Tattoo Design Brief
Create a detailed, high-impact full sleeve black and grey tattoo design that extends from the upper arm down to the wrist, incorporating the existing dream catcher tattoo into the new artwork or fully covering it in a seamless way. The final design must blend all elements cohesively, creating a striking, realistic, and flowing composition.
Primary Design Focus:
The main focal point should be the image titled "Woman’s Face with Snakes".
This image should serve as the central piece to cover the existing dream catcher tattoo on the upper arm.
One of the snakes from this main piece should wrap organically down the arm, ending with its open mouth positioned prominently on the hand (similar to the reference image “Snake On Hand”).
Additional Elements for Incorporation:
These references should be incorporated into the sleeve design where possible, with smooth blending and realistic shading:
Eye on Hand – Can be placed on the hand, forearm, or as a hidden detail within the design to add depth.
Fractured Face – Could be integrated into the background or layered into the sleeve for a dramatic, textured effect.
Bull Chained Up – Could be positioned on the forearm or bicep area, representing strength and power, blending into the snakes and other elements.
Snake On Hand – Used as the inspiration for the snake head placement and pose.
Style & Aesthetic:
Hyper-realistic, dark, and dramatic style with fine detail, depth, and high contrast.
Black & grey preferred, but minimal selective color accents may be used if it enhances focal points (such as the eyes or certain details on the snakes).
Flow and movement are critical—design should wrap naturally around the arm without abrupt separations between elements.
Technical Considerations:
The design must effectively cover or transform the existing dream catcher tattoo so it is no longer visible or is integrated seamlessly.
Background shading, smoke effects, or texturing may be used to tie all elements together.
The inner arm should also be fully designed to complete the sleeve with consistent style and density.
Deliverables:
A full-arm sleeve design in high-resolution digital format, showing placement from upper arm to wrist.
Multiple angles (outer arm, inner arm, and full wrap mock-up) to ensure proper flow and coverage.
