Welcome to the forum.

And dont hesitate to ask :)

Beautifull piece. Like it :)

Thats a good question, And I do believe, that you will get different answer from whomever answers.

Personally, I dont go more then 50% But thats just me, And I find that it works for me. :geek:

Ahh okey. hahaha

But your lines in this one, is quite good. The shades, well I still would have worked a bit more on it. ;)

Welcome from Denmark :D

Welcome to the forum.

And not to brag or anything, but this is infact, one of the best tattoo learning forums out on the wide net. ;)

One of my very first mistakes, on my lower legs, was to place a stencil when my leg was raised. And once I finished the tattoo, I stretch my leg, and it went all destortet… :oops:

I see, that they did’nt go in quite well.

So it works in UV lights? Hmm dont quite know what my take on those inks are yet.

(Reminds me, need to get a refill of coffey ;) )

Nah, it looks good. Are you trying to do anamorphic drawings?

Killer mermaids??? I dont think she would want that :lol:

And a Draugen well, a nice idea, but, thats on the side, I’ve already begun the design.
What I need ideas on, is her other side. With the runic stone.

(idea struck me on her lower back. We are going to Helheim, ruled by Hel. The death god and her realm)

I’ve been thinking a lot about that. I have some relatives in Sweden, maybe I could try setting up something there.
Maybe that’s why the Danish price on getting a tattoo is on an average of 130$ per started hour. Its cause of the expensive materials used.

Good luck on your retirement ;)
But as the old saying goes; If you can Dream it, you can DO it. So never stop dreaming. ;)

Nice idea with water and fire on the cover up.
Coverups can be quite tricky to master.

Agreed with Deshi. A hard place to tattoo. Did you place the stencil, once he was in a relaxed position? Or when his arm was out?

Looks desent enough.
Though I would love a close up, on this ;)

What colours are you using?

Nice job for one of your first. Its hard to see though.

Unfortunatly, yes. Toll, tax and whats call moms in my country, all in all, add up about 50% :(

I did a water drop once, but everyone only saw a womens … ehhem… ya now, betweein the legs thing.
But a waterdrop is good drawing ;)

First attempt on greywash? Well not bad actually.
I would have gone a tad blacker on some spots, but havent seen the picture you went from.
