First pass on Jay’s coverup sleeve. Working with @cheyenne_tattooequipment @rawpigments @monsterkreations We had a lot of pretty dark stuff to cover here, so in this first pass we got the new design drawn in to maximize the use of existing dark and light areas. Applied strong lines and shading and then packed the whites and off-whites in between. This should settle into a nice foundation; when we do the next pass over this area it will be primed and ready for detail and color. Thanks Jay for the dedication and for sitting so well!
