I was so happy with how this custom tattoo design came out.
It was one of my favorite pieces of art… with the lacing up the back. This is a
great example of how I collaborate with my clients. He gave me lots of feedback
and suggestions, which really helped me draw exactly what he wanted. I would
have LOVED to see this one completed.
Clients Description Request:
Detailed Anglo Saxon shield wall 1/2 sleeve , got a feeling
it'll be for the more experienced artist.
Right arm wrist to 3 inches above elbow. No colour please
just shading. I would like some text as a part of the tattoo, at the bottom
round the wrist I would like" UBIQUE QUO FAS ET GLORIA DUCUNT" this
means, everywhere with right and glory we lead. That is my old regimental motto
(I'm ex British army) this text could be
in like a scroll type format, but open to ideas? The main design of the tattoo
is a Anglo Saxon shield wall. With Anglo Saxon warriors in full battle dress
with overlapping shields going around my arm with their feet starting just
above the text( just above my wrist). For details of how they looked, please
search "1066 battle of Hastings Anglo Saxon shield wall" further up
the arm I'm prepared to let u experiment a bit. Maybe a sky full of arrows or a
battle in the distance, or just woodland, I’m not 100% sure so please feel free
to go crazy. Many thanks I'm very excited. Just an idea also would be king
Harold standing behind the shield wall, clutching his face with a arrow in his
eye (that's how he died at the battle of Hastings)
Client feedback:
:) hi Pam :) this is fantastic. Think this looks really
good! Just what I was picturing in my head!! At the back of the arm could the
bit the text is written on be made to look like its tied together? Nothing to
complicated perhaps just a bow or a knot, and a slightly bigger hill. (this
battle was known for being on a hill just down the road from where I live).
Yes!! that looks
bloody brilliant, what u think? I'd say with the laces all the way up! I think
we have ourselves a winner!! Thanks. Cheers Pam, great work. :)
