Tattoo

I have recently been asked to design a tattoo for a friend. It really is an honor, but also a pressure. Something that will forever be on her body. I've tried to design a tattoo for someone before, but they decided to go in a different direction... so here are some inspiration photos for the design. Whenever I create an artwork I always find as much imagery as possible to look onto. I tend not to copy the composition or anything, but the inspiration is there. I can use my favorite parts of each piece, like the lighting or color. This allows it to be my own, but I can see back to where my thoughts came from.

Watermark

I found a site that showed how to create a watermark style tee.
I am hoping that I can use this technique for a printmaking project. However, I am concerned, if there are raised areas I am not sure if the screen will print on top evenly. I was hoping to write words in glue, stain the paper, then on top print juxtaposed words and images. We will see how the exploration goes.
