Betari Saraswati tattoo

I ‘m working on custom Indonesian tattoo design  for Indra Perkasa, a young Indonesian musician who currently lives and studies in Los Angeles.

It’s gonna be a very special tattoo for him from me. It can be just black and gray or maybe I will add just one extra color by my tattoo machines. Let me see if it necessary to mix the process with traditional hand pocking tattoo.

I’m working on such a long term work and long term plan for the future of traditional Indonesian tattoos right now.
