Kelly Doty- Bad Ass Tattoo Artist

More about Kelly Doty- Bad Ass Tattoo Artist

Kelly Doty has become one of my absolute favorite tattooers! She blends color like a damn master & her style is very similar to mine- though she's much better at it than I am...haha! Kelly is on instagram under @kellydotylovessoup if you'd like to see more of her work. Oh- and she's also a hilarious sarcastic bastardperson. She's awesome!

I'm designing a New School style zombie tattoo to cover up my first practice lines I did on my right thigh. Small area to cover, but I'm cheating by covering the lines with an empty skull socket...haha!

I will be using my own drawing, but I'm using Kelly's designs as inspiration for shading, color and some sense of perspective. I suck at organic perspective...haha! Gimme straight lines & I can make a vanishing point. Gimme organic shapes and...nope. I need more practice doing organic perspective.

I'll only be tattooing the outline of whatever I come up with on myslef. I won't come back in to color & shade until I've practiced those techniques more on fake skin. I'll post the drawing when I finish it...wheee!

This lovely style was introduced by Vincent. Thanks, Vincent!
