A going away gift for some friends. So they'll always have a bit of the North Coast with them back in Arizona.
And here it is folks! Jp's Sleeve is all but done! (minus a short session of touch up here and there). I finished the Phoenix and I think that it really brought it together. This tattoo is REALLY dense with color and black as you can see and it is in fact a cover-up so there is the reasoning for it in case you were wondering. JP is leaving to report for his new post back east and I'm sad to see him go. Thanks again JP. I'll miss ya buddy, safe travels back to the east coast.
As you can see we didn't quite finish the whole sleeve (the inside still to go, But due to time I didn't want to start it and not be able to finish, such is life, it happens).
I put a super light grey wash over the existing rock formation to hid the cover-up a bit more. If need be, when he comes in for a touch up, we'll add opaque grey over the rocks to really get rid of the pesky cover-up.
If you're wondering what is going on with that blossom at the top of the photo, well it's JP, his wife and their son's birth stone colors. He asked if I could do that and I was happy to oblige.
So I actually did this tattoo a while back on the boyfriend of the girl that got the Hibiscus with the same book from the bible (scroll down and you'll know what I'm talking about). Anyhow, I had a lot of fun tattooing this on him and he sat great, being that this is his first tattoo. I modeled the roses after some Freddy Corbin Roses that I have been looking at a lot recently, and well I had to just tattoo some. Lucky for me this young man was down for the design I had drawn for him.
