Tattoo earrings

Tattoo design + reference below
(Click to view large)

I’m getting new tattoos at the end of April!

I’ve got the finger ring, the cuffs, now for the earrings: 2 words below each ear, running down my neck.

Manuela from Wildfire will be tattooing me, also my first time in South Africa as most of my previous work was done by this amazing lady in Belgium.

Looking forward to see the modifications to the base design too, will probably be simpler, but we also talked about symmetry.

Catch you in a month for an update!

PS: The calligraphy below is the reference for the tattoo, found on http://ministryoftype.co.uk/

The Ministry of Type

The Ministry of Type

Stunning typography blog by Aegir Hallmundur. He says:

The Ministry of Type is a weblog by me, Aegir Hallmundur, about type, typography, lettering, calligraphy and other related things that inspire me. I am a designer originally from the far north of England, now living and working in Brighton in the far south of England. I love hand-tracing and recreating old designs as vector artwork, and there are many examples of that in this site.

The Elastic Mind

I’m busy designing 2 tattoos for myself, and based them on this amazing piece of typograph Aegir mentioned on his blog:
from the Herb Lubalin Collection at Cooper Union

Simply stunning!

Another stunning treatment:
