Got my first portrait yesterday, it was about a 3 hour session. It wasnt bad at all in the beginning, but as the session went on it started to get pretty difficult to handle.

The tattoo is partially based off of this but had a few things changed

Your portraits nipple looks so life like, its amazing. But the placement seems to be a little off. Just kidding. Congrats on the new ink. What is the story( if any) behind this piece.

Haha thanks. Honestly not really a story behind it. The background is a small portion of the two skylines of the cities I grew up in. I came up with the idea a little while ago of the woman, but only because I liked the idea. I actually found that first picture after I came up with the idea, and just showed it to the artist

I want this to flow into a half sleeve some day.

This is a pretty goo tattoo! The only thing that cold have been done better is that the negative space smoke part looks a little forced, doesn’t flow quite like real smoke would. Other than that it’s spot on! Good job! are you done now?

Thank you. And yep those were my thoughts exactly when it was finished, that it just seems a bit unnatural. This piece is done, but I want it to flow into a half sleeve. I dont know what the half sleeve will be yet, but I want the chest piece to be a part of it.

Looks like you should spend a bit more time at the drawing table working on the portrait skills. Not a bad start but you got a lot of hard work ahead of you.

If you would actually read his posts, you will see that he just GOT his first portrait, not that he was MAKING his first portrait 🙂
