not really, but a story nonetheless. friend is usually on par with his tattoo and ink work done, but for some reason it took him 4.5 hours to do my outline on top of filling it in which was 2 four hour session, so if you do the math that's....some number equal to 12.5 hours. and it looked like poop, asked him to fix, and he refused to, asked him to do color, and just as much the same answer.

so here is ze before pic...mind you it's pretty much mashi topless, so enjoy it:

(side booooooooooob)

tuesday, went in, and oh looky, 2 hours later, i get this. so much better, march 8th he's adding color. =]  blues and some white to make it pop out.

and he had to pretty much go over the outline over and over and over just to make leo's work disappear, so kelly (the new artist that did this) basically had me feel like a tenderized piece o'meat.

also, when i get the new work done for my sleeve and other shoulder, i'll post up pics.

oh, and here's the illustration of "The Tempest", this is the original picture, so you can see where i'm going with this.
