Deep Lotus Tattoo
By Conan Lea - Voluta Tattoo
This client wanted a masculine floral featuring the highly symbolic lotus blossom as the centerpiece, with some bamboo leaves and cherry blossom elements. He chose black and grey as his palette, told me he wanted a fully-wrapped half-sleeve, and then gave me free reign over his upper arm.
I did this piece in four six hour sessions and it is as smooth as I could possibly make it. I enjoy carefully manipulating edges so the artwork feels dimensional and unexpected from element to element. Because of this client's willingness, I achieved a multitude of different edges and dimensions, making this piece one of my favorites.

Three days of becoming a better artists, tattooers, and people! The Rock River Tattoo Art Expo will combine aspects of artist-focused professional development events with the style of a larger tattoo convention, open to the public. The two convention floors will be filled with artist and vendor booths, with the artists showcasing not only tattooing but work in other mediums as well. Some booths will feature live painting alongside the tattoo booths. There will be additional vendor booths in some of the hallways and auxiliary spaces along with a museum exhibit showcasing some important tattoo artifacts including some of local significance. Throughout the weekend there will be activity on the main stage including interviews, talks by high-profile speakers, a historical discussion, tattoo art critiques, and a daily showcase of work that was completed on the convention floor.
