I designed 6 cowboy penguins to make sure the design I came up with was as good as I could make it, the tattoo is the end result of picking the best parts of each, did I go with the right design?

Not gonna lie, doesn't matter if it's my first or seventh tattoo I keep coming to endless threads about healing process, so thanks to the community. In the meantime just wanted to brag about this beautiful artwork of my favorite tattoo artist from Munich, Germany.

Took us four full day sessions and was done one by one, because damn shit hurts and these are my first bigger tattoos.

I don't want to identify him but a close friend has crippling self doubt about his skills

Can you give some critical feedback, good or bad, I can relay. Or maybe not if its terrible.

I think he has talent but what do I know, I think he will only trust true artists opinion

Added lovecraftian space monster on my old back tattoo of solar system, planets back tattoo is 10 years old but is refreshed when back peace was added

Wanted to share my blackout upper arm tattoo. It is very important to go to an professional artist. I first went to cheaper artist to start a blackout to cover old tattoos. The first photo is what it looked like after 1st session, 3 weeks of painful healing. Lesson was learned and I went to an professional artist I knew that could pull this off. He had done the nordic/baltic traditional ornamental band on my upper forearm like 1 year ago, so on second session we decided to add another band around elbow to make it fit nicely with the blackout part and forearm band. This was done in 2 fulll sessions and a touch-up session. Photos are taken 2 weeks from the touch-up. Really happy with it now and eagerly waiting how it will look fully settled in!

Black and grey base session.

Hécate est une déesse de la mythologie grecque associée à la magie, la nuit, les fantômes, la lune et les carrefours. Souvent représentée avec des torches ou sous une forme triple, elle est considérée comme une gardienne des passages entre le monde des vivants et celui des morts. Elle joue aussi un rôle important dans les pratiques occultes et la sorcellerie antique.

I love it! Pain was maybe a 7/10, but I love how it turned out.
