<br />
Here are some pictures to show you the design process. The first photo shows the sketch I did with a pen, just a rough design to see how I could make the koifish and koru patterns flow together:<br />

Below you see the original pencil sketch I designed. The koru shapes are nicely flowing with the koi fish and other surrounding tribal patterns.</div>

Once I finished the pencil drawing of the japanese koifish, the design was traced with black markers.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I recorded the full proces of tracing, shading and coloring and made a Youtube video, so you can see how it was done:</div>

<br />
I've done a few other projects lately and wanted to show you some.<br />
<br />
While looking for a case for my Iphone 4s I stumbled on a Dutch company that prints Iphone cases in 3d.<br />
They had used one of my Maori tattoo designs for one of their mobile phone cases, so I asked if we could work together on a few more Apple and maybe even Samsung cases.<br />
A week later I created 4 designs in Maori style, just like the tattoos I normally do.<br />
Here's the first model I came up with:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYa74QFF1u6Q9qJstfeL7rkeTZJZL-TJthY7bD5nPCC3TodMmmYy_FbfJjapKCMxJfsDYdORNacVCvtORuQf-a1F37buzb6UzvDY6ES4opLljCPN_C7qY6cEDv0O_nSnZ-9lodurC6LdU/s1600/Iphone-5-case-maori-tattoo-design-style-koru.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYa74QFF1u6Q9qJstfeL7rkeTZJZL-TJthY7bD5nPCC3TodMmmYy_FbfJjapKCMxJfsDYdORNacVCvtORuQf-a1F37buzb6UzvDY6ES4opLljCPN_C7qY6cEDv0O_nSnZ-9lodurC6LdU/s320/Iphone-5-case-maori-tattoo-design-style-koru.jpg" width="171" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQfmEbCq4Gedf8JuXU3uFEyScF7QqwwPWe8k1yBZpU83mtFNrA2PcIrg_h8k8MbcyuJjnPt21aON3O_LuMcGoXjJPq5nIeBdapRCIv5Jl9LN8hKBDnvLyZ-JY2t0bzmGXQdQrhNTJPq5A/s1600/3d-printing-Iphone-case-polyamide-maori-tattoo-style-design.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQfmEbCq4Gedf8JuXU3uFEyScF7QqwwPWe8k1yBZpU83mtFNrA2PcIrg_h8k8MbcyuJjnPt21aON3O_LuMcGoXjJPq5nIeBdapRCIv5Jl9LN8hKBDnvLyZ-JY2t0bzmGXQdQrhNTJPq5A/s320/3d-printing-Iphone-case-polyamide-maori-tattoo-style-design.jpg" width="178" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Once the final design was approved, I sent the high resolution file to Polychemy.com so they could transform the 2d sketch into a 3d model that would fit on an Iphone:<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
These cases are printed with a 3d printer in 4 different colors, white, black, red and purple.<br />
<div>
Here's the final Iphone model in Maori inspired tattoo style and a video on how it was done:<br />

<br />
I get a lot of requests on designing a armband tattoos inspired by the <a href="http://storm3d.blogspot.nl/2011/05/tattoo-pictures-of-cesc-fabregas.html" target="_blank">Cesc Fabregas</a> tattoo (which I did a while ago), so I decided to create a few nice Polynesian armbands with a mix of Maori style.<br />
<br />
In my previous post you can see my <a href="http://storm3d.blogspot.co.uk/2012/08/polynesian-maori-armband-tattoo.html" target="_blank">first armband/elbow design</a>, which is the first of a series of 3 or 4 tattoos.<br />
<br />
Here's the second tatoo sketch:<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Polynesian armband design inspired by the Fabregas elbow tattoo</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
In the centre of the design you see one half of a tribal mask, with some koru Maori curles. I really like to mix different tribal elements and patterns into one aesthetic tattoo.<br />
My designs don't have specific meanings or stories, it's only a graphic representation, inspired by the beautiful Maori, Samoan and Polynesian shapes.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Once I finished my pencil sketch, I trace it with a black felt-tip marker and a Pilot fineliner. </div>
<div>
Below you can see a picture of the traced drawing:<br />

