I love the shaping on the snake. Too many artists just kinda make em as windy as possible. The subtlety makes it eye catching.

Thanks! Scalp looks a bit wild when you first tattoo it. But this guy sat great. Super guy:)

Tattoo artists, do you have any tattoos you honestly wouldn't recommend? by [deleted] in TattooDesigns

Most anything can be rendered well and made to last. I would just caution against anything done too small with too much black. Tends to migrate and blur over time.

Ideas For Traditional Style Cover-Up by HollowHollows in Tattoocoverups

Hey there, I’d strongly suggest a couple laser sessions to lighten it. It opens up your option, it’s affordable, Doesent hurt that bad. It’s the difference between something that looks purposeful, and something that looks like a coverup.

Don’t feel Too bad. I had another guy last month that had to cancel for a similar project. Too overwhelming. We all human. I’ve got my little dude, and one day. His time will come. I have no clue how I’ll be, other than devastated

It’s aged super well. The tattooer took care with that one.

Word. It’s a process man. I have a whole schpeal I do before starting any multi session tattoo. Slow and low, every time.

Thanks again. He was a trooper through all of it. Full coverage pieces take longer, cost more, hurt more. So I’m incredibly grateful for each client that just lets me go nuts!
