Hi there…
It’s not big deal, just little poppy flower for my neighbour
It’s first time that she’s asked me for tattoo…
Feels great, because I started tattooing people from beginning of this year, and she’s tattooed heavily all around…
I mean, she could have asked me long time ago, instead of going to somebody else for simplistic tattoo, that I could have handle, and do it for free as well
Never mind - eventually she came to me, that’s matters
Most of her tattoos having bold outlines, then filled in with shading or colour - my poppy flower is standing out, just because it’s realistic…
She did like the way I’ve made it a lot, lol, she was looking for another *free spot on her body thinking where she could fit another flower design, lol
Thank you for watching dear friends

You’re staying true to your style, even when tattooing! The poppy is lovely, it’s alive and realistic. You’ll be getting more and more work just by word of mouth!

It’s too bad tattoo artists can’t sign their work so that everyone would know who the artist is. Are you starting to put together a book of your work to show future clients?

Thank you Laurene for keen comment
I’ll keep my work as realistic as possible if I only can.
Unfortunately, some designs won’t let me do so, because they’re just names, or hearts - if you know I mean…
I have tomorrow client for two hearts tattoo and two kids names within…
It’s obvious there won’t be any realism involved
But I’ve been asked for few more tattoos, one is giraffe, one is portraiture of the dog, and one design is artistic fox portrait with some curved lines around it…
This is how I’m slowly building my portfolio…
No, I have not any sort of book yet Laurene, but I’m about to put all my tattoos into the Facebook dedicated ALBUM with the dates the tattoo were made
So I could send potential clients over there, to have a look
Thank you.

Wow! You’re progressing quickly! Congratulations my friend!!

Thank you, but actually I feel opposite…
Those friends that asking for tattoos are busy, especially with working hours, so it’s struggle to make appointment
So yes, I have some friends about to come, but waiting time for eventual appointment is actually prolonged
Thank you.

Everything - EVERYTHING - that Laurene said. (Saves a lot of typing )

Plus... the FB Album sounds like a great idea. You NEED ready access to your portfolio - and perhaps designs you have to offer that haven't yet been commissioned. We all KNOW how good you are, but others will need to be shown.

Thank you dear Mike
I’ll put everything in one place (the ALBUM).
I’m struggling with designs to be honest - it’s because I used to draw portraits and animals…
I’m struggling to make designs - because all I love to do it’s portraitures…
But you’re very right - I need to make some designs at any point, to attract potential clients.
Thank you!

Oh this is one of the prettiest ones I’ve seen. There is this lady on utube who is smart and successful but she has this tattoo on one of her wrist that looks so kiddish. She did it years ago in remembrance of her murdered sister so no fault there and it’s got red on it so it really stands out. I don’t know what it is. I think it would look nice with a redo somehow since it is really noticeable. I like when they make sense. Where is this tattoo drawn on? It looks like maybe the inside of her forearm. You do really nice work.

Thank you for keen words
You’ve pinpointed the placement of the tattoo perfectly
I’m glad you liking it, but I’m on learning curve, I’m not doing tattoos regularly just yet so there’s a lot to improve before me
Thank you again.
Best wishes.
Art.

Nicely done. Like Lauren said, your style shines through. That is a big plus in the art/tatoo world. People want innovative and individual art on their skin and your work does this. A lovely poppy.
