BCC Tattoo Complete

danktat Dec 23, 2007 08:35 PM

Just put in the last sitting (except for any touchup work that may need to be done after it is healed). Been taking photos of tattoos for well over a decade and still can't figure out how to make them look like they actually do. Anyway, we will try to get some later on (after) it heals to see if they can be any better. This will give an idea anyway.

Thanks for looking.

NICE! Looks great in the picture, great detail work! Can definately tell what kind of boa it is. I can only imagine what it looks like in person. How many sessions/hours did it take?

danktat Dec 23, 2007 09:31 PM

About 5 hours thru 4 sessions.....cash and time became a factor or it would have probably been done it two sittings

Wow, that's a really nice tat. Boa looks real good. I do have a question though. Is that a cover up? I just looked at one of your other pics, the one that you are holding Tiny and it looks like you had another tat there. If's that's a cover up, that tat guy did a super job.

Awesome job!!

DAMN Dank, nice work! I'll have to get with you when the time comes for the one I want. Gonna take a few sittings, I'm sure. Gonna hurt like hell too. LOL I want my whole right arm to be a Colombian Boa. Belly scales underneath, saddles on top, and medallions on the sides, etc. I want the top of the head to be on my back hand, and the gullar scales to be on my palm, with my thumb being a rats tail going down the chute.

Think you got it in you? HA HA HA Not so sure I got it in me to be honest. It's gonna HURT!

Smokin ink Bro'. Job well done.

i knew it was gon be hott from just he original outline you showed and man it turned out better than i thought holy man wow i hope my snake tat turns out that nice great work

Very nice!
What colors did you use? I always used starbrights (way back in the day when I had my equipment.)
I've been trying to find someone to do a realistic snake tattoo for a while but haven't seen much impressive work, most people seem to do them too cartoony.
You should be very proud! Great ink work.

I use several different brands of pigments...eg. Intenze, New World, Mellinium, Prizm.....My black is always Pelikan or Talenz.
