![]() In fact, there was a detail of the old tattoo on the side that we hadn’t thought about. ![]() Therefore, the idea was put aside, but only until the completion of the back. It would have been too small and I couldn’t find a coherent placement in any area of the design. ![]() Once the design was completed, the client asked to add a spider, but unless it was a giant one in the foreground, which would have completely changed the design, it didn’t make sense. The size of the design, the limited amount of details, and the large areas tattooed with needles ranging from 35 to 49 mag certainly accelerated the process. I honestly thought that the work would have taken way longer than was actually necessary. The old tattoo didn’t worry me too much it was very old and faded, so I could easily camouflage it under Death’s hood.Īs for the writing, I have to admit that the idea of incorporating it didn’t excite me, but despite that, by surrounding it with the design and enriching it with a contrasting outline with the palette used for the design, I managed to make it harmonious. However, the work presented a couple of limitations, a cover-up of an old tattoo on the right scapula and a writing that the client wanted to keep. My suggestion was accepted, and all that was left to do was to create the design. This way the illustration would be more harmonious and interesting. I wasn’t entirely convinced about the idea of Death holding two similar objects, so I suggested combining the two objects by making the hourglass with luminous sand. After a sleeve, a calf, a thigh portrait, and an addition to an old tattoo, this loyal client decided to have me create a back piece as well.Īs always, his idea was very clear: Death with an hourglass and a lamp in its hands.
