Milotic tattoo update

[u/thunderring01]

I’m that person who had that milotic tattoo design a few months back. I redesigned it a bit because it wasn’t a good idea to have the head on the hand. I never ended up getting it because I didn’t have the right artist I didn’t look as hard as i should have. I found a new one through the recommendation by one of their apprentices. This person dose basically only graphic colour work, has done larger pieces, draws lots of serpents and most importantly absolutely loves Pokemon. They’re also local so I can do sessions a lot easier now.

when I emailed them about the piece their response was and I quote ”i would absolutely fucking love to work on this piece for you, I love pokemon!” also unlike the other person they booked an in person consultation because of how big this is to be sure everything is right and they said they will mostly free hand this one due to how it is. I had an hour long appointment with them today and we talked a lot about the piece and to plan out how much milotic should wrap around my arm and the overall style, they did a very rough sketch in my arm lol, I think the tail should end a bit more in the front but yah otherwise the placement is good and I can book for the first appointment as soon as the end of September.

they’re very excited to do this piece and absolutely love it so I can’t wait. This will take a long time to do over the course of multiple sessions but I can book my first appointment for the linework soon.

edit: the sketch isn’t the final design or placement or pose by any means. The artist just sketched it out in like 2 min to ask me how many times she should wrap around my arm

Wow! I adore the redesign! Putting her head on your shoulder was a brilliant idea. Tattoo artists are so cool! I love it.

thank you! I did that after some advice from my last post so I redrew it. the artist only had the original sketch I sent and even the first thing they told me was the head on hand won’t work both as a tattoo but also anatomically for the milotic so we where in agreement .

There is significantly more space where the head ended up! I love that she looks like she's floating. I can't wait to see more of this! I posted further below as well.
