So yesterday I started something new. I sat for 4 hours and while it’s not complete, we got a good start on it. I’ve always loved vampires. Their sultry, sexy ways and the way they play with death. I decided why not depict that in a tattoo. A few months ago I contacted my artist about doing a portrait style piece for me. While it’s not going to be 100% portrait, he’s adding his own little flares into it. He told me he wants to approach it like Roman, Nikko and Justin Hartman. Now I know a few areas are a little strange right now but that’s because he hasn’t added in the details or shading yet. I’m keeping this basically black and grey but with pops of color. We just focused on the black parts yesterday. I did this on the inside area of my calf just opposite my Ankh tattoo. This new tattoo also goes around the back of my calf a bit as well..not exactly the best place as far as pain goes. I definitely say the legs are the worst as far as my pain tolerance goes! Anyway, here’s what we got so far:

And after the second cleaning before heading the bed:

Yes I am aware the fingers are funny looking but again I say that’s because he didn’t go in and add details and all of that yet.
