In my work, I used my favorite Lukyanov's set from КРАСКА, with the addition of White Magic by КРАСКА too. Since the work is located on the same hand where the cover-up is planned in the future, I suggested to use some combination of classic black and gray using silver - this is what I call gray shades. This is one of the most important moments in preparing for work, so I always do this as concentrated as possible without being distracted even by chatting with the client. Also, such printers are very often mistaken and do not provide the necessary purity of transfer, which creates a lot of inconvenience and confusion at the design stage. With a printer, there is simply no way to think over and «feel» the future tattoo.
This is a kind of draft for me, like training before the main stage. I already partially imagine that I'm tattooing, thinking about the work itself, remember and note important points and details, separating «warm from soft».
I transfer the sketch exclusively by hand, marking line after line. Then I prepare a sketch in Photoshop, I always increase the contrast and print. First, I sketch on his hand, estimate the location, details, take measurements. I would like to separately talk about preparing the project to work. So the idea to make a composition of the ship came to me.
When we discussed with him what and how we will continue, he said that he liked the marine theme, cause he is associating his soul with the sea. He asked to fix the raven, but since the guy had an idea to make a whole sleeve, I suggested that we start from the bottom of his hand from clean skin and, in accordance with the colors and sizes of the new tattoo, decide in the process how to remodel this raven. He wanted a raven, but he got some sort of embryo of a jackdaw. One day a guy with a terrible raven tattoo on his shoulder, which he made with his local master came to me.
