Samoan Maori mixed tattoo for the shoulder

Hi,In my holiday I designed a new shoulder piece, with a mix of Samoan and Maori/Kirituhi inspired elements.The top of the tattoo has some nice Samoan arrowhead patterns and other detailed elements.I made a shading for this piece, which I normally don't, but I guess it looks good on this tatoo design.I used some really simple Maori koru pattern, to complement the detailed Samoan-style.This design is not a custom design, so you can order it on my website (nr. 147 in the Shoulder gallery), or right now by clicking the "Buy now" button. You will receive a high resolution image + a linedrawing/stencil for your tattoo artist.

Best regards, Mark Storminfo@storm3d.comwww.storm3d.com

Samoan inspired tattoo sleeve

Hi,Here's another project, a Samoan inspired design for the upper arm and shoulder.One of my customers wanted a Samoan-style tattoo, so only the fills and lines and no further meanings in it. He wanted it to be very detailed and symmetrical.My progressing sketches looked like this:And finally the end result:Ps. I'm working on an update of my website galleries, to add the latest designs to the galleries. There will be around 7 new tattoos available, one in a mixed maori/samoan style and 5 or 6 in a Maori inspired style with some nice realistic detailed feathers.I'll let you know when it's ready and where you can find these images.Kind regards, Mark Storm

Tribal tattoo wrapping around the forearm

Hi!As promised, here's another design projects I have been working on in the weeks behind.Forearm and leg tattoos (especially symmetrical designs) are my favourite pieces to draw. I really like the idea of a flowing design that is not too complicated, that gives a nice clean look. That is also why I use symmetry a lot.This design is for a customer from the UK, he wanted a complete forearm tattoo, wrapping around and having a seamless fit.You can see the tatoo sketches below:I started with the flowing koru curles and added a line of spear- or arrowheads in the centerline of the tattoo. Then I made some fills with lines and triangles and the 6 small curls bending towards the arrowheads. Finally I added a few stars.My customer liked some oldskool sharp tribal shapes, so in the second sketch you can see that I added it to the design:I get quite a large amount of requests for custom tattoos, so I have to pick and choose the design projects I like best. If you are interested in this kind of designs, for the forearm or lower leg, you can contact me by here.Till soon!Oohps, almost forgot to show you the final result :)Regards, Mark

Maori wood carving design for a spinning wheel

Hi there!A few months ago since my last post, really busy with renovating part of my house. It's finished now, so now I have more time to let you know what I'm doing and I will try to post a few projects each week.A month ago I received an e-mail from a customer who wanted me to decorate her spinning wheel with some nice maori inspired patterns, a really nice thing to do next to designing tattoos.It's done in the modern wood "carving" technique; the drawing will be put on it by a laser, burning it into the wood.Here's the original spinning wheel.I created 3 different designs in the same kirituhi style, one for the large wheel, one for the pedals and another one for the arm of the spinning wheel.Here are the sketches and some of the final designs that I did:I really enjoy doing these kind of projects, so if you want me to decorate something with my designs, just let me know!Any questions? Just let me know.Kind regards, Markinfo@storm3d.comwww.storm3d.com
