This is excellent work Artur! You should be very proud . I had to look a long time to see the extra coil in the snake’s tail. I doubt that the client would have noticed, but great catch on your part.

Thank you Laurene very much for keen comments ❤️
Yes the very end of the tail - there’s texture ...

The design was AI generated, and the tip of the tail wasn’t attached to the body at all - I’ve discovered it after first session ended🙈🙉🙊
I was so focused and stressed to start this complicated design, that I didn’t notice something is just not right?!
Today I have made up a bit of the snake’s body ...

I’ve started over a month ago this tattoo and I’ve finished it today in 5 hours…
I wish it could be better done, but for an excuse - it’s my first ever snake I’ve attempted 🙈🙊🙉
Very challenging, I’ve made lots tinny imperfections to cover up with shading 🙈
After all it’s not looking too bad I hope ...

A short update…
I’ve had no clients so I’ve started this lion on the fake skin…
My friends complementing so far, but I’m in doubts - as usually never liking what I do

I’ve been asked by workmate for tattoo…
At first I got upset a little bit, because first thing she’s mentioned was the tattoo made already by someone else…
She always been promising to come and let me do it if you know I mean, next thing she’s showing off her new tattoo …
Nevermind, eventually she’s ...

Thank you for sharing this on the forum. It’s wonderful! Actually, I think that 2.5 hours is a very short time to get so much depth and detail!

You have an understanding of colour that really shines through here. Beautiful work! What brushes did you use? It has the look of an oil painting.

Oh ...

Few days ago I've had no client, so I've started making the stencil of this lion, and placing it on to the fake skin.
The thing is - it requires an extra time to get dry on the rubber sheet, or else the stencil marks will get gone in no time...
So not to waste time doing nothing, I've started ...
