WIP. Before we started Jakobs back piece, we were trying to decide either fine and detailed or big and bold. If we went detailed we’d be looking at 4 to 5 sessions at least! We decided on big and bold, meaning we can finish this in 2 sessions and achieve a super striking backpiece that’ll age great. I love both styles and if time and budget are a concern, then this is something to think about :)
Neo-traditionalAnimalUpper back

Description

The tattoo features a large, intricately designed bird with outstretched wings, positioned prominently on the upper back. Below the bird, a serpent winds around, creating a dynamic composition. The bird's feathers are detailed with varying line thickness, and the serpent has a textured appearance, adding depth to the design. The overall layout combines elements of realism with stylized features.

Technical Details

Line Work: Bold and clean lines with varying thickness to create depth and detail.

Shading: Soft shading used to enhance the three-dimensional effect, particularly on the bird's wings and the serpent's body.

Color Usage: Primarily black ink with potential for color highlights, though the image appears monochromatic.
