whoah, this must’ve taken a while
Reminds me of Nick Baxter’s pixel flowers: http://www.nickbaxter.com/tattoos/tattoos_1634.html
wow that rules so much
nick baxters way better
Looks more like a cross stitching pattern to me.
I wish the outline wasn’t as black as it was.. Maybe grey like the insides?
Interesting idea, but I really don’t like it. There isn’t enough detail and the color isn’t very good.
don’t like it.
VOMIT i dont believe there is supposed to be detail, most pixelated pictures ive seen dont have much detail.
yeah, I agree with Lexi, I thought it was cross -stitch
I think it’s really pretty 🙂
however, I’d be interested to see it without the black outline.
gorgeous nonetheless!
Amazing idea. I’m in love with this.
Looks like a cross-stitch pattern to me. Interesting idea..
agreed #5 & #10
Yeah, I agree with a few above… looks like a cross-stitching pattern to me. =/
def not pixellated, def cross stiched
i dont even think it looks cross-stitched, i think it looks a lot more like a needle-point pattern….
yeah, it looks like the pattern to a cross-stitch or needlepoint, not the actual stitching. It’s cool though.
I agree with #6, I’m not really digging the black outline. Would have looked better without an outline at all imo.
But nice work nonetheless
I agree with the cross-stitchers.
On that note, ADORE craft-related tattoos, there have been a few the fabulous sewing sleeves and chest pieces on mod blog in the past.
nice, I love this kind of stuff
I like it. And I thought of cross-stitch as well.
i don’t think the nick baaxter one is necessarily better, just it has part of it non-pixelated and it is good detail in that part
also i agree that it looks like cross stitch, but i always thought cross stitch looks like pixelation. perhaps though as others said it would be better w/o black outlines – although i think they add a distinct tattoo angle to the whole pixelation art concept
I too thought it looked like a cross stitch patter. I do like the black outline though, I like that it has such a defined edge.
I like it, but I think I would of liked it more if it wasnt pixelated.
wow, thought i needed to put my glasses on for a second there:) lol really cool pixelated tattoo
It is the grid that makes it look more like a cross stitch pattern and less like pixel art, each pixel of colour needs to touch, that is how the optical effect of all the blocks of colour ‘blurring’ into each other to look like a picture is achieved. The grid prevents that, so in some ways this fails as pixel art, but is still not an unpleasing design over all.
yeah i immediately6 though cross-stitch
Arrechisimo.
Not to nerd out of anything, but I think that this tattoo might not be pixellated–it might actually be an embroidery pattern. (For cross stitch! Yes, I did this for a while; yes I like books and tea.)
Melissa and others – I deleted the text file that came with this tattoo when I posted it, I’m 90% sure it mentioned pixellation but you may well be right!
*jumps on the “it looks like a cross-stitch/needlepoint/other type of gridded needlework pattern” bandwagon*
Larger view? That only makes the pixelation worse!
<3
oh arm chair quarterbacks…. did you realize that most tattoo works needs a black outline to help define the shapes? anyone who actually works in the industry and not just criticizes from their keyboards and jobs at home depot has seen no outline work up close and can attest to how it doesn’t hold up well over time. but hey what do i know?
hey it actually did this tattoo…. its based on a cross-stitch design. its not supposed to be pixelated so im sorry if i didnt pull that off, because it wasnt supposed to look like that in the first place and trevor is right…. black outlines are what keeps tattoos looking good over time ….he does know
oh and thank you for the good comments and criticism its good to hear from both sides
love!
