Hello all,

This is my first post here(hopefully the pics work), just thought I’d share my progress as it happens. Here is my sleeve after the first 3 sessions. Please let me know what you think!

It’s going to be an Angels & Demons theme….the demon spirits are starting to come together (rising from the well) where they will be in conflict with angles fighting over the greek masks of divine comedy and tragedy symbolizing the choices of living life embracing your demons or following your angels.

the artist is Caesar ( http://www.caesartattoo.com ) in NYC, his black and grey work is amazing to say the least.

That’s definitely good advice. Looking forward to seeing the progression, Caesar is certainly an excellent artist. Thanks for the pics.

I’m probably in the minority, but some real subtle color work will make that even more badass!

Patience is a virtue… lol, there will be a VERY small amount of color on the back of my tricep, but if I gave away all the details you wouldn’t have a reason to check back in 😀

My opinion would be to keep with the black and grey. I think when you add a touch of color, large tattoos tend to look unfinished and less cohesive. It looks awesome by the way.

The color is not my idea, it’s Caesar’s….and a caged bird can’t fly…and Caesar is very good at flying, lol, I trust him; he has complete range to do whatever he’d like to turn my idea into an awsome piece of art.

That looks sweet. What was the inspiration for it? What does it say at the bottom? Great piece.
