Under Training Foot Tattoo- Not Bad!

Wow! a Graphic & Web Designer, turns to be a tattooist. Todd Dumas thinking to do something different has starting practicing tattooing on himself and here is one of his efforts.

The first tattoo by him on himself is very different which was he made just to create it. He says,

“I am attempting to teach myself the art of tattooing. Right now, I am just doing some “freestyle” experiments with lines, colors and shading. As I get farther along (and more skilled), this will turn into a neo-tribal, abstract piece. This represents about 5 different 20-minute sessions.
This tattoo is damn embarrassing in its current state. The lines are shaky and the shading is terrible.”

However, he agrees to the fact that most new tattoo artists practice on themselves, and mistakes are expected. Though most new tattoo artists have spent a great deal of time in tattoo shops. He thinks that a lot can be learned from just being in the environment and getting work done. Before this, he only had a tiny, black piece that he got over ten years ago.

Thus, I make more mistakes than most would. But each session gets a bit better, and my lines are getting cleaner. Hopefully, I can salvage the design before I have to ink my entire foot black , he added.

Cute yet Funny Tattoo

You might have come across many funny tattoo designs which would have surely made you laugh at the mind of the tattoo wearer and amazed at creation of the artist.

Same way I was amazed at the creation of this cute donkey by Pepa Heller of Bohemian Tattoo Arts, and wonder what would have been the inspiration behind the tattoo?

Anyways, it did bring a smile to my face. Hope the same for you.

Custom Freehand Tattoo

Pepa Heller of Bohemian Tattoo Arts, a professional tattooist since 1996, inked this cool bohemian tattoo on the arm of Adam.

A peacock shape is very nicely fused in the black ink tattoo with a mixed design of tribal tattoo.

Tattoos are Expression of ones Mind

For everyone each tattoo has its own meaning. Tattoos are special impressions which one etches on his body to mark an occasion or in memory of someone.

pepo e cami had submitted this back tattoo on flickr. We see black picture of four men, I guess… they are dancing. May the meaning is something else for the wearer.
