Rooster

After some months of work, Kevin’s backpiece is finally finished. This pictures are from the last sitting so you’ll find some healed areas and some fresh touch ups. By far, one of my most challenging tattoos. Starting and going through a backpiece project is always tricky and hard, specially for the owner! In this case, Kevin has proved that he’s an absolute beast and I’m very grateful for his energy and good vibes. It was also clear, from the beggining, how easy and direct his approach was to this tattoo. A big, powerful rooster in the back. No more, no less, no excuses. Straightforward tattoos such as this one often make the best choices.

This tattoo has been entirely done at my home, Eclipse Tattoo Barcelona. If you are willing to start your own big custom project, please, get in touch : david@davidtejero.com

Rooster and hawk

Finally! Some pictures of this two healed (with some recent touch ups) major projects I’ve been working on the past months. Raul and Lidia have endured several sittings with commitment and a tremendous sense of humor. For this and for their trust in my work, I’m more than grateful. Tattooing such large and long lasting tattoos is always a challenge and it always feels like climbing the highest of mountains. But, nevertheless, the result pays off and the knowledge extracted from this process is gonna be visible in further pieces.

As I’ve told many times in this blog and beyond, I would like to engage in similar ideas with birds, dragons and combined creatures all in large scale. It’s fun and they look powerful once they are finished. So! If you are willing to try, just send me a text to david@davidtejero.com and we we’ll talk about it. I always prefer to start and develop this tattoos at Eclipse Tattoo Barcelona, but as I travel around Europe as much as I can, it’s also an option to do different sittings between two or more countries.

Once again, thanks for following me here on this platform. More tattoos, illustrations and travel dates coming soon.

The Devil, some birds and other time animals.

The end of this crazy intense year marks the begining of some new stuff I’m working on. But! Do not forget the classics!! Goats and harpies are forever.

My special thanks in this post goes to Jose. His commitment and energy coming from so far to get this giant goat tattooed have been inspiring. I’m really happy with the result as it’s always a challenge to work this big. Also was really great to have a good understanding between us since minute one. He’s a fine tattoo collector and his body is filled already with some serious stuff. From tattooer to tattooer, hope you meet him in the future!

The rest of this fine pieces were done at Cobra Tattoos Madrid and Eclipse Tattoo Barcelona, my home. As you know, birds and harpies are always more than welcome! But in this crazy and uncertain times I’m trying to develop a new batch of work…time animals and time machines!

You’ll find some examples of them in my available designs section. This pair are the first time animals I’ve had the pleasure of tattooing.

I really can not wait to expand this line of work and create more for those interested in them. Don’t doubt in getting in touch!
As I’m mostly sure, this will be probably the last post of the year. So I wish you the best for the next one. I’ll be on the road again as soon as possible, hopefully doing some conventions in Europe in 2022. Who knows?!
Take care and thanks again for keeping an eye on my work.

Rooster

So! This is the first 2020 tattoo project. Done in two sittings on Javier who asked for a big rooster and put all the trust in the view I wanted to get for it. In the pictures, lines are healed and shading is fresh. I’m always up for this kind of extended bird tattoos that can go along with the anatomy in a better and more profitable way.

Don’t doubt to get in touch if you have in mind to get a tattoo like that, I always enjoy to work on this projects and I’m looking forward to do more of them in 2020. Arms, legs, frontpieces and backpieces too. It’s time to grow in size!
Thanks again for keeping an eye on my work.

The Rooster

Finally, one of my favourite projects it’s finished. This picture has been taken right after the last working session, so black must wait some months to settle and expand. This kind of tattoos are a real challenge so…I’m really happy to see the final result and learn good lessons to improve my approach to the next backpiece project. Don’t doubt to reach me if you have in mind some ideas that need this kind of large scale execution. I’ll be glad to work on them as much as in those medium size ones.

July is ending and I’m already booking some works for August. I know Barcelona is extremely hot in summer but if you dare, don’t doubt to visit us at Eclipse Tattoo Thanks again for visiting my blog and keeping and eye on my work.
