Identifying Exceptional Moments In The Tattoo

[14:13] “If you just did a monster with some buildings in the background, it does the trick, but it doesn’t give you that oomph. [You need] size comparison. To me the one thing that was really cool about it was the little tiny streetlamp that was on, that nobody ever saw.”

I really love this idea of additional elements in a design to add depth and context to the overall narrative. This is especially true when working on illustrative tattoos. Adding extra details and creating little moments or scenes can really bring the design to life and enhance the storytelling aspect.

When approaching a design, consider if it is meant to be purely decorative or if there is a story to be told. Consider the flow of the design and how you want the viewer's eyes to travel through it. By strategically placing these little moments throughout the design, you can create a more engaging and dynamic tattoo that truly resonates with the client.
