this one was quite a challenge, it was a picture sent to me as a text. i had to draw it up and make it into a back piece for a new client.

the father of a friends boyfriend, (still with me?) has had the image for a little while and finally got round to getting the tattoo done today.

hes got tattoos already but nothing on his back which suited me fine.

the drawing of this was hard work getting the wings to look symetrical but i think i did ok. so this is officially all my own work. although i never freehanded onto skin i did draw the whole thing from the text image i was sent.

the shading was good fun though the guy did bleed quite a lot which made things a little bit difficult, however less than two hours later and weve got a pretty good picture here.

hes already looking for ideas to fill in the gaps on his arms to make complete sleeves and i think he was quite pleased with his new tattoo. the man sat for the whole time with barely even a flinch, hes a legend! well done to us both i think xx