<br />
After it is scanned in high quality (300 dpi), I optimize it in Photoshop and create a linedrawing so your tattoo artist can use it to transfer the tatoos onto your shoulder/arm.</div>
<div>
<br />
The design is seamless, which means that it totally surrounds your arm and has no beginning or ending. </div>
<div>
To make this visible for you, I created a cylindrical model in Google Sketchup:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Because not all arms are perfectly round, your tattoo artist might need to tweak/adjust the design for you, so it makes a perfect fit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

If you wish to order the high resolution design, simply hit the "Buy now" button.<br />

<br />
I get a lot of requests on the <a href="http://storm3d.blogspot.nl/2011/05/tattoo-pictures-of-cesc-fabregas.html" target="_blank">Cesc Fabregas tattoo</a> I created a while ago, so I decided to create a few new pieces that are inspired by his elbow design.<br />
<br />
The armband tattoos have different circumferences and can also be used as legbands.<br />
<br />
Here's the first sketch of the first armband tattoo that has a lot of Polynesian elements and Maori koru patterns:<br />
<br />

</tbody></table>
First I sketched the koru curles with a basic b2 pencil and added some rows of Polynesian symbols that you see in the foreground.<br />
There's a tribal polynesian mask in the centre of the piece and also at the sides two half faces are drawn. Once it's totally around the arm, these sides will make one full tribal mask.<br />
<br />
The lines of the different shapes were traced, this time with a fineliner, so I could make it really detailed and rich. After erasing the pencil and filling the outlines with a black marker the design looks like this:<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">traced Polynesian band tattoo </td></tr>

<br />
After scanning the drawing, I digitally edited the image and optimized the design.<br />
It's a seamless tattoo, this means that there is no end or beginning of the tattoo, it totally surrounds your arm or leg.<br />
To make this clear to my customers I decided to make a video in Google Sketchup:<br />

<br />
I'm back again, with another half sleeve tattoo design in Samoan inspired style.<br />
On Facebook I've had a lot of compliments and comments on my previous design, so I decided to create a series of these drawings in the same style.<br />
<br />
Well here's a picture of the first basic lines I drew:<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Pencil sketch of a Samoan tribal sleeve tattoo</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
I start with a circular shape at the top that follows the upper part of the shoulder and then drew a few tapering lines to add some motion. The spearheads are a common pattern in the Samoan style, symbolizing strength and power. There are many kinds of spear- or arrowheads, so I usually combine different ones in one design to keep it as intricate as possible.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Mostly I try to draw a few layers on top of eachother, running above- or through other patterns.</div>
<div>
This gives a sense of depth and it makes the design flow.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Here's a second sketch, you can see I traced parts of the drawing with a black marker and fineliner:</div>

Normally I first draw the full design with a pencil and then start tracing it, but sometimes I get a little impatient and cannot wait to see how it turns out :)<br />

<br />
At the moment I'm working on a series of new designs for my galleries, to replace some 'old' tattoos.<br />
I'm really inspired by the intricate Samoan patterns which have a lot of repetitive shapes and symbols and bold tattoos.<br />
<br />
I started with a new tatoo, a halfsleeve tribal with some Samoan and Maori influences and shapes.<br />
<br />
First I drew a basic layout of the tatoo to make it fit to the shoulder and upper arm.<br />
Then I draw a few crossing lines, a bit tapered to give it a sense of depth.<br />
On the left side of the tatou I added a koru fern, a national symbol of New-Zealand, aka "Aotearoa", and created a line of spearheads. I traced it with a black marker and a steady hand ofcourse ;)<br />
<br />
<br />

To get a sharp and crisp look, I use a lot of triangular shapes with a high contrast between the black and white patterns. The heavy black lines are drawn to divide the tattoo into smaller section, so it's not one "greyish" mass:</div>

<br />
I have been quite busy the last few months with a lot of different projects, with little time to write posts on my blog.<br />
But to show you some new projects I've been working on; here's a new tattoo for my shoulder galleries.
It's a mixed design with Maori elements and Samoan pattern. The images below show the design process in different steps. First I make a basic outline for the shoulder as a template. Then I use my pencil to sketch some flowing koru shapes. Normally I do the whole piece with pencil first and start tracing it when I'm finished.<br />
Today I was a bit impatient, and decided to trace parts of the tribal shapes. You see some Polynesian turtle patterns and Samoan spearheads and stylized fish.<br />

