The freehand tattoo session time-lapse video showing the creation of a full back, open aesthetic, Chinese ink-brush tattoo artwork titled ‘A Moment Captured’. Completed over two sessions Joey used the hand painting composition (video here), as her primary influence throughout. Simply transferring any ‘stencil’ or pre-fabricated outline of artwork onto the body – as is most commonly done for all tattoos around the world – often insufficiently accounts for unique physiology, movements and structure. As such to truly have a tailored work of art the piece should be ‘freehanded’ on the body thereby ensuring perfect alignment. This further makes the process entirely unrepeatable, i.e. unable to be duplicated or copied. There are a wide range of shading details in the ink-brush that only become visible months after the tattoo session, once the ink has had time to settle and disperse. The watercolor artwork will take on a much more dynamic depth once the brush strokes have healed. These are unable to be fully captured in shots or videos of its application. Thank you again and a true pleasure working with you Michelle
