The client wants a frog-themed design, accompanied by some calligraphy-style elements. Since each tattoo will be placed on a different part of the body, the design will vary accordingly to follow the natural flow and structure of the body. Our goal is to make the overall composition look harmonious and natural from every angle.

I really like this kind of linear design — it works with the body’s structure and makes it look very natural.

It’s a difficult position to work with because I need to maintain the overall structure without any distortion, and it also has to look natural. After finishing it, I felt like it’s a really cool composition and placement.

The client wanted to cover up an old tattoo and chose this design. I changed the original flower colors to make the cover-up look more natural.
