Samoan Maori shoulder tattoo design

Hi,<br /><br /><br /><br />Here's the 3rd design of my latest sketches in a <a href="http://storm3d.blogspot.com/search/label/samoan%20for%20sale">Samoan inspired tattoo set</a>. This design has some influences from the Maori style, but is mainly filled with Samoan patterns.<br /><br /><br /><br />I started with a pencil and roughly sketched the outer lines, then traced some tribal patterns:<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQR4ZlyoQNjCOnMHeBnzd84VdFd8M1vJs4J2UQzyf-A2krK37o6bIrcZ9fbZxMqLv6sH-uAaAOvx5vEIZTZMLMXxw0u72fRP1K11HwhupoVYO9cQm_-FZzruCZuJlDeFC3pjj6sV75Zpo/s1600/Samoan-tattoo-drawings-and-pencil-sketch.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="samoan tattoo drawings and pencil sketches" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5639869783425574114" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQR4ZlyoQNjCOnMHeBnzd84VdFd8M1vJs4J2UQzyf-A2krK37o6bIrcZ9fbZxMqLv6sH-uAaAOvx5vEIZTZMLMXxw0u72fRP1K11HwhupoVYO9cQm_-FZzruCZuJlDeFC3pjj6sV75Zpo/s320/Samoan-tattoo-drawings-and-pencil-sketch.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 202px; height: 320px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVfn_RWOfRxiB1C3WCAnMZX0o5I1cF5nBHV2q5Yk8v56H_qBE-3OeZTHXaTmFlFcPLlRsme7MqLzLBGTI1mtKOwNab-ax8wMZ0LbSMXI3cbXY3_4OJi0Ov_ETXXSPYjAlJpOd2mnnwEUA/s1600/samoan-designs-download-for-free-shoulder.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="samoan designs download for free shoulder images" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5639869917269648274" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVfn_RWOfRxiB1C3WCAnMZX0o5I1cF5nBHV2q5Yk8v56H_qBE-3OeZTHXaTmFlFcPLlRsme7MqLzLBGTI1mtKOwNab-ax8wMZ0LbSMXI3cbXY3_4OJi0Ov_ETXXSPYjAlJpOd2mnnwEUA/s320/samoan-designs-download-for-free-shoulder.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 230px; height: 320px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />For these symmetrical Samoan designs it's always a bit of a surprise how the final design will look. I only draw half the design and then mirror it in Photoshop. This seems easy, but it quity tricky to design the patterns in such a way that it doesn't have an obvious vertical line in the center.<br /><br /><br /><br />Here's a picture of half the design finished:<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf1REP_8RUC5G417Kw6Usok1szGUhNgnEV2aohqH9bnACxE7vnH_O6kxlU6MfWqZCykBH3ziiGWoO4BHeOBFGpOxD9HRClFeK95qzoipmLc43-TMxP6Dyb0OfpYgZx2_deT6g5a4Az7BE/s1600/symmetrical-shoulder-tattoos-tribal-maori-samoan-style.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5639871493956511826" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf1REP_8RUC5G417Kw6Usok1szGUhNgnEV2aohqH9bnACxE7vnH_O6kxlU6MfWqZCykBH3ziiGWoO4BHeOBFGpOxD9HRClFeK95qzoipmLc43-TMxP6Dyb0OfpYgZx2_deT6g5a4Az7BE/s320/symmetrical-shoulder-tattoos-tribal-maori-samoan-style.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 227px; height: 320px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />You can order the finished high resolution design right now, by simply clicking the "Buy now" button.

The tatoo wraps around the upper leg, just above the knee.<br />It has some Samoan and polynesian elements, but mainly consists of Koru tribal designs, filled with small detailed shapes.<br /><br />First I made a basic layout with flowing curves and added some rows of arrowheads:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk1fgYm-SFW8yFflsbOQIhvZYKYIm_hriUKILEWOFZ_uAtDm15Q9Tv3o1-amc6dSgxNoXKnSXyO0-x1sZIrX9lznzmw2zHQW5n_cKT-y5gAxY89NNALkWttjFJZAJ8r6baVS2nWGTmzxs/s1600/maori-samoan-kneeband-tattoo-sketches-design.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="maori samoan kneeband tattoo sketches design" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607959893321019234" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhk1fgYm-SFW8yFflsbOQIhvZYKYIm_hriUKILEWOFZ_uAtDm15Q9Tv3o1-amc6dSgxNoXKnSXyO0-x1sZIrX9lznzmw2zHQW5n_cKT-y5gAxY89NNALkWttjFJZAJ8r6baVS2nWGTmzxs/s400/maori-samoan-kneeband-tattoo-sketches-design.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 122px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Then I filled the tattoo with polynesian and samoan elements, like triangles, waves and lines:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNAA1EwdawVGyc0y8CbnXEbkeWxm1_WlXLtqfajgJrDPmz-75TetthOVJVHZg29I2ohxMwAq-lqrygXz6BXsp9U4CMkZauAFSCtVzfxZlLQ0on6VG2RoGYtUGI2ALzmnxIIjhFMqXmR7Q/s1600/knee-tattoo-band-around-leg-pencil-drawings.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="knee tattoo band around leg pencil drawings" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5607959896709108530" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNAA1EwdawVGyc0y8CbnXEbkeWxm1_WlXLtqfajgJrDPmz-75TetthOVJVHZg29I2ohxMwAq-lqrygXz6BXsp9U4CMkZauAFSCtVzfxZlLQ0on6VG2RoGYtUGI2ALzmnxIIjhFMqXmR7Q/s400/knee-tattoo-band-around-leg-pencil-drawings.jpg" style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 122px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />My customer approved the design, so I could trace it and optimize the high resolution tattoo in Photoshop.

