      Honestly its just a LOT to take in lol, I was planning on waiting til I got a chance to look at them all before commenting.

      It looks like you have quite a diverse portfolio, and I’m happy to see you doing something a little different with traditional Japanese art, as a whole Id say you are well on your way!

      Thank you very much, i am mainly as individual very flexible and with big variety of knowledge in many subjects, and graffiti as a skill teached me a lot of important aspects, mainly lines and such, but i am also kind of person who has problems with decent patience, for example, i have problem drawing an important canvas or sketch longer than 5 hours, but i am working on my patience, because i realized how important it is :)

      Patience is truly a key factor in tattooing… If you rush things, and dont take your time, youll end up cleaning up your mess, when the client comes back, and want a touch up. Worse even, they never come back, but go to another tattooer.

      I’ve got a little thing that could help you on your patience. I’ve said it before, but cant remember where.

      Take a sheet of normal lined A4 paper. And then take a ballpoint pen. Now, start colouring that sheet. In small circular motions. Only going over the same place once.
      Now fill in every inch of that sheet. Once you have done that, you will see alot of holes. Now take a new piece of paper, and do it again.
      2 sheets everyday. Its boring. Its the same motion all the time. You WILL get bored and impatient and start speeding up, only to find that your messing the sheet more up.
      Want patience? Start here.

      Now when you have done about a hundred of these, you will start to see your patience grow. Now WHY in circular motions? Thats how you colour your tattoos. In small circular motions. Not only does this help with your patience, but it will give you some feeling of how to do a colour tattoo.

      (My mentor never said why hahahahah)

      Looks like these are going to make excellent tattoo designs, though I’d say there are a few more than just one that isn’t finished.. Excellent line-work, just needs color :)

      Agreed..
      I can really see them as good tattoos.

      On a side note; I can sence a style thats consistent in all these pieces, which is a good thing. Thumbs up for that :D

      Thanks for feedbacks, i also showed some of them to very skilled graffiti 3d artist who is also one of best tattooers in Baltics and Scandinavia, he said i need a’lot of heavy work especially with perspective and lines, although those sketches seem normal, i feel i need to push much much harder :D
