Tattoo is finished
I went in for my final appointment today. Dropped the artist that had originally worked on the tattoo as she was no longer considered reliable (forgot my appointments, changed shops 3x in 6 months, and her cell was no longer operational). Luckily the guys over at Revalation Tattoos were willing to finish out the contract. We were able to get the remainder of the work done in 1.5 hours and fix a lot of the mistakes that were made on the original piece. Here is how it looked when the work was just finished:
The reddish tint on the underbelly was just blood seeping out.
Total time taken over 3 sessions: 9 hours
How long it should have taken: 1 session for a total of 2.5-4 hours
Thankfully I did not pay for this on an hourly or a per session rate.
