Cesc Fabregas inspired tribal armband / elbow tattoo design

Hi,

I get a lot of requests on designing a armband tattoos inspired by the Cesc Fabregas tattoo (which I did a while ago), so I decided to create a few nice Polynesian armbands with a mix of Maori style.

In my previous post you can see my first armband/elbow design, which is the first of a series of 3 or 4 tattoos.

Here's the second tatoo sketch:

In the centre of the design you see one half of a tribal mask, with some koru Maori curles. I really like to mix different tribal elements and patterns into one aesthetic tattoo.
My designs don't have specific meanings or stories, it's only a graphic representation, inspired by the beautiful Maori, Samoan and Polynesian shapes.

Once I finished my pencil sketch, I trace it with a black felt-tip marker and a Pilot fineliner. 

Below you can see a picture of the traced drawing:

After it is scanned in high quality (300 dpi), I optimize it in Photoshop and create a linedrawing so your tattoo artist can use it to transfer the tatoos onto your shoulder/arm.

The design is seamless, which means that it totally surrounds your arm and has no beginning or ending. 

To make this visible for you, I created a cylindrical model in Google Sketchup:

Because not all arms are perfectly round, your tattoo artist might need to tweak/adjust the design for you, so it makes a perfect fit.

If you wish to order the high resolution design, simply hit the "Buy now" button.

After payment, I'll send you the high resolution design + a linedrawing for your tattoo artist.

Title: Tribal tattoo 201

Size: 30 x 12,5 cm (11,5 x 4,5 inches) 

(can be scaled to fit your arm)

Price: 35,70 euro (48 USD)

Any questions or comments? Just let me know!

Tattoo pictures of a "Cesc Fabregas" inspired elbow tattoo

Hi,

Yesterday one of my customers (thanks Ruairi! :)) showed me some pictures of his new tattoo that I sketched a few months ago. The tatoo design is inspired by the elbow tattoo of the Arsenal soccer player Cesc Fabregas, and is in a graphical polynesian style.

The original high quality flash design that I made looks like this:


It has a shark tooth, some kind of an eye and other repetitive patterns.

The band wraps around the elbow and connects perfectly on the outside of the arm.



My customer sent me the following photos of elbow:

Finished Kirituhi tribal style tattoo designs

Hi!

I just finished two nice tattoo designs in a Kirituhi style mixed with some other tribal elements.
The first one is a forearm tatoo design, which has some flames at the wrist in a negative space.
The other elements had to be sharp and my customer wanted some curles in it.
Here's the final tat2 design:
















The second design is for the elbow in a Kirituhi-style with some "storm3d" flow to it.
It's a seamless piece, so the tattoo will wrap around without any visible edges.











Will be back in a day or two with a backpiece and some other projects, so check back soon!

Kind regards, Mark Storm

Elbow tattoo design in mixed tribal style

Hi!

It has been a while since I posted my last sketches and updates, but here is a new tattoo project that I started yesterday.
One of my customers asked me to do an elbow tattoo, similar to the one Cesc Fabregas has.
He only wanted to have it in a mixed tribal style like some of my images on my website.

Here are the first pictures of this design in progress:











The design has to be seamless, so I need to do some work on both sides to complete the sketch.

I e-mailed these pictures to my client, so I will get back soon with an update.

Kind regards, Mark Storm
