Hey Folks!
My name’s Jasmine Floyd and I’m an illustrator from a tiny town in Shropshire, England. I’m studying illustration in the glorious city that is Liverpool and spend a lot of my time making strange yet wonderful artwork!
Most of my illustrations feature super bright and cheery colour pallets and people with heaps of traditional tattoos. There’s no fancy explanation as to why they're covered in tatt’s, it’s simply because I think tattoo’s make people look badass!
Although I have no tattoo’s myself (due to me being a massive baby when it comes to needles) I've always adored the aesthetic of old school tattoos and the meaning’s behind them.
THE ACTIVITY
On that note, I’ve designed a super cool downloadable print-out for you guys to get creative with! Simply print it out then pull out a pen or pencil and ink up these cheeky chappies!
WHAT TO DRAW?
Here’s a handy little list of some popular old school tattoo designs to help you along the way!
