2 sessions. I love finishing pieces in one session but sometimes the skin just isn’t doing what you need it to and sometimes the client is just tapped. We all have better days than others in the chair; am I right? What’s nice about breaking up tattoos into multiple sessions is being able to induce less trauma for a better heal AND, more importantly, see what needs tidying up via smoothing things out, sharpening areas while maintaining areas of softness for dynamics, and pumping up contrast and saturation. I mapped in the whole piece and did the cool tones in the face and most of the darks during the first session. All of the warm tones are fresh, here. This is a pretty small tattoo, for me; on a slender, athletic female. It was tremendously fun to design and create and tie in to a Jack Skellington (on the outer arm) that I did a year or two back. Thanks for looking. (at The Black Lantern) https://www.instagram.com/p/CYdSv4ILPaSVoZ9-sS5nzAw24ravp7pHBsmnOs0/?utm_medium=tumblr
