I ended up going and getting color added today 12.26, heres some pics of how its looking so far, but I will post more when it heals.

Here’s some more pics that look a little better.

I ended up going with red and greyish colors. Let me know what you guys think. Just got it done about 3 hrs ago so its still got to heal up a bit.

i would say either leave ti black and grey or go for some bright reds for the scroiption and try for a reflective style on the sword.
