Shark and turtle
Hello! I know it’s been awhile, so I thought I’d add a little post of something in the works:
Here is a detail of a full leg piece currently in progress. We are adding more fish to what will be a complete underwater scene that expresses the clients love of the water, diving and sharks, especially. This one has been a long time in the works, but we hope to reach completion soon!!

A close up of Bernini’s Saint Jerome
At PluraBella, we looove Bernini! So many incredible statues to chose from! All with so much expression and emotion….naturally, they make beautiful and intense subject matter for tattoos. Here is a detail of a recently completed sleeve of statuary featuring Bernini’s Saint Jerome cradled by some calla lilies. I’ll be posting more pictures of this entire sleeve very soon!

Here is a new photo of a tattoo the I completed in early summer, now fully healed and settled into the skin. Next we will be adding to the inner arm, for a more complete look.

Here’s a wave and sun tattoo that I had the pleasure of working on recently. By keeping the subject matter simple with just 2 elements within this piece, we were able to do the waves at a large size while keeping the over all size of the tattoo relatively small. It’s often very appealing to the collector to try to put alot of subject matter into a tattoo, but there is an awful lot to be said for restraint: a singular or direct concept can still be a complex tattoo design with lots of depth and strength.
This pic was taken immediately after the second session( just 2 sessions to complete) and so there is alot of redness visible here. I’ll get a healed shot of this one in the future.

Lion and Ramses tattoo in progress.
Ok, it’s been ages since I’ve posted anything. It’s awful, I know. That’s the bad news.
The good news is that we’ve gotten some lovely new photography lights at the studio, so it should be alot easier to take proper pics of tattoos!
So, now on to more good stuff!!!
This photograph is an in progress shot of a fun tattoo that I finished recently. We had one more session after this one, which was mostly spent finishing an area on the back of the arm. During this particular session, I worked on the majority of the piece, which is why the whole thing has a lot of redness visible here. I’ll have some shots of the completed tattoo shortly, but in the meantime, I really like this photo and so I thought that it would be great to share it.
I love the lion and Ramses together, as symbols of strength and wisdom and I’m very happy with how this tattoo sits on the clients body. One of the things that makes this work is the fact that the client was willing to go large for the lion head. We used the entire chest and that made a huge difference in the impact here; anything smaller would have drastically compromised the illustrative quality and it would have left the 2 subjects too far apart- I think that here we were able to achieve a good balance between subject matter and background.
I’ll be posting the full shots of the healed tattoo soon!
Take care all!
Brenda
