New Tattoo and A Day Early to Boot.

So Janos called me this afternoon and told me that he had to cancel our Saturday appointment cause his wife had to leave town and he had to watch his kid the whole weekend. But he told me that if I wanted to stop by the shop and look at the artwork I could. Knowing his work I would love it so much that I would want to start on it immediately. So I asked him if I could just have the outline done today if I really liked the drawning and he agreed to do it.

So I go down there not really thinking about what he came up with. But when I saw it I was floored. It was EXACTLY what I wanted and all I did was to show him a concept discription. It was like he read my fucking MIND. The drawing was so amazing in detail. I wanted it tattooed on me TODAY. So here is the outline completely done:

Five minutes after it was completed

Closer center detail

Inner arm detail

There's also more detail in the back of the arm but I am not able to take good pictures of it because of the positioning. I'll get of it when I can actually flex my arm in position to take that picture.

I will be going back in two weeks to shade it and color and when that is done it should be fucking fantastic. It is suppose to be a surgical scar that burst open allowing the tentacles to come out. In the center and inside background it biomatter mixed in with mechanical parts.

But I am so glad that I didn't do the shading and everything all in one sitting. As it is its fucking killing me. The inner arm was THE most painful of all to the point where I actually screamed out loud. It felt like a hot scapel was cutting me open. Fuck, it hurts just thinking about it.

Right now it feels like its on fire. And Nossie is so lovingly teasing me that he is going to slap it.

For all those who like the work and want to go see the artist, his name is Janos at Tattoos by Lou over on 14th Street in South Miami Beach. I highly recommend him and you can see why.
