Most of it is fully healed. Only part of the wing is freshly done. The true quality of a tattoo should be judged by how it looks after it has healed and whether it retains its details well.

The client’s old tattoo is not centered on the head, so while keeping the overall design centered, I also need to make sure the old tattoo is properly covered. That’s why I adjusted the placement by hand to keep the flower in the middle while achieving the best cover-up result.
This is a very painful area to tattoo, and the client was amazing and cooperative throughout the entire process. The client only wanted the flower and trusted me with the rest of the design and execution.

A tattoo of the client’s cat with a futuristic mechanical design, creating the illusion that it’s crawling up and down the arm. A very unique and interesting piece. 🐱⚙️✨
