Here is the outline for an original design I have done on my right thigh. Colour and shading to come once it has healed. Main outline was with an 11 round. spiderweb was with a 5 round. still tossing up if i should give the snake scales or shading… what do you think?? :D

Just throwing it out there. Why not go ahead with the scaling on the snake and shading on the skull?
yeah pretty much what i was thinking. thats how the original design was supposed to look anyway. :D glad to have another opinion on it though.

Off to a great start, Ben.
One thing you can notice is that your hand speed changed a lot during the tattoo. Line width varies in places…nothing major but seems worth pointing out since we’re all trying to get better here.
I say go for shading/scales. The original design is real flat. I think if you go a little artistic on it and shade in the rose, web, snake, skull and give it some depth you’ll end up with a tattoo on a completely different level.

Thanks Mark. Appreciate the comments. Yeah it was my first time using and 11 round liner and took a while to get used to.
And the original design was pretty boring. No shading was ever added to it. But I am hoping to spruce it up a little. I’m also thinking of putting colour in the snake head as well. Maybe greens or browns/yellows. Also was thinking of using my Kiro Sumi cherry shading ink on the skull for something a bit different (and to see what the ink is like). What do you think? :D

I like the idea of putting some color in. Off the top of my head I’m not sure how cherry shading is going to look in a color tattoo…might be cool. I really haven’t seen much done with it.
I’m with Viper…this is going to be a great looking tattoo when it’s all done.

I agree, to an extent, look for some examples. I think if you patch the scales in, not just full tilt scale the whole snake, and give it full color, you’ll come out with a very nice design.
