Something Old & Something New

It seems as though I'm beginning a whole lot of larger scale pieces these days. With the slow rotation of returning clients it feels as though it's been a while since I completed one of these larger scale pieces.

Here's a sleeve I finished four or five months ago

And here's a piece I completed last night. Based on a painting by Camilla d'Errico.

Somewhat different from what I've been doing but great to step outside the comfort zone and push those boundaries/habits.

Average Tuesday.

Here's what this Tuesday looked like here at Tattoo Union.

Cohen outlined an arm all day.

And this is the piece I was working on. (2nd session)

Just another average Tuesday.

Two weeks and Five years later.

 

These photos are a bit better.
Two weeks, huh?

This customer of mine showed up out of the blue with an outline I had done almost six years ago. He wanted to finish it in two weeks. Only problem was it was his entire front of his torso, and I think I outlined it with a 7 mag. (what was i thinking???) It was a struggle to get it completed, and in two hour sessions, it made it even harder. Thanks to my patient customers who didn't mind the musical chairs, (I'm still working that out), and the feeling of completion feels good in this job, which sometimes I never feel satisfied.
That being said, there's another three hours minimum I would have liked to have done, but see ya in five years I told him. You might also notice the varying levels of healing. That wasn't ideal, but I wait on him to e-mail me some photos later.