<br />
I get a lot of requests for custom tattoo designs, unfortunately it's impossible to do them all, but here's a nice tatoo project I'm working on at the moment.<br />
<br />
My customer asked me to do a tattoo sketch for the shoulder and up to the back/neck. He wanted to see some original eagle designs with claws and wings in a tribal style. The big central curve at consists of two tribal claws of the eagle and at the bottom of the tattoo I made some realistic feathers that would flow onto his biceps and upper arm.<br />
<br />
Here's the first pencil sketch I did:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The feathers needed some adjustments to run on the biceps correctly. I also made them more abstract to go better with the overall design:<br />

<br />
This time a different project, no tattoos, but a design for a knife. It's not a normal knife for cutting your meat, but more a kind of artistic/decorative design. The final piece will be cut by a friend, who is using CNCOne at work. He needs a special kind of file format, a .dxf file.<br />
<br />
This means that I need to use Adobe Illustrator to export the linedrawing of the knife, so he can import it into CNCone, a CAD/CAM software program, used to instruct a carving machine to make objects from all kinds of metal, wood and plastics.<br />
<br />
For more information on CNCone, you can visit a blog called <a href="http://cnczone.com/">CNCzone.com</a><br />
<br />
Well, first I started of with a pencil sketch and scanned it. Placed the file in Adobe Illustrator and used the pen tool to trace the image. Here's a picture of the first knife I designed:<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Then I used the 3d filter to add some depth:</div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The file was exported as a .dxf file so my friend could use it CNCone, but there was a problem with the design, especially the inner parts. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The spindle that carves out the metal is round with a minimim diameter of 4 mm, so it can not carve all the sharp edges of the design. The outer shape was not a problem fortunately.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div>So I had to adjust the knife design, back to the drawing table....<br />

<br />
Recently I created two new tattoo designs for my webshop. The first tattoo is a Kirituhi Maori style shoulder design. All my tattoos are hand-drawn on A3 paper with a B2 pencil. First I sketch the basic shape of the shoulder and upper arm and then add some koru (fern) curves that flow nicely through the design. Once I'm satisfied with the overall look, I start filling in the patterns between the korus with triangles, lines, spearheads and other repetitive shapes.

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">For my Youtube channel I created a special video, so you can see the total design from start to finish:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
The final high resolution is available on my website, but can also be purchased here on my blog. Once I receive your payment, you will get 2 high quality .jpg files. The first one is the full design including gradients, the second is the linedrawing or stencil for your tattoo artist, so he can easily transfer the outlines of the design to your skin with thermal paper.<br />

<br />
A few months ago I created a Maori fern tattoo design for a customer from New-Zealand, also named Aotearoa. The koru is the spiral shape of a silver fern frond and it is a symbol of growth, strenght and peace. This symbol is used in a lot of Maori art, carving and tattoos.<br />
<br />
My Kiwi customer from the Pacific Ocean asked me to design a tattoo to cover the full side of his body, from armpit to just above the hip. First I created a sketch with pencil for the rough outline of the fern. Then I added some repetitive leaves and koru shapes on the bottom. To add some more depth and 3d to the fern and arrow shapes, I added shadings to the leaves. The high resolution tattoo is optimized and the linedrawing or stencil is created for the customer. This linedrawing is used to transfer the outlines of this koru tatoo to the body.<br />
<br />

<br />
It has been quite a while since my last post, but I have been really busy with all kind of projects, from logo design to t-shirts and other custom projects.<br />
<br />
Here's my latest design in Maori style, a shoulder sleeve for my galleries, where it is available for purchase.<br />
This series of pictures shows the process from the first pencil sketch to the traced design:<br />

<br />
<br />Here's the 3rd design of my latest sketches in a <a href="http://storm3d.blogspot.com/search/label/samoan%20for%20sale">Samoan inspired tattoo set</a>. This design has some influences from the Maori style, but is mainly filled with Samoan patterns.
<br />
<br />I started with a pencil and roughly sketched the outer lines, then traced some tribal patterns:

<br />For these symmetrical Samoan designs it's always a bit of a surprise how the final design will look. I only draw half the design and then mirror it in Photoshop. This seems easy, but it quity tricky to design the patterns in such a way that it doesn't have an obvious vertical line in the center.
<br />
<br />Here's a picture of half the design finished:

