@Daniel-San thanks man I'm stoked. I'm deciding now if I want to fill the sides now with more purple clouds and red stars. Not sure if I want to go that route or not. I'll post more photos in a few days.

I binge through my tattoo work like a madman. How do you think I got this covered? Lots of torture.

Stoked to see what you get next too!

I’m all for shitty tattoos. Those tell a better story than something done by a better artist. That said, they should be small, easily hidden and surrounded by better ones.

The snake cover up is outstanding Stevie. Glad islts over with.

@Oaktavia
this was the first session on the convention I told you about. on the second we’ve done half of the clouds and some background filling, no pictures yet. will do a little update after round 3

[Oaktavia]

@Matt well said my friend and thank you. That snake was an embarrassing burden for far too long. It was a big deal to me to finallt fix it.

Here are some more photos I took today.

[Oaktavia]

When I can remember, I asked my artists for the stencils from the tattoo. I usually forget but today I remembered. I frame them and hang 'em oh my wall.

@Daniel-San solid work buddy

Blue bees, purple clouds and multi colored stars today. ️ Next session is in the end of March and will be the final session to complete the dome. Almost there.

@Oaktavia That dome/head is fantastic The hummingbirds are the best.

[Oaktavia]

@twin thanks so much man I love the hummingbirds too. I put out a few feeders in the spring and summer in our backyard. I see them every day and can hear them buzzing and chirping all around. I watch them fly up into the trees in the forest around our house. It's amazing how far I can see them fly. Sometimes they get very close and the buzzing is quite loud.

[Brock]

You are a fucking badass @Oaktavia
How many hours of needles knocking your skull??

[Brock]

Here’s a couple new ones for me…

[Jord]

@Oaktavia You're giving me the bug... gotta get my legs finished, haha

[GraemeE]

@Oaktavia dude EPIC DOME

[Oaktavia]

@Mister_Brue yes it brings me joy to see it working as one cohesive piece now and yep same on the other side around the hummingbirds to wrap it all up.

@Brock thanks homie guessing 16-17 or so hours with 2ish more to go. I dig your work as well those are cool. My FIL calls me Steve-O as my first name is Steven and my last name starts with an O. I dig the grapes too I like fruit tattoos i want to get more and some veggies somewhere.

@GraemeE thanks man I'm so happy with it

Legs have a lot of room more than I thought when I was getting mine done. Legs for daze.

[Matt]

I neglect my legs for some reason. I think I’ll need to focus on them this summer.

[Oaktavia]

@Matt thighs in particular have a ton of room. Like back patch sized pieces. I remember seeing the stencil for one of my big side-of-thigh tattoos and thought holy shit that's big. Goes from knee to hip.

@Oaktavia you’re going hard with the tattoos and it all looks fantastic!
