he looks good, looks like some nice clean work.
your design though, might be evened up with some small claws on the feet... i like everything else, but it just seemed like he was missing something on his feet...

I did have claws on it! BUt i filled em in with yellow with no outline and they kinda disapeared, i know what ya mean.

even just a small bit of greywash might work, slight shading where the claws would go...
if you do get a touchup out of her, throw up another pic, id love to see it!

you're making me miss those long cramping backpiece sessions.

theres always room for more though!

sure, i've got plenty of blank canvas. it's the dearth of time and money that's keeping my skin blank.

the secret is, to befriend an artist, ask him what kinda tattoo have you ever wanted to do, whatever it may be ex; a flaming pizza, or maybe a sacred potato, or maybe a sweet ninja scene. I dunno usualy it will be an offball idea, but hey the artist will have alotta fun probably put you in his portfolio and usualy you can get a sweet deal.

This is precisely the way I'm getting my backpiece done. It's a giant windowpane and the bird that's smashed into it... the guy I apprenticed under is doing it, geeze I need to ring him up and have another session, but I get so ink sick. He's famous for doing Sacred foods (chicken and beer, cookies and milk, etc). I really think your sense of humor is a lot like his. One of my favorite pieces in his portfolio is a box of chinese take-out with a cat's head sticking out of the top. Check out his work, if you're curious, at [link] . I think right now he's working out of his bus.