<br />
<br />I have been quite busy for the last few weeks, but I wanted to show you some sketches and tattoo pieces that I did. It's another Samaon/Maori inspired shoulder sleeve I did for my galleries.
<br />
<br />As you can read in my <a href="http://storm3d.blogspot.com/2011/07/samoan-inspired-shoulder-tattoo-design.html">previous post</a>, I'm working on a new series of Samoan inspired tattoos for the shoulder, with some influences from the Maori style.
<br />You can find all 3 Samoan sleeves <a href="http://storm3d.blogspot.com/search/label/samoan%20for%20sale">here</a>.
<br />
<br />
<br />Here's the second sketch I did:

<br /><div>I get a lot of request from people that are looking for a Samoan-inspired design, similar to the Sonny Bill Williams tattoo sleeve.</div><div>So I decided to design a set of intricate shoulder tatoo pieces with a lot of small details in a graphic style.</div> You can find all 3 designs in this set <a href="http://storm3d.blogspot.com/search/label/samoan%20for%20sale">here</a>.
<br />
<br /><div>The original design of SBW looks like this:</div>

I can easily add these photos to my twitter messages (<a href="http://twitter.com/#%21/storm3d">@storm3d</a>) and upload the movies to Youtube.com in a few clicks. It's also very usefull for quickly browsing the web...<br /><br />There's only one big downside to Apple products, and that's the fact that Apple doesn't support the Adobe Flash plugin. For my website galleries, I use(d) the "simpleviewer" <a href="http://simpleviewer.net/simpleviewer/">plugin</a>, that creates a really nice and simple Flash gallery with a thumbnail and a larger image next or above it.<br /><br />Now I use my Ipad, I see that a lot of mobile visitors cannot see the designs in my gallery, so I had to make changes to it.<br /><br />My website design is based on the principles of the "Save the Pixel" e-book by <a href="http://www.savethepixel.org/">Ben Hunt</a>, which states that the design should be as simple as possible and every pixel should contribute to the main goal of the website.<br /><br />Keeping this in mind, I redesigned the tattoo galleries. Here's a picture of the 'before' gallery:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz1ZHe6dBseX15odh9_NF15ynikBI-sb68xX9Y-k5r662n-RRxrEDRGTAczsbeZe7FQxvVbynPsJabS9yzhgQ9wKIA5Yw7zZm2cFJN57y-Czebtvz9xgxz-vJyA0Fh7olIyIrE9uvKGpY/s1600/flash-gallery-with-maori-tattoos-for-sale-designer-artist.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 313px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiz1ZHe6dBseX15odh9_NF15ynikBI-sb68xX9Y-k5r662n-RRxrEDRGTAczsbeZe7FQxvVbynPsJabS9yzhgQ9wKIA5Yw7zZm2cFJN57y-Czebtvz9xgxz-vJyA0Fh7olIyIrE9uvKGpY/s400/flash-gallery-with-maori-tattoos-for-sale-designer-artist.jpg" alt="flash gallery with maori tattoos for sale designer artist" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612224310609494178" border="0" /></a>The red marked area is the flash movie containing the maori tattoo gallery.<br /><br />People could scroll through the images and see the number and price of the design.<br /><br />Before ordering it, customers had to select the correct tattoo nr. from the dropdown list and hit the "Buy Now" button.<br /><br /><br />People often selected the wrong tattoo and bought the piece they didn't want.<br /><br /><br /><br />To get rid of this problem I decided to implement the Lightbox plugin/script to my gallery instead of the simpleviewer movie.<br />One other advantage was that I could add the size and price of the design in the header/description and even add a Paypal button, so it became impossible to order the wrong tatoo design.<br /><br />The new gallery is now looking like this, with the lightbox frame popping up:<br /><br /><a href="http://storm3d.com/maori_tattoo_designs/maori_tattoo_gallery.html"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJN9wigW0GAle0BOmQjEDqGKgJg0dNHvacqSoHuvlCOMYw54je93ea_b7BqgQV9s2vGu6JH6ihbmw5ype_Ys8drdxj83kAOEEa22VosbdWrKrKU5WU7KKG8eCQ8p-70EM8qUcYulB1fUA/s400/maori-tattoo-gallery-high-resolution-designs-for-sale.jpg" alt="maori tattoo gallery high resolution designs for sale" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612229815984301394" border="0" /></a><a href="http://storm3d.com/maori_tattoo_designs/buy_maori_tattoo_designs_online.html"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 319px; height: 250px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhY2_7EQKxWezHM85l6aUid9Z9OaG52NAHth_NV3O1ySQsWZFwmWIBfZlPKKAK6gad774Qde64ezEvvNdFZXg99giz4H-sk9Nf-0pwEQz9IWHmpE4L0UjMCvMXA_zau9RG85bD1yfLuqqQ/s400/lightbox-plugin-for-tattoo-gallery-webshop-paypal-button.jpg" alt="lightbox plugin for tattoo gallery webshop paypal button" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5612228709638569906" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />So if you have an Ipad, Ipod or Iphone, please check it out and let me know if there's anything I can change to improve it.<br /><br />Kind regards, Mark Storm<br />info@storm3d.com<div class="blogger-post-footer">For all Kirituhi and tribal tattoo designs, please visit www.storm3d.com</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662675724547217459.post-38145380283344029832011-05-27T05:24:00.000-07:002012-06-06T05:12:56.628-07:00Tattoo pictures of a "Cesc Fabregas" inspired elbow tattooHi,<br />
<br />
Yesterday one of my customers (thanks Ruairi! :)) showed me some pictures of his new tattoo that I sketched a few months ago. The tatoo design is inspired by the elbow tattoo of the Arsenal soccer player <a href="http://www.google.nl/search?q=Cesc+Fabregas&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:nl:official&client=firefox-a">Cesc Fabregas</a>, and is in a graphical polynesian style.<br />
<br />
The original high quality flash design that I made looks like this:<br />

