Artistic Process: Some new machine work

Well... Skin And Bone celebrated it's 5 year anniversary at New Years!

Just wanted to thank all of our clients who were willing to make the move with us and to all the new clients who have found us. Also a special thanks to all of our foreign clients who make the pilgrimage to get a special tattoo as well as our talented guest artists who have helped to give the studio the respect it deserves.

Just finished up a few machine projects since Christmas I wanted to share.

Enjoy!

Yann from the Basse region in France came over for a second visit to finish his Tetra Dragon sleeve

 Close up of 3 of the 4 dragons

Panorama view

Unfortunately the best tattoos can't be photographed as still life... they have to be seen in real life

Thor... you've got mail

Thor's Hammer, Mjølner with his two goats Tanngrisnir & Tanngnjóstr who pull his chariot across the sky to the sound of rolling thunder. Added a nordic dotwork pattern to the background to complete this "Armour of Thor"

A Celtic Cross with Nordic influences

Better to be safe than sorry :-)

 A simple Rune Dragon with the names of his family.

Thick, straight lines and a few dots... a speciality of mine :-)

Done over about 7 hours... excluding the freehand drawing
