Sons of Anarchy

This design comes from a show I have never seen; it's name is Sons of Anarchy. This thing took me forever. a total of 3 hours. I attribute most of this time to the intricate details that the white lines call for, as you cannot cover those with black beforehand. Then the fire. ... The firs took a long time all by itself. Detailed and tedious. However, despite the time taken, the client will be back for more soon. He's thinking of another symbol from the same show.

Recent catch-up from an old piece

I have not had a whole lot of work lately, despite my waiting at the shop. I haven't had the best luck in picking times to do this second job lately. But oh well!

I was able this last week to complete the "strength" kanji started ever so long ago. In fact, this was one of the first ever tattoos by me. It was left outlined for some time. Finally, I was able to meet up again with this guy and finish it. He allowed me to come up with the designs in the middle of the symbol. It's freehand work, and I like it. He loves it. He requested the sword, while the rest came from different inspiring ideas he talked about as we went on. The skulls were a must and the floating dismembered eye were just cool.
