    Hey guys,
    Just got my first tattoo the other day on my left forearm. Its a medusa design i took from a shirt and it took about 1hr45mins in total.

    Not quite finished yet, looking to get a background/shading around it as well. The tattoo artist suggested a fading grey wash around the outside. Whats your thoughts?

    I also apologise for the excellent quality of the pictures

    What are those things at the far bottom right? Sock-puppets?

    At first glance that looks a really nice design

    However the other post saying about glove puppets has a point, although I wouldn’t put it quite like that.

    I presume they are snake heads? its just the snakes on the left side look a whole lot more realistic, than the ones on the right? They either look unfinished, or as if they were even done by a different artist? Did you have it done in one session?

    I’m guessing when it’s finished it will look much better 😎

    Hi

    Give the guy a break 😉

    It is clear that the tattoo is work in progress and I am sure the artist will be adding a depth of more detail on further sittings.

    I am sure it will become a very sweet piece of ink.

    Take care

    medusa ?

    i actually like it , looks like a standard rough outline to me .
    many artist i know do an outline like this and then neaten it up on the last session after colouring / shading etc

    hey guys,

    yeah the images i brought in only had an outline, so it was basically just a copy of what i had brought in and tattoo artist suggested what i could do with it, so im going to go back in once its healed to add some depth to it.
