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.
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.
