Current progress on ’s forearm, utilizing a thick sweeping swath of Kudzu to cover up a tattoo I did a decade ago. I think hearing that might shock some people - WHAT, you cover your OWN work?
Yes! People are allowed to grow, to change, it’s inevitable. And sometimes tattoos need to be changed to accommodate new outlooks, new perspectives, new information. Sometimes a client outgrows a tattoo, sometimes they might have learned the content the tattoo was based on holds ideologies they were previously unaware of and don’t want to be associated with. It doesn’t mean they didn’t like the work I did for them, the experience, or me haha
And honestly I’m honored that I’m now and again trusted enough to cover my own previous work, I actually take it as a huge compliment rather than an insult, and I’m so happy with how this one is turning out already! Thank you for looking 🥰
