Free Divers Tattoo, an Ornamental Style Turtle With Tenun Texture.

Bali based tattoo artist doing an ornamental black work

This design is a bit different.

Because it is not usual that I got an animal custom design. So my client. Erik is from Sweden and want something that related to his hobby which is free dive or sometimes scuba diving. I suggest a sea turtle since I found it would be great doing symmetrical element that I always do in each of my design as the turtle shell, he agreed.

On the session day I realize that the design is to rigid or stiff, it was lack of fluidity to follow his calf flow, to fix that I suggest to free hand the fin make it asymmetrical to create the swimming movement, make it look dynamic.

The pink coil I love to use it for my outline work to deliver 7 to 14 round shader needle, a really powerful machine its like cutting butter with hot knife to got my line work done, next the Hybrid By Leo Smagin to push 18 round shader for color packing, really push the needle with ease sometimes I use for big line as well.

The top right is showing my coil for linework and the bottom part is the hybrid for color packing.
