Visions
Conceptual designs, drawn on bodies
Visions are conceptual tattoo designs drawn directly on the body — studies of how a composition sits, flows and moves with the person wearing it, before any needle is involved.
Drawing on the body is where I do my best thinking. A design that looks balanced flat on a piece of paper can fight the shape of a shoulder, a ribcage or a forearm. Working directly on skin lets the design follow the body instead of sitting on top of it.
These sketches are where larger custom projects begin — a way to see the direction together before we commit to the tattoo itself.

Full-leg ornamental concept
Sharp, flowing blackwork ornament drawn to follow the whole leg — it narrows at the knee, flares at the calf and tapers to a point above the ankle, tracing the limb's natural line.

Back concept with ornamental medallion
A full-back design built around one central ornamental medallion, with dotted geometry sweeping down the spine and small elements — a skull, a butterfly, antlers — placed to balance the shoulders and lower back.

Forearm-to-hand blackwork concept
A symmetrical blackwork pattern drawn straight down the forearm and onto the back of the hand, its mirrored bands opening and closing to follow the arm's taper.

Full-body concept: dragon and saints
A whole-body composition in progress — a dragon coiling across the collarbones, a cherub on the upper arm, a butterfly over the ribs and a cross at the navel, with darker figures arriving on the thighs.

Sleeve concept: skull halo and scales
A sleeve design moving from a radiating skull halo at the shoulder down through an eagle, a compass rose and a set of scales, ending in a cross at the hand — each station set along the arm's flow.

Torso concept: mirrored horses
Two mirrored horses facing each other across the chest, with fine blackwork linework drifting down the centre line of the abdomen to hold the composition together.

Tell me the idea, the placement and roughly how much room you have. I'll come back with a direction, a format and an estimate.
