It was made slightly more interesting because the chair was broken and stuck and full height which meant Leigh had to stand up to work.

It’s all finished now, and just to keep Matt happy there will be pictures at the weekend (probably).

Is it time to plan the next tattoo?

All the colouring was done today, although we decided not to do all the white as the chances are that it probably wouldn’t look very good after a while.

All I need to do now is to leave it for three weeks or so, then go back to get it touched up a bit to finish it off.

Photos in a week or so.

Most of the black is now complete, although a few bits of outline still need doing.

Session three is going to be a two hour session in three weeks time, it would have been sooner but there’s a scout camp in the way.

Just the basic outline was done this time, the main detail and the colouring will be done in subsequent sessions. It should end up looking like this when it’s finished in a few months time.

Session two is due in about three weeks time.
