Great start to this floral sleeve. Done over three days @sacredtattoostudio Thanks for coming out Ashley! This was super fun.

It feels like I’m on the tail end of a lot of large projects right now. It’s always wild reaching the finish line when you’ve spent so much time on something. It’s been common that a full sleeve has taken somewhere between 50-70 hours. I cannot thank my clients enough for their dedication and trust in my vision. I appreciate you guys endlessly. @sacredtattoostudio

Finished this really fun, abstract skull yesterday! My client was initially attracted to trash polka, which is pretty far outside of my wheelhouse. I think we arrived at a really cool middle ground. Thanks for the trust Branden! @sacredtattoostudio
