This one is a bit of a blast from the past, but worth reminding about it. It was her first tattoo, so very brave girl to begin with. She wanted a coverage of the full side of her back. I was very surprised as usually for first tattoos, clients prefer to start small and build it up. So I was worried about letting her understand the process, patience and dedication needed in order to have a large tattoo. I was sure to be clear that only sticking through the process, you will get the end result. Specially with full back tattoos, not everything will look clear straight way, specially with the way I work, I build everything like a paint, so first, I apply a simple basic layer and add to that later, giving the skin the chance to heal, and go back to it. I don’t believe in damaging the skin so much, so I ask my clients to come back for a second pass. Anyway, all that worry I had with this tattoo, it went completely out of the gate, as she was very patient and had faith in the process. Sometimes clients really surprise me, with how young they are and how sensible they are, willing to put the time needed to have a nice tattoo. With this black and grey tattoo, we tried to achieve a mix of realistic and fantasy style to it. Follow me on Instagram/louissantostattoo.Thank you for reading.
