hi everyone! i hope everyone had a nice weekend! i want to thank everyone who
left such encouraging supportive comments on my
last post. it really
felt so good to get it out there. i am still i bit stressed but at least
i feel better about. thank you everyone!!
so, onward and upwards! this weekend i finished my latest tattoo flash for a client. i am very very excited to finally be able to share with you! i started on the design mid april and had to stop because of my show and i needed to concentrate on getting some work done for that. i picked it back up mid may and it has been slow going ever since.
it has been really fun to work on this one because it was exactly what i love about designing. she had very specific flowers she was looking for calendulas, mums and larkspurs and i added some little ditsy flowers to fill in the rest. i was working around another exsisting tattoo making it a bit harder then normal but i am always up for a challenge! she is getting it on her back shoulder all the way to the front of her elbow.
i think it is gonna look so awesome and i can't wait to see the finished piece on her! right now i am working on some wedding invitations and then after that a cover up which i can't wait to start!
oh! just a heads up, starting august the pricing of my
tattoo designs will be going up so if you want to get them at the price they are now, i can put you down in my calendar!
tom and i are waiting on a disposable camera from our weekend adventure, i can't wait to share!
xoxoxoxo,

Ohhh my, you talented lady. This is gorgeous! I love the big really detailed flowers who's name I do not know especially!
ReplyDeletethanks kate! those are calendulas! i love those too, i think my favorite out of the bunch too!
DeleteThat is just lovely, Cristie. SO pretty. I've been wanting a floral piece next but I've been putting it off. Maybe I should try and decide just what exactly it is that I want.
ReplyDeletewhere would you put it? i thought you found an embroidery piece that you liked? if you want i can always help you with designing it.
DeleteThis is beautiful! You would make such a great tattoo artist :)
ReplyDeletethanks eleni! i am currently trying to get my portfolio together and start hitting shops up and see if i can apprentice somewhere.
DeleteReally lovely! I love that there are flowers in profile as well as face on :)
ReplyDeletethe profile ones were so much fun to draw, i always love drawing more 3d flowers rather then flat ones, makes the drawing more interesting!
DeleteAbsolutely beautiful! You are so talented, every single one of your drawings is beautiful!
ReplyDeletethanks bianca!! that means so much to me!
Deletethat's such a gorgeous design!! I'm really a big fan of your drawing style :)
ReplyDeleteYES! this looks amazing, but so do all of your designs!
ReplyDeletethanks danielle!
DeleteI can just imagine that tattoo and I bet it's gonna end really beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSincerely,
Sabrina
i think it will look great too, i can't wait to see it on her!
DeleteIncredible design. I just got my first tattoo, so tattoo designs have a whole new meaning for me. Beautiful art to get to live with daily.
ReplyDeleteall my tattoo's have been my own designs so they mean sooooo much more to me. i wouldn't have it any other way now!
DeleteWhen I saw this photo (before I read the post) I thought "That would make an amazing tattoo" and low and behond...it is going to be one! I cannot wait to see the finished product, you did an awesome job miss!
ReplyDeleteyay! thanks sweetie! so glad it looks like it would a great tattoo!
DeleteCristie, your art here is gorgeous, really. It's going to look phenomenal on the shoulder and upper arm the way you described. Is it at all possible for the person who is going to be getting this tattoo to share it once it's on her skin?
ReplyDeleteIt's such a perfect image. You go girl!
thanks kristen! i hope she shares! i have asked all my clients to send me pictures of their finished tattoos and if she sends me one then i will for sure share!
DeleteGosh you are killing these designs lady! I think this one may be my fave deign yet!
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to hear you are feeling a little better. I wish I could help you get some things off your plate but I suck at drawing and birds scare me, but if you need to book geek out on anyone Im your girl!
thanks amber! i am feeling much better today! i wish you could help me or just hang out with me and we could drink our cares away! haha but yes i love geeking out with you on books. have you read any of the lord of the rings? that is were i am at right now :)
DeleteLove the new design & all those beautiful flowers - I wish my garden was full of them they look so pretty. Wedding invites will be fabulous I'm sure (& loved to hear what you're receiving, enjoy!), hope that list is starting to get a little smaller? :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see your weekend photos too honey. xox
i know i wish i could have all those flowers too but i can hardly keep my poppies alive because our diry is soooo dry and clay like here :( so i am excited about my form of payment because she also works on any problems i have which i am terrible at standing up straight and she can work on that with me! yayayayayayayyayayayayy!
