The inspiration



Stencil only



My artist, Eddie Padilla.



Some outlining



Outline done (mostly)



Adding some background.



Does it look like my baby?



All black and grey is done. I could have left here and had an awesome tattoo.



Nope, I stuck it out for that awesome red hair.



Done!!




It doesnt hurt now, but the hair hurt like hell. He had to go over the same area again and again, and again. Lots of subtle shading, color combinations, fine details, etc...

In total I was in the chair from 4:00 PM until Midnight. Eight hours of work, one sitting, probably three hours on the hair alone.

My wife actually drew out everything but the face, feet, and hands. Eddie filled in those details and added the shading. Awesome job, and I am very happy with it.
