So, here’s the second phase of my camera half sleeve. Done by Jason @American Tattoo. He’s done every single tattoo of mine since I was 18, great guy.
The Pentax camera was done last year, the new part (obviously the brightest) will eventually fade in with the camera over time while it heals. My arm is really swollen. I sat for 4 hours and didn’t take any breaks, which did a number on my upper arm. We almost left the entire thing black & shaded, but it was a great call to color in the flower. It was worth staying in the chair an extra hour. You can’t really see the film canisters & film well in these two pictures, but here you get a better view. Eventually i’ll start the bottom half to complete my half sleeve, I’ve been doing them in pieces so I can commit to an idea.
I am extremely stoked. Everything turned out beautifully, I have so far two things that have influenced me the most with photography. I’m all smiles.
Absolutely stunning!
