Aaron,
Thanks......we did the outline for the cham then I went back in a couple of weeks later and did the fill in,that took 5 hrs.I might add 5 long hrs.
The mantis was not my idea,it was my tattoo guy's idea cause he had never done one before & thought it would be cool to finally be able to do one,so I was like what the heck lets do it.That one only took probably 3 hrs. because there wasn't as much detail.I will give him credit he is totally awesome & does excellent with color,he makes his own color combo.The kicker is he's only 23