It has a shark tooth, some kind of an eye and other repetitive patterns.<br />

The band wraps around the elbow and connects perfectly on the outside of the arm.<br />

<br />
Last year I created a half sleeve tattoo in polynesian style for a Dutch customer. It's a bit of a mixed tribal style, it has some stylized flowers and other repetitive shapes:<br />

Unfortunately the tattoo artist applied the stencil too small, so it now needs some extensions.<br />
<br />
I marked the upper shoulder part that had to be inked.<br />
<br />
<br />
I created a basic sketch and once it was approved I finalized it. To give you an idea how that process works I shot a short movie and placed it on youtube:<br />
<br />

The tatoo wraps around the upper leg, just above the knee.<br />It has some Samoan and polynesian elements, but mainly consists of Koru tribal designs, filled with small detailed shapes.<br /><br />First I made a basic layout with flowing curves and added some rows of arrowheads:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib_7rs6bNxcn_fHRqZS9YxH0m_iQjH5TrVlHsvn62Fx2SRy8d3P0bhKBzDugoWHmo1D3TT6o5XzY3kHBQP4rD9mLTVAugMX0JdhPKloaHUS_zNLyVnAFPxCXbVr-mb2Bh6E_GQO8sMU5M/s1600/maori-samoan-kneeband-tattoo-sketches-design.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 122px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib_7rs6bNxcn_fHRqZS9YxH0m_iQjH5TrVlHsvn62Fx2SRy8d3P0bhKBzDugoWHmo1D3TT6o5XzY3kHBQP4rD9mLTVAugMX0JdhPKloaHUS_zNLyVnAFPxCXbVr-mb2Bh6E_GQO8sMU5M/s400/maori-samoan-kneeband-tattoo-sketches-design.jpg" alt="maori samoan kneeband tattoo sketches design" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607959893321019234" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Then I filled the tattoo with polynesian and samoan elements, like triangles, waves and lines:<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8-H8JhvoGazyrzEgu1TVTaih48g7EblWrZc3jY3wu8PuzwAVTlSboEovyYmm9dr2LDUWK07qdRpEpsqsCOr4ybgSPr9XpvCA3S-8Gw9bcGBwYAhr0S2h93dV2KlSpYpWewyZKAGp5SCY/s1600/knee-tattoo-band-around-leg-pencil-drawings.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 122px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8-H8JhvoGazyrzEgu1TVTaih48g7EblWrZc3jY3wu8PuzwAVTlSboEovyYmm9dr2LDUWK07qdRpEpsqsCOr4ybgSPr9XpvCA3S-8Gw9bcGBwYAhr0S2h93dV2KlSpYpWewyZKAGp5SCY/s400/knee-tattoo-band-around-leg-pencil-drawings.jpg" alt="knee tattoo band around leg pencil drawings" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607959896709108530" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />My customer approved the design, so I could trace it and optimize the high resolution tattoo in Photoshop.
