He'll return so I may feel in the smoke (lower left of feet), and make the shoes black (The red didn't show up on his skin very well ).

Tattoo: Arabic script, meaning "God"
Location: Left side back shoulder
Needle: 11M

Again, used water for grey wash. This was simple, but oh so fun, especially with my new love "cup of water" gray wash. I think I may have left it too light. But we'll see.

Need to take a better picture

Tattoo: "R" and "J" script
Location: Left side back of arm "R" | Right side back of arm "J"
Needle: 7RL | 11M

My first time using just a cup of water to make grey wash. I LOVE the cup of water technique. i do believe I found my prefered grey wash. Lays on so smooth and evenly.

But of course, I won't know for sure till it heals.

Tattoo: Jhoan script
Location: Right side rib
Needle: 7RL | 11M

Horrible linework, but can be fixed by filling it in. The guy was in pain with the shading, I doubt he would've have let me fill it in right then and there. At the begining...He was speaking on the phone. I now know that no talking is allowed when doing a rib.

So consider it wip.

The ribs are tricky, it was a surprise. But I really want to do another. I've looked closely at the other guys doing the rib since I did this, and I want to put into use what I've learned.
