well for everyone that knows me from this site knows about my horrible dodge ram tattoo.....but now a good friend of mine just started to do tattoos and i figured why not be the test dummy for her figured she can't screw it up any worse then what i already have so here it is...and mind you this is her 5th tattoo ever


this was the original

this is when she was about half way done

and this is the almost 90% finish product still gotta shade alil bit in the middle to hide the old line alil more

 

I want to see more pics of the girl personally.


I think it will look fine once you shade it in like you said.




I'm considering getting a confederate flag over my heart but that is a different subject all together.

 

ya more pics of the girl looks like she has some pipes lol

 

first thing comes to mind is rorschach test

The original looks like 2 Count Choculas facing each other. The second although better is hard to distinguish the Ram.

 

I nice improvement, but a bit to BUSY.....to much if you know what I mean...I understand that your trying to cover an absolute mess of ink but and its toooo late now...you would have been better off having her take the origional lines thicken them up and "fan" them out with shading...your black is toooo thick and tooooo close...

overall though a thumbs up and I think you would be wise to expand it, and by that I would incorperate a background that is very light and spread out...to take away from the "blob" of black. maybe like a cracked ground effect...like when it rains in the mud and then the sun bakes it and the mud cracks around it....make the ram head appear like a "foot print" and the ground cracks around it...

see mine....



Look at the chest Letters....see the cracking effect....something similar...





Notice the thick black lines always have a nice area of natural skin around them...that is what I am refering to as "BUSY" to close together equals a black blob....




Keep going...it looks prommissing!!!

i kinda like it, it's different. kinda adds a tribal look to it.

 

It does look better. Kind of tribal but it does need some kind of back ground now.
