25 days later and this is the result so far.

No scabbing, clean fresh skin. Still a bit shiny, but will go away when the hairs get back.
I’m using ointment three times a week now.. but it’s really not that important anymore.

I have no clue of what his other work looks like, but from this linework… he better be fucking amazing at shading / coloring.

Great details. I like it.

1200$ for lines? And he have no fucking idea on where this is going? Fuck it, fuck it all.

13 days later, and this is how it looks. Dead skin all over, but it’s all part of the progress.
All scabs are gone.

I would upload more progressphotos, but this forum is crashing.

Hands down, these two studios.

I could imagine this on the collarbone, but not the sternum. Don’t waste that spot for something like this.

You’re in luck mate. Blackwork is fucking hot nowadays.

The best.

Nice work Bert!

Thanks Sam (and Butt).
I’m great with the needle

and straight after the train, I went out for drinks…
But here’s the other one.

Soon enough. Stuck on a train for the next 7 hours

Looks like what Buttwheat said… Somehow he mixed the greenish colors from that boulder with the shading.

But… it looks like he doesn’t use much black for shading at all on her. So could it be that he tries to make the shadow on her upper body reflect the color
of that rock/boulder?

My arm was friggin swollen when I got the goat. But the other one on the same arm – nothing.

It’s normal, and it will go down.

..I didn’t dilute it enough and it is draker than I wanted it.

Try less drake.

Now I’m going down by train, an 7 hour trip each way.

Either way, can’t wait. I’ll read the Orient express or something.
