I’ve always been a fan of tattoo art. Not the spring break, “o my god, I’m so wasted” tattoo art, but the finely tuned, detailed stuff. When looking at it from a design perspective, you may one to check out a guy named Sailor Jerry. Jerry was the original, old school tattooer. Although simple, a lot of his stuff is interesting..
Louie,
You are so fascinated by detail with all the work you show however when you post your own work I do not see that same intensity of detail. As you know detail takes a lot of time. I look forward to seeing the love you have for detail in your own work.
Have you seen these typographic detailed tattoos?
What do you think about these? Do you think type would be difficult to tattoo?
I found these on this website: http://hubpages.com/tag/lettering+tattoos/hot

I actually have my cousin’s eulogy tattooed on my arm... she was a published poet, dying of cancer....she wrote her own before she died.. I posted part of it as one of my digi sketch projects. I can actually take a shot of the whole thing if you would like to see it
Thank-you for sharing this image. I would like to see the entire piece.
It is quite beautiful. Who did the art work? What typeface did they use?
Did you get to choose?
