Originally a piece of flash from off the wall. Changed it so that the "tribal" black was done in the burn effect and so that the knot has its own drop shadow, hopefully this makes it appear to be floating above the brand. I thought this would look cooler than just straight solid black, let me know what you think. j

Water down the shading on the outside to blend with the skin better.Also tighten the shading up to the White highlight better.

This is great. I'm no expert on tattoos (only have 1 so far and it's black) but I find its hard to make tribals look good with colour (or better than black ones, at least). This one is spot on though with the coloured burn effect, and the celtic knot looks great too.

I really like how the celtic knot seems to hover over the burn. Not only does it look like the tribal area was burned, but the red gives it the appearance of the skin being torn.

I love it.
Out of all the burn pieces I've seen, yours impress me most. You seem to have a knack for shading.

Good job. =3
