Free tattoo sitting #2 (Dissolution)

Roddy Mclean tattooer — Tue, 30 Apr 2013 18:34:19 +0000

Today’s second full day sitting on this around ten hours in now looking to be the fastest and most unusual sleeve I’ve made to date ” based on my pen and ink artwork the concept was a very loose idea it’s been great fun applying it to skin i call this stuff dissolution as it looks like its dissolving i will be pushing this project as far as I can go. I will be looking for open minded tattoo collectors to push this area of my tattooing I’m bored of all the safe shit.in a day and age where most people sport tattoos it will take something unusual to set us apart ” go hard or go home”

Round two

.
Dissolution process is of fundamental importance to the description of numerous natural processes on earth, and it is commonly utilized by humans. Dissolution testing is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry for optimization of formulation and quality control.

Black n grey chrysanthemums sleeve

Roddy Mclean tattooer — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 22:39:53 +0000

This Tattoo walked in to town today from the far reaches of Campbeltown I made most of this sleeve in my old shop with a finishing session 2years ago in the new timeless !

Free sleeve !started today !!!

Roddy Mclean tattooer — Tue, 23 Apr 2013 22:31:20 +0000

Today I made the 1st sitting of the giveaway sleeve , as stated I got to do as I wanted, with the customer (James) having very little idea on my intentions, Trust is the hidden key to the best Tattoos , James has had a couple of small tattoos from me in the past so he was happy to see what I came up with…

The idea is based around Dissolution a vague theme in which I’ve been making drawings of dissolving images , this is just a sneak peek @ what the arm will look like

The skull wraps the arm in 360′

Thanks James ! You’ve won yourself a free tattoo!
