    As Flo @Max Power said .. a Chicano style black & grey sleeve would be an option

    or some Trash Polka

        You should also take a look at Jun Cha. Some of his black and grey work is absolutely insane.

          Give the portrait a nice frame, border or whatever to make a nice transition and go on with bold traditional tattoos. Choose some earthy colors for the next tattoos, just like brown and green, maybe red and yellow. That could work pretty nice with your portrait 🙂

            Thanks @Cutlasshound, lost a good 15 mins on Jun Cha' IG feed!

            I think you're onto something @JCMx800.  The right frame would help the transition to a more trad style.  It may be a bit tricky as the shading behind her head is more on one side than the other, but sure there's options.

            Feel a ton more hopeful for tomorrow's consultation now, thanks all[emoji106]

              Apparently it's a scientific fact that getting multiple tattoos can boost your immune system.

              So I expect @JCMx800 and @Max Power to live to be 150 years old. 😉

                I definitely second getting an ornate border. It will really help to frame the image. If I were you I would have a look at the ornate frames on old masterpiece paintings and if there are any that you like, get the tattooist to use image as a reference (if that is the route you wish to go down if course).

                The portrait is beautiful btw. Very well executed!

                  I feel like I've done a part of the dying while getting my asscrack tattooed haha. Anyway, that article was fun to read, thank you!

                    Hmm .. I think, it's high time to finish the bodysuit … can't feel any energy boost as yet.  😞  Dammit!  🙂

                      Thanks for the nice words, and the idea.  The frame idea is a winner, will likely go with a simple frame around the top and some flowers where the space is at the bottom right

                      Since the appointment yesterday though, I've had the idea of a stag's head under the portrait, with the antlers forming the bottom half of the frame.

                        Flowers are always a nice filler!
                        … sounds interesting with the stag.

                          First session, wasn't as hard as I imagined. (The choice of underwear is a coincidence).

                                        Looks amazing max!  Are you going with colour on it?  And @jcmx800- do you mean you just show up and get whatever the tattooist wants to do in a given space?
