Shoki




Just a few little spots here and there and the big guy is done!
Then on to the butt and thighs with some vanquished oni (Japanese demons...Shoki is the "Demon Queller" after all) and the background from the shoulders to above the knees. Then sleeves and chest at some point down the road, but one step at a time.
P.S. This is his first tattoo...

Old Virgin



Did this one a while ago, but never really got any decent pictures.
Saw him today and despite not shaving his leg, finally got some usable pics.
All single needle outline and lots of single shading. Did this one after visiting friends at Tattooland in LA. Got home and was full of fine line fever and inspiration...
