Snake knot

Sometimes I wonder why I keep trying to colour things with pencils, as obviously my only talent is finding the worst colour schemes. Blue and orange-red seemed like a good idea, and now I think it just look weird. I added a black and white version which I prefer.

Lotus head

I had once again no inspiration, I just planned to draw a lotus and was not motivated to do so. Then the idea of adding a black suit to it popped in my head, and somehow, that way I was motivated... Go figure.

Bio stuff...

It started ok at the top, but I messed a bit the lower part, I think.

Human skelworm

After drawing this I had the feeling I already saw something similar somewhere, but was unable to find it. I guess it's just a mix of a human skull + an Alien-inspired tail, or something.

Water drop

My scanner still believes than light green = yellow, so as always I had to struggle to get the colours right. :p
Coloured pencils (but the blue glow is digital). Maybe it can be seen as elements: water and earth.

I haven't looked at this website (or my associated email box) for ages, I thought that taking a big break would do me good. But I discover I still have very very few inspiration for "tatoo-able doodles". Argh.

Knot a dragon...

Ugh, horrible pun. It only has 2 paws so it looks like a mix of snake and dragon, maybe... My previous attempts (of completely different drawings) were failures, so this final one was done in a rush as I was getting annoyed.

 I was a bit out of ideas lately, so tadaaa... a tribal flash.
It's funny to think I started to draw this kind of stuff some 15 years ago when I was in secondary school. At that time I thought there was only 2 types of tattoos in the world : tribals and the crappy prison/army tattoos worn by some adults I knew (ugly cross, lion, naked chick, knife... bleh.)

Ornamental flourish-something

I'm so great with titles, wooohoo.
Quick drawing, with digital colours because I was already late. Now that I look at it again, it would be better if I had rotated it some 25° to the left.

Mjölnir

So... I wanted to do something simple, with just flat colours, no shading. Of course, things never happen exactly how I want them ^^'.

On a side note, look at this, these are some great hammer pendants (I especially like the one on top, it's way more "nordic" than my version) http://varglya.blogspot.com/2010/07/recent-works-more-carvings.html

Science & Knowledge

I wanted to try to do some lettering. I wasn't sure what words to choose, but after seeing so many "faith" and "believe" tattoos, I opted for those words that seems less common ;) (well, actually there's quite an amount of very nice science related tattoos, from equations to artistic rendition of electrons etc.).

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 ^^.

Fabric butterfly

Hm, not sure about the kind of lace thing. Not much inspiration lately, I promise, I'll try to do better next Sunday ^^'.

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)
