like mr chen said, super awesome depth. reminds me of pavel angel type depth.

you might have to buy tattoo prodigies direct from mike devires, or it might be out of print. bloodworks is expensive but damn its such an awesome book. well worth it, only if you have the money to spend.

Tattoo prodigy by mike devries, bloodworks by adrian lee, the newest book by shige, the newest book by grime are my favorites atm.

i think youre good to go now, even though everyone is different. i like to give it about 6 weeks before i dip as well.

and like i said in the other forum, this piece doesnt look as flat as i thought when i was looking at it thru my phone.

I was thinking i like the wing part the most. The rest of the piece looks a little flat.

looks like it could be really cool when finished!!

so awesome to see your progression. very solid work.

sick of looking at all this sick ink! i need some more work!!!

She would have done time for sure if she had tattoos! Cool story.

no comment.

james kern is the man for this type of work. he travels to the uk a lot. here is his most recent one. but i would definitely have dmitry do it if i had the chance.

that was done by allan padilla.

Here is a cool b/g example i posted before

I think it looks fine the way it is, but if u want to fix it u can laser it off (which hurts a lot more than tattooing) or cover it up with a bigger paw. If this is a fresh tattoo, then u can also go get as much sun exposure as possible and soak the tattoo in a tub. That will also help in lightning up the tattoo.

I like color also but ive also seen some really good b/g as well.

Nice! The contrast really adds depth to the piece!

i 100% agree with adler about text tattoos.