Shoulder blade tattoo maori samoan style

Hi,<br /><br />It has been a while, but I just finished a nice tattoo piece. It's a design for the shoulderblade and back.<br />My customer wanted to cover quite some skin, with nice Maori Kirituhi shapes and some Samoan patterns.<br /><br />First I made a template from the measurements I received, and started sketching:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJr4lALYh_22bLpDuPC7A8urjvExuh9Sjgno9it4uDx-Cj1JQVx48CF84XdH1TIH5jpcUFYku_AEgL6Rq_mPbHfQFzzb4I5mSxX2DqLxYSwvsh7vP0uUcsWR6zmeluY14OwynuvNrCeBM/s1600/maori-outlines-art-tattoo-sketch-designer-online.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="maori outlines art tattoo sketch designer online" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574974361204349746" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJr4lALYh_22bLpDuPC7A8urjvExuh9Sjgno9it4uDx-Cj1JQVx48CF84XdH1TIH5jpcUFYku_AEgL6Rq_mPbHfQFzzb4I5mSxX2DqLxYSwvsh7vP0uUcsWR6zmeluY14OwynuvNrCeBM/s320/maori-outlines-art-tattoo-sketch-designer-online.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 194px;" /></a>I really enjoy to make the first basic koru shapes, this gives the tattoo a nice flow and "cuts" the large template into smaller pieces that can be filled with other intricate patterns, like triangles, spearheads and repetitive lines.<br /><br /><br />Once the basic layout is set, I move on to the next fase.<br /><br /><br /><br />My client asked for some Samoan patterns, which are mainly formed by even lines filled with very detailed shapes (upper left side of the tatoo):<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSZmKGCx2abO2ceh6KBKVVrqKEoxJq40APidXLytWhpCOc3qXNZoKcoOt6P2ITlXZsXNWdRmkapMdX88kILNxfE-9px1WvIECkvG6vc88hxj34ssKw3IfiptqFStTQuCz0FcWttAXmIL8/s1600/samoan-mauri-shoulder-back-tattoo-flash-for-sale.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="samoan mauri shoulder back tattoo flash" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574974357797450450" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSZmKGCx2abO2ceh6KBKVVrqKEoxJq40APidXLytWhpCOc3qXNZoKcoOt6P2ITlXZsXNWdRmkapMdX88kILNxfE-9px1WvIECkvG6vc88hxj34ssKw3IfiptqFStTQuCz0FcWttAXmIL8/s320/samoan-mauri-shoulder-back-tattoo-flash-for-sale.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 218px; height: 320px;" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />In the centre of the pencil sketch I drew a row of arrowheads and triangles, but I removed it later as you can see in the completed sketch:<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA9oVLF7reodTrzqKlv9t-VEtkRBGDbdWlsC6xfYBaHInaaCl54gL7JFAj2gnGvoc7Ai_RSHwb2x8KPriZjtf88RC770NT8jfd9wwD8vDGh5e5fdtURslbHjd690L64Yz-NA8pcik3iRM/s1600/shoulderblade-maori-tattoos-sketch-custom-design.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="shoulderblade maori sketch custom tattoo designs" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574976388394161858" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgA9oVLF7reodTrzqKlv9t-VEtkRBGDbdWlsC6xfYBaHInaaCl54gL7JFAj2gnGvoc7Ai_RSHwb2x8KPriZjtf88RC770NT8jfd9wwD8vDGh5e5fdtURslbHjd690L64Yz-NA8pcik3iRM/s320/shoulderblade-maori-tattoos-sketch-custom-design.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 220px; height: 320px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxRJS3JM-U2OyKPfp7XFYCWJlAA1T3iZJUdYd4J3Vn_AGBNCS8RYN9eyea4ve4vqYKLyxt7MRPf7svCzSfkJ6eMdZepXW7jCumxUTbKV5Zsb6yDS6TKw-6YHaUrH0fVdrV9akK4l46dHM/s1600/free-maori-flash-designs-downloads.jpg"><img alt="free maori flash designs download" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5574976392092479522" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxRJS3JM-U2OyKPfp7XFYCWJlAA1T3iZJUdYd4J3Vn_AGBNCS8RYN9eyea4ve4vqYKLyxt7MRPf7svCzSfkJ6eMdZepXW7jCumxUTbKV5Zsb6yDS6TKw-6YHaUrH0fVdrV9akK4l46dHM/s320/free-maori-flash-designs-downloads.jpg" style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 211px; height: 320px;" /></a>The final high resolution image was traced with a black felt-tip marker and scanned.<br /><br />After optimizing it and creating a linedrawing I sent it to my customer.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Kind regards, Mark Storm<br />info@storm3d.com<br />www.storm3d.com
