a splash of yellow lotus flowers

by · Joe @ Off the Map Tattoo · February 1, 2014

In this edition of the video blog I got the privilege of doing an abstract, watercolor inspired tattoo of water lilies. Since the client was fond of yellow and orange tones we decided to make the flowers a golden color with muted blues for background. She loved the way I did the owl tattoo in my portfolio and gave me total control over the composition, allowing me to really have fun with all the little splatters and textures. We plan to now let the tattoo heal and settle for three to four weeks and then go back in for roughly another hour to tighten details and make sure there is enough contrast throughout the tattoo. This has become a favorite style for me, I love how relaxed and free the process feels and I can't wait to explore things further! Hope you enjoy the video!
