Take the art work to an even better…[Read more]

Hey there Stitchy, the solid fill deals with the shading and cleans it up it also helps with tightening up the edge. The size of the horns and gap between them dont matter quite so much its the overall shape of the infinity symbol thats important, it wouldn’t be difficult to do a good tatooist would handle it easily.
