Skull and snake

Tattooing often involves adapting and personalizing designs to fit a client's body and preferences. In my recent project, I worked with a client who was inspired by skull and snake flash art but I wanted to change the design that can be uniquely their own.

This is the original flash design. When I did a mock up on my client's skin, it doesn't quite fit well with her other existing tattoos. You can see a bit of overwrap where the butterfly is and the snake head is wrapping too much. So I decided to change the design a bit.

Here's new design and mockup. I like it because it fits perfectly on my client's body and leave just right amount of gap with her other tattoos.

This is the final result! I am very happy with this final look. It took about 4 and a half hours in total. Here's a breakdown of the equipment and techniques I used to bring this piece to life:

  • Ink Variety: I use a total of 20 different color inks.
  • Needles: I used four different types of needles to achieve various effects within the tattoo:
    • 7 Round Liner: Ideal for fine details and clean, crisp lines.
    • 11 Round Liner: Used for outlining to provide a thicker line weight.
    • 13 Curved Magnum: Perfect for smooth and precise shading.
    • 11 Round Shader: For shading small areas.
