Japanese Vol. 3 by Adam Machin represents the aesthetic progression to his own style of Japanese tattooing, with a strong reliance on the traditional irezumi foundations. Adam’s bold and expressive designs are easily scaled from small tattoos to sleeve, leg, or body suit compositions. Featuring many of the gods of Japanese folklore, this set provides an incredible toolkit to create tattoo designs with these figures articulated in a modern way. To further customize the creatures, the set comes with arm and leg variations that can be used with the Fujin, Raijin, or Oni stamps. The gods and creatures in this set are expressed in such a way that they convey the theme while also considering the conventions of the tattoo history they belong to.Japanese Vol. 3 also features tigers and dragons, two of the most popular subjects in Japanese tattooing with deep religious and cultural symbolism. In his set, Adam provides not only complete tiger and dragon designs, but also individual leg and head components so you can adjust each to fit your composition. These stylized heads and legs give you more options for placement, and also allow you to quickly try different poses or angles to see how composition and fit can be subtly changed for maximum effect.In this toolkit, Adam also provides you with other popular animals like frogs, toads, goldfish, and koi, elements like rope, waves, and fire stamps, as well as peaches and peonies to complete your tattoo design. Use the included background cloud and wave templates as a guide for stamp placement and further composition refinement.As with all of the sets in the Tattoo Smart Japanese collection, this set works well on its own, and becomes increasingly useful when paired with the other sets to increase the variety and depth of your Japanese digital tattoo design toolkit.Don't miss the complete Tattoo Smart Japanese collection including Volume 1, Volume 2, and Volume 4!
