I had been wanting to get a kelp forest on my leg for a long, long time. I finally made the appointment a month ago (at Shogun Tattoo, with Charles Belnavis, see earlier post). June 20 was the day! Of course I walked the 2+miles to get there in 100°F heat, and arrived with swollen ankles/feet and dripping with sweat streaming with Pasadena road dust (gross!) sorry Charles.
Phase 1: Drawing out the kelp. This part took less than 10 minutes.
Phase 2: Inking in the line art. In this case, Charles was just outlining the whole thing, aside from adding little 'serrations' to leaves, he pretty much left things blank. This part went pretty fast too, about 15-20 minutes.
FINISHED (for now). Yep, walked home like this, with the saran wrap and all.
