Tattooed stag on leather

[k9trev]

Excellent stuff Trev, hard thing to get looking that good, must be harder with a needle on leather. All the comments reminded me of that artist who wants to be skinned after his death and his skin mounted in a gallery. Or this old story from a few years back... LINK

Keep it up mate.
GB.

Cheers GB took a long time to complete and a lot of skill to stop ink splatter which would ruin the whole thing .

Blimey! When i first saw it i thought crikey the blokes only gone and tattooed a dorito!!

Nah! Just a joshing with ya, that is lovely pal, wish i had a skill or a talent, that when i felt a little down or fed up i could channel my energy into something worthwhile.

I used to go and split a load of logs! But too bloomin tired for that now.

That is really nice mate, could see it poking out the top of a lairds tweed.

Too right fella but a whole different skill,set to accomplish

 

[Clouston98]

[HillBill]

Nice work Trev

 

[k9trev]

Thanks all it's nice to see some different people commenting on my works, it means a great deal to me .

That looks fantastic mate! Have you thought about tattooing a border for it? Lacing sounds good too, weaving a nice border with the lacing I think would set it off well too. Top notch work as always, I reckon when its sealed it would make a fantastic looking pouch flap. :You_Rock_

 

[k9trev]

Here's a pic of the leather coloured ,just the lacing to do

 

[Clouston98]

That looks great!

I'd worry with lacing you'll go too close to the stags nose. Although not sure of scale.
