great – try and get some pics from the other side too !!

Not quite sure what you mean? The pictures start on the inside of my arm and then run right around to the other side. If you check the lady weaing the catsuit who has green hair you’ll see her in the first pic and then again in the last one…

Artist is Louis at Middleton Tattoo here in the UK. He did the laser removal too.

I’ll likely have the other arm done at some point, just need to save up some more money first! 😀
