    Hey people

    Had the first sitting of my Black and skin cover up Japanese sleeve yesterday. went alot better than i thought, considering what i wanted covering was a black dragon which i had had done when i was 16 :rolleyes: was a little spectacle on what he would be able to work around it! the Flower he has covered the bulk of the dragon with is going to have to be shaded a bit, but he has been clever and tried to use the original to base some of the shading on, also Japanese waves have taken out some of the original in the centre of the picture. like i say this is the first sitting so still a lot more work to be done.

    Hi

    I have seen several hundred coverups and the artist certainly knows their placement and has covered that dragon very well.

    It is going to look very sweet when you are finished.
    Keep posting as you get it done would love to see the wip.

    Take care

    Hi

    Personally i’d give it at least another day just to make sure it is sealing up on the cuts.
    Looking good though.

    Take care

    Dude! I need to see more of that!!!

    Please post pictures as soon as you get another session done.

    I have a tribal picture on my right arm which I am hoping to be able to cover with a similar idea. I had a japanese themed B&G half sleeve in mind, but I am really worried that I won´t be able to cover up the tribal tattoo with such a design.

    Your´s looks like it´s going to come out great.

    Looking forward to see more 😀
