New Design for this summer poll; I already like how it's going it's been a bit since I've drawn any tattoo art. But I'm excited to do another set since the old ones I do are referencing off Russian prisoner tattoos which is a rabbit hole in it's own.

I did a thread on these in another post but it's neat coming up with a small idea or story/reason for each tattoo. Simple as "She got this one after a battle" or "She got this one for her Company" etc. The real problem comes to mixing cybernetics with this. Which luckily I'm gonna get around that using another color. Blue in this case for reasons I'll explain in a little bit. My Cyrillic isn't the most sharp either so it leads to some grammatical errors but luckily there's only imagery on these tats I'm doing. Below is one of the many many references I used for the Russian tattoos when I do them. It's amazing how starting with little pieces build up to a whole canvas of it's own.

I'm doing Koi Fish as a bit of an homage to the reference I'm using which is this character called Carp from Lisa the Painful. I recently played it again for a fourth, fifth and sixth time to get the final few achievements I didn't get last time I played it.

Other than that I'm going to do a Gyaru design as well. Something flashy I've been drawing a lot of serious stuff recently so this will be a good chance to break out into something more funky.
