nice! congrats I like the design

Monday 3.5 hours on my arm

Ok so we finished last night!! Pics are from right after we finished
The scales are a dark green which will of course “lighten up” once it heals
Around 12 hours in total to complete..of course I will post pic once it heals up a little

Wow those are amazing!

So we only got in a couple hours last week…finished the shading. I am schedulled Monday to touch up the shading and hopefully color the dragon. After that we should be finished.
Session 4 pics.
Broke out really bad on my upper arm..just starting to go away. First time this happened

Ok finished up session 3 on Tuesday …here are some pics. Session 4 (which should be the last one-finish shading and color) scheduled for next week.

In side of my arm–in case you can’t tell

Nice..congrats!!

Color “pops”–very nice!
