of this week I was watching Miami Ink and LA on night, the very next day at work I started doing a sketch and then inking it the next day. The shows and the sketch I made reminded me to get back working on my possible or never existing tattoo that I need to design for myself.
The drawing that's posted on here will start a series of devoted to tattoo influenced designs. And I'll aid color in separate posts.
