This is, to date, my favorite piece. The picture that the client brought in was so cool that it was easier to capture the personality of the subject in the tattoo itself. As the client said, "It show's everything that I remember my Grandpa being... from his hat to the front porch of his house."
It's about 9 inches tall and 7 inches wide and my first full length portrait and third attempt in full black and gray using gray wash with white highlights. I couldn't do this without my friend Micky who trusts me with her flesh and lets me do my thing (even if I don't really know what I'm doing).
