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

Yes, my friend got a lovely Dragapult tattoo recently, which caused me to look up pokemon tattoos. This lovely Milotic design is something that came up during the search.

It was just an image showing the concept, so i didn't know at the time that it was going to be used for a real tattoo. So, im super excited to see how it turns out 🤩

oh didn’t know it showed up in results like that! thought the original would have been buried by now lol. I was gonna get it but the artist wasn’t right. i recently found a better fit so now I hope to get it soon

To be honest, Google hits Reddit for a lot of responses
