Proverbally Yours Message and Delivery Tattoo Research.

After doing my initial research I found that a recurring feature found in design associated with rappers is that of tattoo's, so I have decided to look into it further...

Lil Wayne

Eminem

50 Cent

After looking through these it appears that they are quite strongly text related which I think will be useful for me. There is also limited colour and made up mostly of linear strokes. The designs also seem to follow contours of the body and mirror the shapes that are already there which I think is something useful to consider when drawing my own.
