Second sitting in just over 9 hours 😮

The tiger is hopefully going as is rest of waterfall and if we get time (2-3 hour sitting) some scales.
I am nervous and excited but have to go on home interviews most of the day 😡
Will post up when done.

Just a quick update

The second sitting was 3 hours with 2 five mins break.

The whole of the tiger has been added, rest of the waterfall and around 300 scales done on the dragon have been outlined.

It was really painful especially near the edges of my back where it touches the rib cage and across the kidney area.

😮

I will post up the pics but been busy mopping blood up and still oozing 😮 So will post a clean pic over the w/end.

Hi peeps

Here are some pics of the second sitting it is still bruised and swollen but is 6 days old now.
I have to say this was much tougher on me than the first sitting especially on the tiger. 😮

Me and the artist were discussing stripes (I said seen a few where they just don’t seem bold enough and shall we experiment) – he said that he can shade them with a shader but they may not look as vibrant if done with a liner…

Like a masochist I chose the liner – hurts like a bastard still – but I hope that the stripes come out much better just still very scabby (yum) :p

Ok I know the tiger is on me and I am biased but damn I think this piece of that tattoo is fantastic and made the pain of the whole thing worth it.
