This is the piece I created over 3 days and 33 hours…

This is the piece I created over 3 days and 33 hours back-to-back at the legendary @milanotattooconvention for the Best of Show competition. I’m mostly known for my smaller 15 cm microderailed pieces, so this was a real level-up for me and a chance to push my limits. Thanks to the amazing jury—and especially @victorialeetattoo —I made it into the “Best of 6” among 60 incredible artists who were competing! Also a big thanks to everyone who stopped by the booth to say hi! The piece is now fully healed, with just a few tiny touch-ups on the red to prepare for the upcoming calf piece.
