Working on my own calf tattoos

Drew the screaming possum without a stencil (upside down!!)

Next morning I colored the base colors in. I'm going to let this heal a few weeks before I do anything else to it.

Did my linework without a stencil also.  

This is the design as looking from the back.  I skipped the wind bars, which I wasn't sure I liked and instead added the screaming Opossum, which I think is fucking adorable.

Painting a tattoo supply cart


I had this wood box that was made into a chow-box for camping.  It has sat here in the living room for a while and wasn't being used much, so I decided to take it over for tattoo supplies.  It's been getting a make over with old oil based paints. 

Final form after cute little gears were glued on.



 

Designing out the rest of my calf


 

Drawing with a bugpin on fake skin


Doing a little black and white realism.  Looks like a Hapsburg LOL

 

Tiny bugpin tattoos



I can't wait to see how the white ink clover heals up. Right now it looks weird from the swelling and redness of blood in it.
