Androgin angel - How is made

  I think this is a interesting story "How is made" becose my costumer come with a strange request and references and finaly , I think we find a cool way to inke it !
  My costumer want an androgin angel on the sholder with some big wings , he brig this picture for reference , and a drawing for wings

He want also a face "not man / not woman" . When I see this request in the appointements book I think will loocks from 2 meters like an eagle.....and from 50 cm like Ville Valo  , but :D in the morning a Rocker wait me for this tattoo ! This make me fill better and we start build the image. In the begining I propose to choose the face references Sebastian Bach from Skid Row (when he was 20 years :) and my costumer like the idee ! We choose this 2 pictures : Bret Michaels for the head engle ans Sebastian Bach for the details (face line)














  I start drawing the body sketch becose in the original pictures all is not clear and my costumer want all the muscles to be visibile

  This tattoo will be part from a sleeve project , we do not add th background and also is done without whitte , only black ink and long stroke hits !

The face was a challenge for me becose is 2 cm size and I want to give him "Lifetime Guaranty" , the hands also D: For the face I choose 9 magnum and 2 lined needles and Black ink , becose this I do not use whitte , I already have contrast betwen the black and skin and on this small size I prefere to inked all strong .

This was my last tattoo for 2011 , I hope I will have more cool requests in 2012 !!!!! I must said THANKYOU for all my costumers who trust me and help me to build my tattoo portofolio .

After more than 15 years

This devil project is a part of a sleeve I started at Black Thorn Tattoo Stutgart  . This was a moment that I wait before many years , to work again beside the man who open the door to the big tattoo world for me : my friend Kelu , the one who put for the first time in my life a tattoo machine in my hand and show me the first secrets to this art and lifestyle. This was more than 15 years before , around 1993 in Transilvania right after the communism time . In this time we try to discover the tattoo scene looking in the tattoos magazines , sometime with a lentile to catch how much informations we can , we spent many hours welding needles  and dreaming to the moment when we can be part of this world ….And now , here we are together again after many years with the same passion for the ink and needles living the dream that we have 15 years before !

   My costumer and my friend for this project is Sven , a big guy and bodybuilder , this mean I have a lot of skin to inked , his arm is almost a backpiece :D .

    He bring me a picture from internet for reference  , I do some sketch and I start the project . I keep the idée but I change the structure , the details and I try to use how much I can the body shape and line.

   This is the first sitting  , the freehand drawing and 5 hours of work . 

   Here is the second sitting , freehand the arm with a goat face and other 3 hours of work , you can se also the first part healed.
