This was a really cool project for me to work
on. I didn’t really know what hops looked like before doing my research…but they
are really pretty. You can see my client’s
description below. Above are the finished designs and the completed tattoo. It
really means a lot for me to see the art tattooed. I feel very personally about
each one.
Client’s Request Description:
Hops - Looking to have a hop vine design that
is very eye catching! Nothing hugely specific, looking for a broad variety of
designs. Location can be from the shoulder to half way down the bicep. I am
looking to have a hop vine with leaves and cones included. I want to use greens
and blacks for the coloring. I'm looking for this tattoo to be a more masculine
take on a hop vine.
A wonderful note from my client:
“Hey here it is! Just got it done today! I love
the way it looks! still a little tender... Took roughly 3 1/2 hours of
tattooing, I really love the way it sits on my arm and the (tattoo) artist here
was really good and a pretty cool guy! I’m still in the peeling stage of the
healing so still no showing it off in broad daylight yet! I bought some spf 100
sunblock to protect it, haha. I couldn't be happier with the way it turned out
(okay maybe when it's fully healed ;)"
