Reference to old ink location. Will be two sessions. 3-4 weeks to heal. Then session 2.

I like it. A good cover indeed. I've always been too chicken to pick something!

Me too. Heart was for a marriage that ended 30 years long. I just picked things that really meant a lot. It l of it has a story and meaning, I'm likely to go for it. Everyone's different though. So left arm is going to be all Buddha stuff and right arm is my Scott roots. Napier. So have my family tartan and the Sans Tache crest.

This now has to heal three weeks then i can get it finished. He wants colors to settle in and take hold before completing it.

Healing seems a good metaphor for after the divorce. 30 years is pretty great, well done on that! Hope to see the colour shots too

Dope stuff, I wish I had a family crest heheh. What does Sans Tache mean ? in french it sounds like "Without Stain", if I'm interpreting the words right

Spot on. It means exactly that. Im not certain but think it's Latin. Good cover up. Can't wait to see it after second session. December 20 next appointment.
