I managed to take some photos of this even if it´s still a little bit "shiny" and not totally healed.
I´ll add some more photos to the gallery later when it´s totally finished, bearing in mind that the guy wants to do a background and continue with the "roots" that´s attached to the wrists.

Inspired from a drawing by Horiyoshi III (from his book "100 demons") which I tweaked a bit, added a different background and so on, came this tattoo which I did around 2001-2002.

I made this tattoo on a Pantera fan from a poster I think it was, in the year 2001. I added the background and if I´m not totally mistaken I also touched it up a bit with some more "tattooable" scales.

The Fire Salamander is probably the most well-known salamander species in Europe. It is black with yellow spots or stripes to a varying degree; some specimens can be nearly completely black while on others the yellow is dominant. Shades of red and orange may sometimes appear, either replacing or mixing with the yellow according to subspecies. Fire Salamanders can have a very long lifespan. In the German natural history museum of Alexander Koenig a salamander lived more than 50 years. (wikipedia)

This is a tattoo that was already Started and finished(?).
The guy was not satisfied with the result and to be honest it wasn´t that well made (no offense), so he came to me an wanted a touch up.
I could have showed the before-shot so you could compare, but then again, it´s not a cover-up and it wasn´t like horrible so..
. It´s still not finished but it soon will be and then I´ll upload the end result.
From 2005-2006 something.

From 2001.
I´ve categorized this one as a Japanese tattoo because it has kind of a Japanese theme
(the bonsai and its "brushed" lines and the clouds which could at least be applied to a traditional Japanese tattoo), but obviously it´s not a Japanese tattoo in its strict sense.

This guy would be the biggest Yngwie fan you could ever imagine.
Covering your entire back with an album cover suggest you are.
He even bought me tickets to see the great diva at Berns salonger in Stockholm, and I went of course to see the guy.
From 2003.
As you can see, the photo is from before we finished the tattoo.

I made this one on a guy that wanted a kind of a traditional lion (whatever non-modern style).
I asked him about that and we came up together with the idea to do a realistic lion. He brought me a picture and I messed around with it...

It´s done on 2 different sheets of paper but I morphed them together. I can´t really decide which way I want it so I´ll just let you decide.

I made these Orchids 2005. The whole thing about putting in white as the main color and the fineline style did not quite match her habit of being in the sun that much, so the tattoo had to be madeover with more shadings and bolder lines. Sad to say I dont have any good photo of the end result, but as soon as I do, I will upload it.

I did this I think in 2002 when I worked at Flash Fighters, Stockholm (one of the studios I've worked in were I did many of the other tattoos here).
He wanted his tattoo of his mic as realistic as possible.

Also done with watercolor.
Koi are ornamental domesticated varieties of the common carp Cyprinus carpio, originated from China and widely spread in Japan. They are very closely related to goldfish, and in fact the style of breeding and ornamentation has become very similar, probably through the efforts of Japanese breeders to emulate goldfish, but they are not goldfish.
The word "koi" comes from Japanese. The original Japanese word koi simply means "carp," including both the dull grey fish and the brightly colored varieties. Nishikigoi, "brocaded carp", is a more specific term for the ornamental carp. (Wikipedia)

I made this tattoo on a southafrican guy the fall 2006. I tried the realistic approach with the shading of the scales "inverted" as opposed to the more common way to make them if you color the scales one by one. I thought, before meeting the guy in person that it was supposed to be bigger all the way down to the elbow but I was mistaken so we did the same tattoo, only smaller.
It worked out just fine but all of us like them as big as possible dont we.

This girl was seriously into getting heavily tattooed just when I decided to move. I never got the opportunity to continue my work on her I´m sad to say. Still like the parts I did manage to do though. From 2002-2003.

The humpback angler, Melanocetus johnsonii, is a black seadevil of the family Melanocetidae, found in tropical to temperate parts of all oceans at depths of up to 2,000 m. Its length is up to 3 cm for males and up to 20 cm for females.
Female humpback anglers have an enormous head dominated by a cavernous mouth full of long slender teeth that can fold backwards when prey is being swallowed. The belly is distensible and this, along with the huge gape of the mouth, allows them to swallow fishes up to twice their own length. Their eyes are small and covered by a thin layer of skin, and between them arises a large lure which is actually a modified first dorsal fin ray. (Wikipedia)

This is a drawing which I did 2006. I actually did it as a tattoo (cover-up), but never had the chance to take any photos of it. It´s actually a quicky (2 hours) which you will notice on the scales.

The Boris Vallejo part of this tattoo already existed when I took over but it was in serious need of a touch-up. We started with that and continued later with the stuff around the mermaids.

I made this back in 2001. The barrel is bent a bit because of the angle from which the photo is taken, combined with the muscle that peaks at the tip of the pipe.
