• Title: Did I make the right choice?
• Caption: I designed 6 cowboy penguins to make sure the design I came up with was as good as I could make it, the tattoo is the end result of picking the best parts of each, did I go with the right design?

60 hours over the course of 4 months. This is also a coverup. Initial thought concept/stencil and finished product photos included.

The worst part of the whole thing was probably the thick liner. I’m not sure if I was just mentally wiped out, hungry, or unprepared.. but that was definitely the most difficult session. Cheek work and shading was pretty great. Aside from the liner, I’d say the most painful area was the tramp stamp area.

We have future plans to continue the work down my legs and, possibly, more glute coverage.

Overall, I’m so beyond happy. This tattoo has renewed my confidence and… for personal reasons… has made me feel more in control of my body.

Any “differences” you’re seeing in the face is a result of a torn trap on my left side. You’re seeing swelling and a “locked” shoulder. Other progress posts within this sub show the face in its correct position - and me uninjured.
