Tattooed Designs That I Did

here are some samples so far of the designs i did that got tattooed on skin. tattoo artists are ariel, billy and nancy from cruz creations tattoo where i'm having my training and darius from underground tattoos both from san jose, california. it excites me to think that my designs will be permanently on people's skin. a lot different from paintings because your canvas are humans.

i tried selling my flashes in shops in hayward 2 weeks ago with no luck but one of the tattoo artists i was trying to sell my flashes to said that i was doing the right thing making flashes first before tattooing because he said that a tattoo artist must first develop his drawing style before using the needle. he also acknowledged the flashes i did. he has not seen any filipino flashes in his 15 years of tattoing. so that's nice to hear.

i used to think that tattooing should be the same as drawing but it's not. there are lots of different rules you have to follow in tattooing because of it's limitations like you cannot use too many lines because if you do, lines too close to each other will close out in time. in tattooing... bolder is better.

i'm also learning a bit about the japanese style through billy and some alibata through ariel.

thank you billy, ariel, nancy, robert and darius for your generosity.
