Tats

[Hesher]

A couple days ago my local tattoo shop (Haze) hired me to make new designs for them. I need you guys to request/give ideas for me to draw.

Try to come up with things that the general audience would like, as in, anyone could have this tattoo and NOT a custom picture that would only apply to you. post things along the lines of size, style, color, reference material, ect... and for the love of GOD no anime related pictures.

oh and If your idea sucks I won't do it btw.

Don't take this the wrong way, but there are minor issues with both of these that would render me not wanting to have them inked onto my skin permenantly.
Cloth folds, that sort of thing.

k everything on this page sucks and Ive taken the time to practice and make something worth posting. its WIP but a general idea of how much I don't want to fuck this up.

Don't post CnC until its done but I still want ideas.

I don't mean to be a dick, but do you have much experience in tattooing?
I'm not exactly an educated party either, but some of these look a bit too fiddly to work as tattoos; too many fine details don't usually work too well in tattooing. Mostly I'm thinking the concentric curves in the biohazard eye and the feather details on the girl on the bike. It looks fine as a drawing but if you're going for a tattoo look you might wanna simplify them a bit.

Speaking of the girl on the bike:
HOLY WOW.
The shading on the girl is really really good; you've obviously got a good eye for form. That stomach is damn near perfectly shaded.
The bike on the other hand kind of says "I am scared of drawing this"; the bit behind the seat and the very front are looking fine, but the middle part looks kinda.. lumpy. You should work some greater range of tone in; both some lighter parts and some darker, because it's looking kind of muddy there. I'm going to assume you didn't have clear reference for the bike? If you're unsure of something research the hell out of it. It can be pretty boring but it's also very necessary.

Edit:
GEE ZEEMORT YOU SHOULD LEARN TO READ
Didn't see you were actually doing this for a tattoo shop, so I'm sure if the detail thing's a problem you'll have already been told.
Just out of interest, are you gonna end up doing any tattooing, or are you just designing? Once I've got some shit out of the way I might be doing an apprenticeship in tattooing and piercing c:

You got some nice tats in here Preed. Keep up the good work. The clover and the world would be awesome to have as a tattoo. I was thinking maybe you could do some kind of samurai as a tattoo. Here are some ideas you could based your design on:

Hope you decide to make a samurai and that you like the idea. Keep the good work.

Actually Zeemort Ive been waiting for an apprentice position for a while now. The last apprentice got fired and now they want me to come in for an interview tomorrow! 8D

and you're right, I rushed a lot of the bike because I dont know mechanical anatomy as well as human anatomy..

some fast work; took about 3 hours



edit: heres a scale down, which I think would work as a small tattoo and not a back piece. the heart is just a preview of some filler Im thinking up.
