              @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.

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

                    @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 It takes a lot out of you! My last one was about 4 hours of heavy American traditional work, and it was brutal. I can't imagine getting back-to-back tattoos like you're doing. The results are clearly working for you though. Is the snake something relatively recent, or was that there before you started working on your head?

                            @seawolf 3-4 hours is more than enough for one session for me. I usually do 2-2.5 on my head. The snake was originally started 10 years ago and was subsequently fixed and finished last month.

                                @Oaktavia WOw!! That fill work really adds so much cohesiveness to the whole dome piece. Really love how it ties it all together.

                                In the easy chair with my boots on, melted whiskey in my hand. Could'na been asleep for more than three hours...time to go to work again...
