Here is the rundown for the first week of the tattoo year. Click on images to see them at full resolution.
On Tuesday the 30th the week started with a second 3 hours session on this Ocean adventure sleeve. Big Kraken octopus and very ominous clouds. Heh.
After I got to start another sleeve on a good friend of mine. This familiar image I have rendered in skin countless times by now, so I made sure to try and find a picture to work off that offered a different camera angle at the least. This one worked well for the space/area where it was going to sit. The faces on this figures are about the size of a dime. We left the wings for the next session as we didn’t have time this day.

In a previous post I showed you guys the sketch for this piece, here seen after two hours and seven minutes of ink work. I would have liked to have gotten further than this on the first sitting, but being his first tattoo I think he did quite well.
Next up is another piece in progress I posted recently, here with yet another session of work added. A little bit more still to come.

This is new to me, first once I’ve ever been asked to do, a Japanese style turtle:
And to finish off the week, a simple cross behind the ear.
That was my fist week of 2015. Thanks to everyone as always for choosing me as their permanent body modifier.
Til next time, sink a fork in me.
