In addition to conventional artwork, digital painting and 3D modelling, The Artist has also accepted commissions to design some cool tattoos ~ which he calls ‘dermagraphics’. He finds it most rewarding when someone likes his work enough to have it indelibly inked upon their body ~ a most exquisite canvas. (I’d never thought of it like that, until he said it.)
VOS #18 INK
These Mucha-esque flowers were created to cover up old tattoos, with which the owners were no longer happy. They’re happy now!
This cyber/cyborg tattoo had to be very carefully worked out, so that the precise detail remained true, when it was rendered on the inside of the client’s arm. Martin watched the tattooing process ~ his vision taking shape, exactly as he planned. As a result of his thorough research and attention to detail, the piston at the top centre of the design actually moves up and down, as the arm is flexed. Amazing!
Ironically, having observed how much pain his clients have to suffer for his art, The Artist has no desire to get inked himself!

I have never ever even considered having a tattoo….I will pass on this one!
I don’t blame you, Granny!
There’s no limits to his talents Jacqueline.
Well, he can’t artex, Susan or, strangely, frame a picture! But I agree he is talented in many different media. Thank you
oh, I will not tell my daughter – she of the 11 tattoos – that I know someone who designs them!
That made me laugh, Joss ~ but if he did design one for her, you know that it would be beautiful!
definitely. I just may have to tell her, after all.
Much nicer than the usual tattoos!
Thank you, Gilly, there are some shocking examples around!
These are beautiful drawings.
Thank you , Elizabeth ~ they are very cool!
The flowers are nice but the cyber-bionic one, WOW! What a neat tattoo to have.
If he learned how to use the tat gun and got licensed, I bet he could make quite a bit of money. That really is one of the highest compliments, to have your art on someone else’s body…forever. Cool stuff!
Love the second one!
