AFTER

This is the first session of a pot leaf cover-up.  I think it would have looked much better if the branches could go up further and taper off a little better, unfortunately that wasn't an option.  It's a really fun piece.  I can't wait to pack it with color and get some highlights in it!

This guy already had the cross on the left and wanted one to match it on his other arm with a "fiery red skull".  I didn't like the idea, but I couldn't talk him out of it, so the next best thing I can do is do the best I could to do it nice.  It was hard to match the shading on the other one, cause you can't really look at the other arm while your tattooing...the...other...arm, whatever you get the point!

This customer came in with a strangely placed faded tree frog floating on her foot.  She wanted a lilly pad "or something" under it.  I thought she'd have the same problem with the lilly pad, it would also look like it was oddly placed and just kind of floating there, so I suggested this tree branch with a little flower and some background color to make it pop.  She loved it and I have to admit I'm pretty proud of it my damn self!  Plus it was a lot of fun!
