custom maori / kirituhi tattoo design by tatoo designer Mark Storm

Hey!

I'm designing a large shoulder tattoo in Maori / Kirituhi style and would like to show you the pencil sketch I have so far.

It consists of a few large koru / fern , the national symbol of New-Zealand and the Kiwi people.

Just let me know what you think.

Tattoo in memory of grandfather in tribal style

Hi there,

I received a message from a customer who would like to have a tattoo to remember his grandfather who past away. He wanted to have a design of 12 cm x 6 cm on the inside of his lowerarm. The only thing I had toincorporate was a Myosotis flower.

The first sketch was a bit too curly and feminin as you can see:














I had to make a new sketch and it worked out really nice. It's a symmetrical design with the flower right in the middle. The flower needed some color, so I used yellow and blue for it.

Here's the final design:













I'll get back with some new designs soon!

Regards, Mark

How to design a maori shoulder tattoo: Step four

I completely filled the tattoo sketch with maori, tribal and polynesian style shapes.
The design is finished in pencil and at this stage it's not very clean and tight.
















Here's the combined picture of both sides of the tattoo fitting perfectly and seamless:













Now I use a quality marker with a tip of 2mm, and start tracing the entire design.
After a few years of practise a got quite a steady hand for drawing straight sharp lines.

Tomorrow I post the entire Maori shoulder tattoo design.

Kind regards, Mark Storm

Finished Maori Shoulder piece

Here's the finished shoulder tattoo design in Maori style.

I have to add it to my website/webshop, but here's a small preview for you.






Last week I made a custom
piece for a customer from Norway.
It had to match the style of an existing tattoo.
He wanted a symmetrical design, based on a fish/shark, with elements like triangles and scales.






My inspiration also resulted in another shoulder piece.
Not available on my website yet, because I need to scan it in high resolution.
Please let me know what you think of the latest designs!






I'm working on a step by step example on how to I design my maori shoulder pieces. Hope to post it in a few days.




Kind regards,

Mark
