Tattoo Sketch/Theatre Masks


My sister Jessica wanted me to draw the happy and sad theatre masks for a new tattoo she wants to get. Which I'm against, because she's too young, and I feel weird about my work being on someone's skin forever, but being that I know she'll do it anyway I figured the least I can do is give her something solid to bring to the tattoo artist, so here it is, let me know what you think, or what you think about tattoos or whatever.

Looks tight man, not the traditional "Motley Crue" looking faces which is good. I have always been a fan or tatoos and original depiction of classic art. Maybe ask her to get a Henna tat of it first, kinda like a test-run. See if it's something she will truely enjoy....FOREVER!

That does look pretty sweet, but im not sure I'd have it as a tattoo.

Ethan/Big Winters. Thanks, I really appreciate you guys taking the time to check out my work and comment on it. I doubt my sis will get a Henna tatty, she kind of lives in the moment, but at least it came from me and not "the wall".

No probs Swands, even though its the first time Ive posted, I do visit your blog a fair bit,its even on my bookmarks. I love your art, and I probably be buying them 'When They All Fell' EP's, it sounds like perfect music to listen to when your angry (lol)

Thanks BW, it's really appreciated, when I started this blog I never thought I'd be in someone's bookmarks! Awesome.

Hi! I'm Silvia and I'm Italian..first, sorry for my English!
It was a long time that I'm searching a draw like this for my tattoo.
The sad mask is very amazing and I love it.
But I'm not convinced about the happy mask. Have you other ideas for it?
Thanks for you attention and I hope that you try to help me :)

Thanks for these last comments, I know its a few year later, but I never saw these till just now--if you're crazy enough to put one of my drawings on your body--go for it, and if you do, please send me a photo so I can post it here.

Silvia, you can certainly drop me a line and I can work on something for you.
