Celtic badger

Designing a Celtic badger for my son

He wanted it tilted, I thought it was better level, but it's his arm and he has it where he wanted it. I made him wear the stencil around for two days to make sure it was where he wanted it.

Progress picture while lining it. He needed only two small breaks to walk around and stretch his legs.

Colour tests and sleeve design

Color tests, because I wasn't sure the yellow was infection or allergy. It was definitely infection from doing dishes by hand. Lessons learned.

Drew out the rest of my sleeve.

Drawing out concepts

Markers-- I want prehistoric tattoos, starting with The Shaman from 8,000 BCE

My first yellow tattoo and my first infected tattoo all at the same time!
