No Stencil, No Drawing, just Ink to Skin: Carl Grace Freehands a Skull Tattoo

Tattoo artist Carl Grace takes a no fuss approach to this tattoo by tattooing straight onto his client’s skin, without drawing a design or creating a stencil to guide his hand. It takes courage, for both the tattoo artist and his client, to use a freehand tattoo technique. The client can’t be sure that the result will be exactly what they wanted, while the tattoo artist can’t ensure that the design will turn out the way it had been planned on paper. Sometimes freehand tattoos aren’t successful and the client has to wear an unwanted design for the rest of their life, but luckily, this video shows a success story. A tattoo of a beautiful girl and a fearsome skull emerge under Carl Grace’s skilful hand, giving the client a stunning black and grey tattoo to enjoy for ever more.

Visit Carl Grace on his website or Facebook to see examples of his work and to find contact details.
