One whole idea.
Built for the body.
I’m Sean Connolly at Rising Tide Tattoo in Canfield, Ohio. I design custom sleeves, back pieces and large tattoo projects as connected compositions, with the focal points and transitions planned around the body.

The design
Plan the whole.
Give it room.
A large project gives the design room to move. The main images, darker areas, transitions and open space need to work together across the arm, leg or back. I want the piece to read as one composition, with a clear direction and a strong focal point.
Portraits, animals, surreal ideas, cinematic imagery and horror can all be part of that conversation. A subject does not need to sit in a separate box. We can use the shape of the body to connect the elements and decide where detail will matter most.
If there is existing work to build around, send photos of the full area from several angles. Tell me whether you want one connected story or a set of related subjects, and which elements are essential. That information helps shape the overall plan.
