creating codes

Whilst looking at the time codes used by kodak and looking how to adapt that into a personal style I started thinking about my own personal coding that i have within my tattoos that i have designed. Above is two examples, these were the actual designs used to trace my now permanent markings. They are based on times, places & people in my life when I designed them. The top one is my blood family, each line represents my; Mum, Dad, Brother 1, Brother 2 and Myself. The lower one is a design that captured 25 years of my life, each line representing a time, place or person that made me who i was when i reached 25.

I think I will use my personal style along with the kodak dating system to create some visuals for each year. Until now i never really thought of my tattoos as having a certain style but after researching such artist as Brockmann I can see that my own personal style is similar to his and that of many swiss designers. I think i may have just found my angle!.
