one i did last week

family tree tattoo

i'm guessing you freehanded the writing, which would be pretty daring.

no did i fuck lol i stenciled the whole thing i dont free hand script it leaves too much room fuck for fuck ups

What was the process, trees first, script after?

i did all the script first , i only stenciled the script , the tree i shaded in after i did all the names and frame , and working from the bottom to the top , i a 5 liner and a 5s , dynamic black and world famous grey washes

looks good anyway...i wouldn't dare that much thin script

it was only a few years ago i would run have screaming for the hills if someone asked me to do that , but script really isnt that difficult , its just getting past that fear , and when you do you really will wonder what all the fuss was about

I'm sure you[re right, the thing is with that type of scipt there's no hiding place. With some work you can shade up to imperfections and disguise them...at least I always did

yeah we all do that lol and he thing with single pass script yes you have to be careful but once its done its done

I did my first proper piece of script with more than one word yesterday and the size of the font was quite small, I did the first word and thought have I taken on more than I can handle lol! Worked out ok in the end and I learned from it, that is the important thing

where the pics marked ?

Quite a lot of mistakes in the script. But mine has been a lot worse. That's the shit thing with that script font, you only get one chance. When I was doing more tattooing a few years ago I fucking hated when people asked for script like that, made me nervous before I even started

Here you go, bear in mind it was my first script longer than one word and I was shitting myself at first lol!

is there a reason you did the names first, seems like you would do the tree then put the names on top would be easier? especially since the tree is lighter

the script is line work so i do all the line work first , the stencil of the tree rubbed off while i was doing the names but i would rather free hand a tree than script , but thats what i am comfortable doing , other may work differently
