Client came in and picked a picture from the: A Book of Skulls by Victor Modafferi, that he wanted for his tattoo.

First go at shading with the NEDZ machine, 3.5mm stroke, black spring with the adjuster at minimum pressure, 7 Curved Magnum, INKredible black and white inks.

Tattoo is 5.6 inch high and it took about 2 hours to do, tried to keep the rough pencil look that the drawing have in the book by Victor Modafferi....... and I just LOVE the Nedz machine more and more :)

Looks like it's working pretty well for you.

Hmmm I'm curious about that skull book now. Sounds like a handy thing to have around.

Looks pretty cool. I am looking via my iPhone, so it is hard to see small details. Is this without any outlines? I always feel like I am missing detail when I don't make outlines.

@OwlsDen
Yes no outlines at all, the picture reference is from A Book of Skulls by Victor Modafferi, it is a dark pencil sketch, and the client wanted me to get as close to the rough sketchy look of the drawing in the book, so no outlines or fine details, all done with this needle:

@Alie
It is a sketch book / inspiration book, thats why the tattoo looks "rough" the client wanted that look on his tattoo, here is a link to the book, but just google the title and you will find that they sell it a lot of places:
