Just wondering if anybody has any Retic Tattoos? I'm thinking of going for a basic outline of the body, as they have a distinct headshape and go for a very basic back pattern, ive already gone for a realistic/slightly cartoonish looking Nile Monitor but fancy getting a snake type one in the future, i know what i want in my head but am finding it hard to draw out.
I really like his realisitic work but am thinking of somthing very stripped down, essentially an outline, with just the inside black chequered markings, could almost look tribal like.
I am another who can vouch for Joe first hand he has done 3 sittings on me and the work has healed up great.
I have no snakes yet though and to be honest i don't know if i will perhaps when he finishes my sleeve and i get some lazered off of my other arm i may choose snakes as my concept for my second sleeve but to be fair his portraits of the mildly twisted nature speak for themselves.
i think youre right cpt bj (if that IS your real name!?), theres probably better men for the job than me. If its realism you want, then Im game, but tribal/cartoony, well, thats a different kettle of fish. Good luck with it.
and thanks for the recommendations guys, big up yo'selves: victory:
Your work is fantastic! The only reason i'm wanting it very stripped down is i already have some realistic work done, on a Monitor tattoo which ive got and am going to be getting finished off soon.
I'm kinda with these guys, in my opinion (as far as snake tattoos go) You either go with traditional, non-specific generic snake, or you go all out detailed portrait style (like Inkyjoes work). I think anywhere in between just ends up looking like a poorly executed portrait. Even a lot of the try-hard portraits I've seen have, again in my opinion, looked like a fail. That's where I think finding a tattooist who has a love for snakes, is a win.
maybe. so long as the artist has a clear idea where hes goin with it, and makes it look like a stylized retic, and not a portrait, AND of course executes it well, technically, then theres no reason it shouldnt be a nice tattoo: victory:
