Funny, the texture of the paper makes it look a little like a stone carving. Just a little.

On other news, I may change the "pace" of that blog from one post every Sunday to one post every 2 Sundays... I'm really out of ideas for tattoos design at the moment. I wasn't even inspired by halloween (maybe because it's not celebrated here). Instead I'm having fun doing ugly gouache paintings, and it seems to take almost all the inspiration/motivation I have.

Obviously, I have some trouble with colour...

Strawberries tattoo

Strawberries \o/.  Colors are partly pencil, partly digital.

Also, a huge thank again to the person who sent me a photo of a design from this blog, tattooed. I was a great surprise and really made my day ^^.

Rose heart

I have the feeling I already saw something like this somewhere (probably better, this was done without reference so the shading is a bit weird)

Cherry blossom

It seems the blog was 1 year old yesterday. I'm the kind of person who forget about a blog 3 months after creating it, so it's rather incredible. :p

Plumeria flowers and waves

I love the stylized waves seen in japanese style tattoos, so I tried to reproduce them. With plumeria / frangipani flowers, because I like these flowers ;)

2011-02-26: And a derivate version with, in my opinion, eye-hurting colors, that does not at least give a link to the original. Sigh, I'm kinda used to it.

Simple rose

Simple colorful rose tattoo design. I'm rather happy with the pink-violet/yellow colours.

Ornamental vines & flowers, rainbow color

To tell the truth, I have no idea if such a colorful design could look good as a tattoo or not.

Plumeria / frangipani flowers

This place was starting to lack colors. :)
Flowers with a background inspired by some tattoos.

I tend to like grey tats more than colourful ones. But drawing in colour is fun - even if I often tend to forget it.

Of course once again I had to fight with my scanner to get the right colors. No, actually, I had to re-color it with darker shades, because the very pale pink and blue didn't show up on the scan. 

Oh... and I've reached 20 messages. Incredible (for me) :D

Ornamental tattoos and flowers

A white rose and a small... I-don't-know-what flower with ornamental curves.
Should I have added some colors to those?
