A few new pieces

I just got back from my guest spot at Mooncusser Tattoo in Provincetown a week ago, and my schedule has been balls-to-the-wall crazy with various tattoo projects. It's hard keeping up but I'm doin my best. 

I did this rosary on Dayna about a week ago. She wanted it black and grey with the beads tinted red. I threw some white highlights in there just to give it a bit more pop in some areas. Not exactly my comfort zone but I think it came out great. 

I started this iris and butterflies tattoo on Stan a few weeks ago. Black is all healed, color is fresh. There's another butterfly on the back side of the iris as well. 

Tattooed this lettering on Jinelle before I left for Provincetown. I've been working on my lettering lately and have been tryin to step up my game. I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out. Hopefully I get to do more like this one in the future. 

And finally here's a shot of my buddy Oldden's backpiece. This is the first session, about 3 or so  hours of linework. There's a bit more texture to be added next session, some scales in the Wyrm...bit this is what we got done today. The main focus of the project is the three Norns, or three Fates, spinning the thread of life. The tree behind them is Yggsdrasil, the World Tree of Norse Mythology. The Wyrm at the bottom is Nidhogger, the dragon who chews at the roots of the World Tree. There are four stags (among other animals) that live in Yggsdrasil, but I took some liberties and did stag skulls instead and bordered it off with scrollwork. Here's a few detail shots. 

I'm looking forward to working on this one again. 

Thanks for looking!
