This video shows the tattooing process Brett Hayes uses to draw on the background, set up the tattoo machines, outline the design and shade (a section of) the background. When finished, this section of work will complete the inner part of the clients thigh piece, (with a Hanya and Japanese water design) as well as follow on from the existing Koi and Japanese water that Brett did earlier in the year.

Brett is a Sydney based tattoo artist who specialises in beautiful Japanese style tattoos. For more information please go to: www.bretthayes.com.au
