Haven’t posted here in a long time, probably since I was first asking questions about getting tattooed. Finally started around May this year. 5 sessions in so far and each session is 4 hours long. Probably around 16 hours of actual tattooing so far if you take out drawing, stencilling, breaks, different finish times, etc. Another 1-2 sessions and the top half will be completely coloured and finished; I have 12 booked all up, so 7 left.
Bottom half is going to be a dragon with Japanese lanterns and more cherry blossoms, really stoked and happy so far. The artist is Jamin Swaneveld from Last Frontier Tattoos in Upwey, Victoria. You can find some of his work here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/33777843842/
The mountains, smoke at the top, sky and birds were just done yesterday so they’re still a bit dark and fresh.
Thanks guys! Had session #6 today and almost finished the top half. Probably one of the least painful sessions so far and for some reason about 40 minutes in I was feeling light headed and had to take a quick break. Had a panadol and I was fine for the rest of the session. Artist said it may have been because I wasn’t used to the type of needle he was using. Here it is:
Just have to finish off the colour for the flowers, touch up the moon and then the rest of the samurai’s outfit (rope, swords, etc) then we start on the dragon and lanterns for the bottom half.
