Very nicely done tattoo! Ya gotta love that pepper. I'm sure the tattoo looks darker to the naked eye than in the pic, hence the light sienna mountain look.
I'm a big fan of messing light source around in traditional work, believing that old school is not to be studied for realism.

We will see a hell of a lot more of these solid tattoos when artists reach for a rotary.

Adam's machines are best rotary eye candy I've seen. So is his unique style.

Keep up the great work lenert...well done.
