had a huge amount of anxiety and nervousness going into this . i had never wrapped a tattoo around a body part before (i apprenticed for 1 year and been tattooing for 2 years since then)and i had to draw alot of this on with markers which is someting i had never really done either. this is after 3 sittings on a older client of mine. in this picture 85 % is healed/still healing.very glad he had faith in me as i learned a huge amount doing this tattoo and gained a huge amount of confidence. we have one more sitting to bring the background shading up a few more inches and to do a final tightening and cleanup pass. thanks for looking!

the lotus is a cover up of a super old traditional rose
