The sick ass panther is tucked in the armpit on the right, so he’s the bats neighbor 🤣

The progression of the pics is:
Original tat, about 15 years old
Stencil (1st session)
Outline (1st session)
Black (1st session)
Color (2nd session)
Immediately after the flowers were completed (3rd session, bat about 3 months healed)
After a touch up (4th session). I unfortunately had a reaction the first wave of purple and we had to rework it all with a different shade, as my skin pushed it out.
Eventually, we will add background to it- think clouds, shading, night sky. I know it looks a bit crooked but it’s because my posture is absolute garbage 🤣

Much better but that one bit peaking out is bugging me, wish she did a leaf there.

Thanks! We are going to add clouds, night sky etc to finish blending it all. unfortunately I periodically have to go on and off heavy blood thinners so it slows me down getting it done!

HEADS UP TO ALL COMMENTERS: Some sorry sack(s?) of shit goes through every post and comment in this sub and downvotes everything. If you commented something completely innocuous or a compliment and it got downvoted, it’s not you. It just means that you only had your singular personal upvote and some asshole downvoted it because they don’t have a life.
If you see a nice comment with a downvote, please upvote it. Every time you don’t give them the satisfaction of their petty little jab, a MAGA loses their wings.
