Default Hints Needed Please.

Could do with some help with this please.

I have been asked if I could Tattoo Da Vinchi's Virtruvian Man, but I'm a tad worried about the big ass circle around the outside. How the hell do you do such a big perfect circle on someone??

I have been looking at some Virtruvian Tattoos ion the interweb, and it seems a lot struggle with this circle.


He wants it A4 size on his ribs.

Any Tips appreciated...

I' pre-line and go back into it to make it the desired thickness. It's the ribs anyways......just tell your customer you ain't a copy machine and let him know what can happen.

Do the circle in small arcs, if you try and do big arcs you arm tends to pull in the arc to tight towards the end of the arc. My art teacher at school taught me to always keep my eyes on the stencil line abit in front of were your needles actually are in the skin to focus on were you are going not were are and your hand just follows were your eyes are ploting the line ahead to get smooth flowing lines.

I JUST did a Vitruvian woman on a guys back. I just went for it, on the circle, but I guess I would probably do what aivanne said, just run it thin and quick and then go back and take your time on it.
