Just did a 10 year pass on this old multiple laser coverup…

Just did a 10 year pass on this old multiple laser coverup on Gabe. Why did I choose glowing crystals for a coverup? I guess I figured it had been lasered enough that I could go with something lighter in value. Unfortunately, what I didn’t understand at the time was that lasered skin can be hard to do brightly colored tattoos on- it tends to settle kind of dull and milky because of the fine grained scarring caused by the laser. At any rate, a fresh pass can make all the difference, especially after a decade of settling. Working with @cheyenne_tattooequipment @rawpigments @monsterkreations
