Roses are red (and yellow)

Bit more progress on Duncan's chest.  Managed to get the roses all shaded in a couple of hours,  The wings are healing nicely and the cover up seems to have worked really well.  Cant wait to get more done on this but I'm going to have to wait a little while....christmas is expensive, tattoos can wait!

Goodbye stars

Duncan is a lovely guy, and a very patient man.  I designed this piece for him in may, and he very kindly waited for me to tattoo it.  So he has waited nearly seven months and I appreciate that sort of loyalty more than you'd believe.  Its been a really fun piece even though it is a cover up (he originally had two nautical stars just below his collar bones.) It was amusing seeing how off the stars were position wise when we put the stencils on for this, one was at least an inch closer to his sternum!  Anyhoo...here it is, a fair few more hours to go but I'm really pleased so far, it was fun seeing the stars disappear!
