tribal tattoo design for the lower leg

Hi,

This week I slowly started on a new tattoo project, a tribal tattoo for the lower leg, wrapping around the leg from shin to calf. The tattoo design is symmetrical with koru curves and some nice repetitive patterns derived from polynesian and other tribal art.

I really enjoyed drawing this piece for a customer from Switzerland. The sketches are really flowing and have some rythm that I love to draw.










Here is the final tatoo design:

shin and lower leg tribal tattoo design

Hi!

A quick update on the tattoo design I showed you earlier. It's the lower leg tattoo (knee to ankle) in a tribal mixed style. I really enjoyed this design for some reason. It has a great symmetry, which makes the tattoo look nice and clean. This morning I finished the first pencil sketch and sent it to my customer.

Here's a preview of the tattoo design:

I'm also working on a large number of tattoo designs for my portfolio.
If everything works out, I'll upload the new designs to my webshop in March or April.
The plan is to have around 30 or 40 new images that can be purchased online. The first 5 sketches have already been drawn and worked out. The first tattoos are for the forearm and have some nice realistic feathers incorporated.

Kind regards, Mark Storm

tribal kirituhi tattoo for the lower leg

Hi!

At the moment I'm working on a really nice project, a lower leg tattoo in a tribal mixed style. Some kirituhi koru shapes and other tribal patterns and some of my own style.
I think a symmetrical tattoo looks really great on the calf, here are the first images:
















The design is around 30 cm high and the circumference is 23 cm at the bottom and 30 cm at the widest part.

I'll get back to you with the next step.

Kind regards, Mark Storm

high resolution polynesian tribal tattoo designs

Hi There,

I finished a few designs that I showed you last week. The first one is the polynesian mask design. A symmetrical piece with a nice face and lizard in the design. Here's the high resolution image:














The second design is a really large shoulder and chest tattoo, it has many styles in it, some Kirituhi, polynesian and some "storm3d" fantasy.
I took me quite some work to get this one uptimized. It was originally drawn on 2 pieces of A3 size paper (200g/m2).
I scan it on an A4 scanner, so I had to glue 4 pieces together into one and line it up perfectly.

Here's the high res design:

New tribal tattoo designs

Hi,

I haven't posted my sketches for some time, because of some health issues.
But I wanted to show you some nice tattoo designs in polynesian style and mixed tribal style.

The first design is a symmetrical tattoo piece for the upper shoulder. A polynesian mask image. I'm still working on the sketch, but here's a picture of the design till now.














The second one is quite a large design for the chest and upperarm. It almost completely wraps around the upper arm and shoulder. Then it runs to the chest and it also covers a small area on the back.
A few weeks ago I received a phone call from an Israelien tattoo shop, with the question if I could design a large piece in this mixed tribal style.
Here's a photo of the sketch. I kept part of the tattoo in symmetry, because otherwise it would loose its balance and get really messy.






When these tattoo images are finished, I'll post the high resolution images and show you what I will be working on in the upcoming weeks.

Polynesian style shoulder tattoo

At the moment, I'm working on a shoulder tattoo design for a Dutch customer.
He wanted a Polynesian style tattoo, with some elements like turtle shells and stars.
Additionally he wanted to incorporate some kind of element, representing him being a DJ.

So here are the first few pictures:

Kirituhi shoulder and chest tattoo drawing

Hi!

I promised to tell you something about one of my latest tattoo projects, so here it is.

Normally my main part of designs consists of shoulder pieces, but for this design a customer
asked me to do a shoulder AND chest piece in one.

It's really tricky to get it all on a flat sheet of paper, so I needed some sort of body template.
The tattoo only covered the outer side of the left arm (from shoulder to elbow) and the left pectoral muscle.
My customer used a sheet of tracing paper and simple traced the shape of his body. The total template looked like this:

















The design had to be maori style and have some nice flowing curles/koru. First I drew the outlines of the maori shapes:















Then I filled the shapes with some traditional lines, triangles and other tribal design stuff.
















I take pictures of the design with my Canon EOS 400D and send these photos to the customer. It's a lot quicker than scanning it, because it is on A3 size paper.
The final design is ofcourse scanned in high resolution.

Here are a few shots of the tattoo sketch in progress.














I just received a comment from the customer, that he wants the fills a bit more intricate, instead of the traditional tattoo lines.

So I'll get back to you soon with an adjusted tattoo design.

Kind regards, Mark

Finished shoulder piece

Hi!

Here's the finished design of the shoulder tattoo I was working on last week.




















Between all the large custom sketches, I worked on a small and simple tat2 design. It's a symmetrical design with a tribal sun and maori ferns in it.




















At the moment I have two more projects running. One is a half sleeve tattoo in the style of Sonny Bill Williams as I mentioned a few days ago. This one is in progress and some pictures will be posted soon.
The second is a sketch based on multiple of my designs and the fills are a bit like Robbie Williams maori tattoo design. It's a large design and here's a first impression.
















I will get back in a few days, hopefully with some finished tattoos or with adjusted sketches and photos.

In the future I will try to post a small video on my blog where you can see me drawing and designing a maori tattoo.
For some suggestions or things you wish to see or learn in this video, please contact me.

Just let me know!

I recently discovered another blog of a great tattoo designer, Jun-San from Brazil. His website/blog is lifeunderzen.com.
Really simple, but great and creative designs, drawn on the skin and the sharpest lines I have ever seen.
Check his blog and be amazed!

Kind regards, Mark Storm

Maori armband tattoo drawing

Hi there,

I few weeks ago I mentioned a Maori / Kirituhi armband tattoo, but forgot to show you the finished result.












At the moment I'm working on medium size shoulder tattoo piece, which I had to adjust a few times before it was ready to be finalized.

I really like to use the white fern shapes and curles. The "negative space" is formed by the maori fills and triangles. In this design my customer wanted a simple fill with lines and some arrowheads on the lower side of the tattoo. First I used a complete row of overlapping arrows or spearheads, but that was a bit too much. In the final drawing you will see that I only used half this row, to give it a bit more spirit.

Here are the first three pencil sketches of this design:














I will show you the finished result tomorrow, so please check back for more tattoo sketches, designs and other tat2 pictures in maori or tribal style on storm3d.com or this blog.

In the week ahead I'm working on a tattoo design, based on the shoulder tattoo design of Sonny Bill Williams, the rugby player. The customer wants a similar design, so I have to use pictures of Sonny Williams as a reference, and will not copy the actual design of course.

Kind regards, Mark Storm

Half sleeve Maori tattoo

Hi,

This summertime is a really busy time of the year for me. Lots of custom tattoo designs and sketches and also going on a holiday with my family.

At the moment I'm designing a large shoulder tattoo for a Dutch customer. It's in a Maori / Kirituhi tattoo style.

The first sketch was a bit off, It didn't exactly match the expectations of the customer.
Here's a small sketch of it:

If you are interested in this sketch, just let me know and maybe I can finish it for you, so it's a unique piece.

The second sketch was almost exactly what it should be according to my client, so I only had to make minor changes to the tatoo design.







Below you see two photos of the design in progress and a few snapshots of me having traced half the design with a black marker.














































Finally you can see the finished flash design.
















Any comments? Just let me know.
