Something for the weekend 2

This week I wanted to share some of the 'old school' tattoos I've done over the years. It's not a style I work in that much these days as I prefer the larger scale of Japanese tattoos, coupled with a love of Japanese culture in general.
However as I get older, western tattooing is taking on more importance to me as a part of the tradition I'm proud to be part of.
With that in mind on returning to some classic western tattoo motifs and plan on producing a few aceo' and paintings exploring the imagery with a fresh set of eyes.

Hope you enjoy the images below and keep your eyes peeled for artwork of a different flavour.
