Art - Tattoos

[Bobbie En Tejas]

Have I mentioned on of my daughters is a tattoo artist? She does no flash, only original art. Her art has won prizes at tattoo conventions and has also been in a tattoo magazine. The owl is not finished.

Bobbie,

A very talented lady, some very nice ink.

How long does it take to do one of these tattoos? And how many sittings?

[Bobbie En Tejas]

Van, depending on the size of the tattoo, how elaborate, the stamina of the person getting one.

The simple ones can be done under an hour. I know she worked on the bull in two sittings, but I'm not sure how many hours each. One of her customers is a guy getting a three-quarter sleeve with a dragon, a geisha, a lotus, a fish etc all incorporated. I went in during his second sitting. I'm sure he was going to have to come back for at least another because its pretty elaborate, but (just asked her) she said that generally if the person can handle it, she likes to get them done within five hours, one sitting.

This is a form of art where for the other party involved it is torture. However, these people accept this voluntarily. It would not be me!

[Bobbie En Tejas]

LOL Emdee.. sometimes she gets tiny women who relax and big burly guys who cry. I don't have any either, but I've talked to some people as they were getting them and they didn't seem like they were in much pain. I know there are a few forum members with some. Lets see your stuff

Nice work.... If any members want an E-Book with about 200 designs LMK and I will give you a download link....

Not sure if it is copyrighted or not, but some cracking designs in there if you are looking for ideas....

If this is not allowed.... Just LMK

Her newest work from last night:

Is that a big huge tat on the person's right thigh/buttock...buttock in profile?!

No tattoos myself, and have no desire to have one done, but these are very good indeed!

I thought it might be a shoulder/ upper arm.

Would you not like a sparrowhawk?

[Bobbie En Tejas]

Actually, its on the lower leg. If you look to the top left, that is the back of the knee. (Poor 4th got all excited thinking that was a butt.)

Ah, now I see it.

Sparrowhawk (lloking fora thoughtful smiley here!) maybe, just maybe!!

[Bobbie En Tejas]

A couple more my daughter did.

See, I put these things here because my kids are too old for me to hang their work on my refrigerator .. . (that and the fact that the people might not appreciate it)
