When I was making my final tweaks to my cover design. It occurred to me that I had forgotten to add tattoos during my model make-over process. I believe to have forgotten this feature when my teacher had told me that I could not use internet images therefore my past blogs which included internet pictures were all scrapped, including the tattoo designs I originally created.
However, I found that brusheasy, a website I use to download stamps also included tattoo stamps therefore I realised I could continue with the tattoo project. After downloading a couple tattoo stamp examples to Photoshop, I worked quickly to implement them onto my cover and double page spread model. The finished look are on the images located above.
My model is wearing a jumper therefore I only had a little wrist and hand space left and hand tattoos rarely seen. By placing the tattoos at the wrist section, it creates the impression my model has a full sleeve tattoo. A full sleeve is more of a hard-core tattoo as it takes several weeks of money and pain to eventually get a good one. So, if an artist is seen with a sleeve tattoo, people can see money and pain means nothing to them and a metal artist would like to be associated of such "bad-ass" trades.
