Soooo its going to be a while before I can start this, but I'd really like my tattoo sleeve to be dog related. I'm planning on using the same artist that is doing my chest piece because I just love her work so much.
That said, I had an idea initially but I'm starting to lean more towards doing character portraits of my pups and maybe of my old girl Cheyanne who died shortly before I adopted Bamm.
I found a couple dog tattoos online that sort of resemble the style/idea I have.
What I was thinking for each dog:
Bamm:
He is so smart its scary sometimes and he's the old man of the group. My idea with him is to do a bucket top hat with the single eye glass like in the second photo I posted... Maybe add a pocket watch somewhere? An orange bowtie with black spots since he is named after Bamm Bamm from the Flintstones?
Cricket:
My family jokes around and calls her my Mexican fighting dog and joke that she came from Mexico with switchblades. I was thinking about having her wear a sombrero with a switchblade as part of frame that surrounds her portrait. I'd also probably add a bottle of tequila or something, but not positive. She would need to have something girly too though... Maybe a necklace and have the sombrero more feminine?
Joey:
Can't decide what to do for his. He is a goofy stubborn derp dog, an overgrown pup so to speak. He has such a love for playing, goofing around, getting into stuff he shouldn't and boy is he bouncy bouncy and quite a klutz. Not sure what would be a way to characterize him in his photo.
I also want to include a pawprint for each dog on the sleeve though not yet sure how so...
I have to finish my chest piece first so its going to be a long while before I can start on my sleeve.
Anyone have any ideas to add?
