In this episode of Bondi Ink Tattoo Crew, titled "Not How It's Done," the talented crew of tattoo artists are faced with some challenging requests from their clients.
First up, artist Teneile has a client who wants a large tattoo covering his entire back. He has a specific design in mind, but Teneile realizes that the client's reference image is not high quality enough to work from. Undeterred, Teneile uses her artistic skills to recreate the image in a way that will work for the tattoo. However, the size of the tattoo and its location on the client's back prove to be a challenge for Teneile, and she must navigate some tricky spots in order to get the design just right.
Meanwhile, new artist Matty has a client who wants a tattoo of a butterfly on her lower back. The problem is, the client has clearly come in with a design that she found online, and the image is of a poor quality. Matty must delicately explain to the client that the design won't work as is, and that he will need to tweak it in order to make it look good as a tattoo. The client is initially resistant, but eventually comes around to Matty's suggestions.
Next up, artist Shauna has a client who wants a tattoo of her mother's handwriting, with the words "I love you" immortalized forever on her skin. The sentimental nature of the tattoo is not lost on Shauna, and she approaches the design with great care and attention to detail. She must be extremely precise in order to capture the unique qualities of the handwriting, and the emotional weight of the piece is palpable.
Finally, seasoned artist Leon has a client who wants an elaborate tattoo featuring a dragon, a lotus flower, and the client's face. Leon is excited about the challenge, but also a bit apprehensive, as the tattoo will take several hours to complete. Additionally, the client's facial features must be captured just right, or the tattoo will not look like him. Leon works meticulously, taking frequent breaks to assess his progress and ensure that everything is coming together in a cohesive manner.
