The 15-year tattoo, part 3
11:42 PMToday, I sat for NINE HOURS. But the results are amazing:
This new work sees the appearance of the destroyed city of Neo-Tokyo (after the 2nd "bomb" - for you pedantic types, I know that in the anime, TOKYO was destroyed, while Neo-Tokyo was never seen obliterated. In the comic, however, an entire 2/3 of the story takes place after Akira goes off and blows up Neo-Tokyo) in the background, as well as the character Tetsuo on my tricep. Capping the shoulder is the cryo chamber that held Akira dormant for 31 years.
We THOUGHT we were going to wrap it up today, but there's going to have to be one more sitting. The front of the shoulder extending down between the bicep and tricep still needs city work, and the elbow is getting one more character - Akira himself.

Very nice.
Did your arm swell? I've sat for 12+ hrs on both my arms and they both swelling so intensely that it looks like I was developing a tumor!
Good work though.
:)
That's pretty intense. It looks awesome.
The purple really transforms the whole thing - it looks amazing! Do you know how much all the sittings cost yet? (Sorry if it's rude to ask, I'm just nosey.)
I do indeed know how much it cost :)
It's not rude to ask, but the total figure isn't done yet - he charges by the hour, and we're not quite finished :P
