My dads tattoo

Iris Hamer

My dads tattoo

OnderarmBlack and grey realism

This is the inner forearm of my dad. The sleeve has since been fully completed. The tones in this tattoo are a little different from the other tattoos in my portfolio, because this sleeve was done using grey ink. Normally, I create my tattoos with greywash: black ink diluted into several lighter shades to build softer tones. For this piece, I used black ink together with different shades of grey ink. It’s a technique I’d love to use more often in my work, so I’m incredibly grateful to my dad for being one of the first projects that allowed me to really get comfortable with it.
