Rooster

After some months of work, Kevin’s backpiece is finally finished. This pictures are from the last sitting so you’ll find some healed areas and some fresh touch ups. By far, one of my most challenging tattoos. Starting and going through a backpiece project is always tricky and hard, specially for the owner! In this case, Kevin has proved that he’s an absolute beast and I’m very grateful for his energy and good vibes. It was also clear, from the beggining, how easy and direct his approach was to this tattoo. A big, powerful rooster in the back. No more, no less, no excuses. Straightforward tattoos such as this one often make the best choices.

This tattoo has been entirely done at my home, Eclipse Tattoo Barcelona. If you are willing to start your own big custom project, please, get in touch : david@davidtejero.com

La gripe del Barón de Bolinaggi y sus momentos híbridos

Dos nuevas ilustraciones que se suman al bigcartel de Proyecto Eclipse para su venta este mismo mes. He intentado no perder la soltura de las ilustraciones anteriores y trabajar directamente con la plumilla, sin demasiada preparación previa de lápiz. Es realmente curioso ver el resultado en directo y trabajar el proceso dejando fluir todas esas conexiones inesperadas. Espero que os gusten.

Muchas gracias.

El barón de Bolinaggi y más ojos

Cuatro nuevas ilustraciones a tinta, siguiendo las líneas de la anterior tirada y siempre con la idea de no programar mucho el resultado.

Todos estos originales están en venta a través de mi tienda online y la de Eclipse Tattoo Barcelona. No dudes en preguntar si tienes alguna duda o si quieres comprarla en persona en el estudio. En breve, nueva tirada.

Muchas gracias.

Rooster and hawk

Finally! Some pictures of this two healed (with some recent touch ups) major projects I’ve been working on the past months. Raul and Lidia have endured several sittings with commitment and a tremendous sense of humor. For this and for their trust in my work, I’m more than grateful. Tattooing such large and long lasting tattoos is always a challenge and it always feels like climbing the highest of mountains. But, nevertheless, the result pays off and the knowledge extracted from this process is gonna be visible in further pieces.

As I’ve told many times in this blog and beyond, I would like to engage in similar ideas with birds, dragons and combined creatures all in large scale. It’s fun and they look powerful once they are finished. So! If you are willing to try, just send me a text to david@davidtejero.com and we we’ll talk about it. I always prefer to start and develop this tattoos at Eclipse Tattoo Barcelona, but as I travel around Europe as much as I can, it’s also an option to do different sittings between two or more countries.

Once again, thanks for following me here on this platform. More tattoos, illustrations and travel dates coming soon.

The eyes

The eyes! Empecé con uno y el resto vino solo. Un poco más de exploración usando texturas y partes de bichos dragonianos y avianos. Un poco más de contención que con la anterior serie de dragones, pero experimentando siempre con la ilustración directa sin dibujo previo. Espero poder ampliar esta serie en un formato mayor muy en breve, así que no te despegues del blog si quieres ser de los primeros en llevarte uno.

Esta nueva serie de cuatro ilustraciones está disponible desde ya mismo en mi tienda online. Originales de 20 x 20 cm hechos con plumilla y tinta sobre papel arches de 300gr. Si te quieres hacer con uno, no tardes que vuelan.

Muchas gracias.

Wings, skulls and a time animal

Second post of the year, a little bit late as always! This is a compilation of my favourite works done between Eclipse Tattoo Barcelona, Druids Tattoo Cork and Unity Tattoo Granada in february and march. I did a crazy amount of feathers and claws! You know I’m grateful for it, don’t hesitate in asking for more. But, I also had the chance to explore other ideas and return to some old ones. Skull and bones, demons with bat wings, heraldic figures and a crazy free one eyed time animal. I had the best of times tattooing all of them.

And now, a jackpot of wings, helmets and devils. I’ve been back at Unity Tattoo Granada after many years. Three days of intense work and a lot of fun were enough to deliver this three pieces.

So! Not in order but with all my energy, a deep thanks to Ana, Jose, Alberto, Javi, Séan, Jorge, Hector and Pau for your commitment and for choosing me.
Now it’s time to focus in Barcelona a little bit and start planning future tattoo trips. Berlin, Copenhagen, Zurich…coming soon? We’ll see!

Last 2023 tattoos and first tattoo trips of 2024

This post comes a little bit late but those last 2023 tattoos, done in Paris at Matière Noire, are worthy to show. As always, my visits to this city are great and I really hope to be back this year. I also had the chance to finish Alix Nonne legs too with this pair of harpy roosters.

I said it before and I say it again, thank you very much Alix for your trust and commitment to finish your harpy sisters in a record time. You are one of a kind. Please, go and check her work as she is a very promising young tattooer in the dark scene. You’ll not be disappointed.

So, as 2023 was filled with travels and new tattoo studio discoveries around Europe, let’s start 2024 with some new dates. In february I’m visiting Ireland for the first time and I’ll be working alongside some crazy talented spaniards at their new studio in Cork. If you want to get tattooed there, don’t doubt it and text me as soon as possible. In march, I’m back, after many years of absence, to one of my favourite cities around: Granada. One more time, like in the old days, you’ll find me working at Unity Tattoo. Agenda is busy already but I still have time for small or medium tattoos. And last, but not least, I’m opening my agenda in Berlin again. Many of my german clients have been asking when I’m coming back to Germany and where, and this is why this waiting list is opened now. As soon as I have enough appointments I’ll be back to Das Kabinett in Berlin and dates will be announced. So please, if you want to get tattooed there and you have availability, please send me an e-mail and we will work it out.
