A Falcon tattoo for Nick’s back, which I added the shading to yesterday. 
We are planning to include a snake around the neck eventually, similarly to the composition on the last slide. There is also an alternate version of this design on a ‘Captain Woodiness’ from the great book ‘Pioneers of British Tattooing Vol.1’ 

Usually I advocate for my clients to have colour in their tattoos; however for this piece I felt black and grey would be best. Who knows, maybe it’s from seeing these photos in monochrome so often.

Description

The tattoo features a large, intricately detailed eagle in flight, showcasing its wings spread wide and claws extended. The design emphasizes the texture of the feathers with a combination of dot work and line work, creating a dynamic and powerful representation of the bird.

Technical Details

Line Work: The line work is precise and varied, with both thick and thin lines used to define the eagle's form and feathers.

Shading: Shading is achieved through dot work, providing depth and dimension to the wings and body of the eagle.

Color Usage: The tattoo is primarily black, with no additional colors used, enhancing the boldness of the design.
