Berlin Tattoos
drypoint or etching means these are from an already-existing or planned edition of etching prints, and monoprint means it exists as a single print, so you would have to be okay with the fact that they exist in the world in another form /


[straw bulls] / minimum 5” long - etching. These would look good paired with another longer floating ‘anchor’ above them as a larger compositio


[beewhispering] / 5.25” tall minimum - monoprint



[stay safe] - based on a bread from the book “350 сортов хлебобулочных изделий” / minimum 6.5” long


scaled so fish are minimum 3.5” long - this would fit so nice on a stomach!

minimum 3” tall


[strong or brave: before falling on the wolf] / minimum 6.5” wide



[sand in the mouth] / minimum 3.5” tall - monoprint

[fish and wheat vi] - scaled so fish are minimum 3.5” tall






[strikha ii] - minimum 4” tall - monoprint




minimum 6” long


on left [babybaby] / minimum 6” tall

on right [teethkeep] / minimum 4.5” tall


scaled so fish is minimum 4” long



[wings molly found] / minimum 8” long


[i’m late but with flowers] / minimum 2.5” from end to end, but 3.5” min preferred



[paper flowers] / scaled so the longest line is minimum 4.5”

 
[two chickens, enough ! ii] / - 5” wide for bottom one


[double angels] / 3” wide minimum - also, can be tattooed separately

[drift] / 5” tall minimum each


[three ribbons] / scaled so that the smallest one is 4.5” minimum


on left [we wintered] / 4.5” tall min

on right [we didn’t sing] / 3.5” across min

[getting our domovyk back ! - drypoint] / scaled so about 1.5” -2” min each for each husk




on left - [lamb cake (chocolate) - drypoint] / minimum 6.5” across

on right - [lamb cake (vanilla) - drypoint] / minimum 6.5” across



[bulls, options] / minimum 4” from nose to top of head for each - happy to tattoo separately, but i’m going to be more interested in incorporating these as part of a composition, with botanicals or ribbons or shadows etc., not just the bull head alone 


[daisy chain shadow i] / minimum 5.5” from end to end


[paper wings] / scaled so the longer one is minimum 8”



[bag of soil] / 7” minimum from longest points, though I could take down the inner detail for a bit smaller.



[demon worm - drypoint] - minimum 5.5”


[pomegranate buds] / minimum 1” tall for each bud - can be outline only (top) or with shading (bottom)

[daisy chain shadow ii] / scaled so the longer daisy is minimum 3”

[pomegranate and its shadow - drypoint] / minimum 5.5” from longest points


[clay crown - drypoint] / minimum 4.5” from its longest points


[metal adornments] / minimum 7” across, we can play with how they interact, or you can have just one


[crown of thorns and its shadow] / scaled so the branch is minimum 8” long - this is a big piece! think back


[holding] / minimum 9.5”


[wait all night in the grass with you] / minimum 2” across for each, can be tighter linework, or we can size up a bit and I can work with a mag for the texture shown



[cleanness] / each ribbons minimum 4.5” long, each of the cactus cross sections about 1” minimum


on left [welcome] / 3.5” from longest points

on right [taken care of so well] / minimum 4.5” long

[dreaming of water up to my waist again] / minimum 6” long

[twins] - 5.5” from longest points - i’d be interested in doing one of them a lighter greyscale, or doing them in a colours


[three fish - drypoint] / scaled so each fish is 3”

[fish and wheat ii - drypoint] / minimum scaled so the wheat line is 2” across

[rope from the ground this summer] / scaled so the diagonal line from the upper left to the bottom right is a minimum of 5.5”

on left [everydayness] / probably minimum 6.5” from top to bottom of design

on right [like blowing out a candle] / minimum 4.5” lengthwise / curious how this would look paired with something from ‘available - composition parts’, like a single blossom element floating a bit above each of the points where the ribbon doubles back?



[paper garbage] / bigger is better for those details, at leeeaaast 7.5” end to end


[fence repaired during the night ii] / 8” min, but willing to shorten the length of the unknotted part
[fringe detail from a western shirt, drawn with permission from @shopfromthepast] / 6” min

[scaled lambs] / this one need to be bigger! lamb on left at least 4” from bum to forehead. I’d love this as an upper backpiece, perhaps with an overlapping arch connecting them visually above of some dried flower bits? v open to imaginings with this one and I may wait until I get a placement or additional composition idea i’m excited about for it.
