        @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

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

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

                    @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.
