One of my favorite pieces.
I changed the hairstyle, added dimples and rings — all designed around the client’s own personal features to make the tattoo feel more unique and true to him.

This was a tattoo my client got a few months ago, but he wasn’t fully satisfied with how it turned out. He asked me to rework it by adding more details and depth to make the whole piece feel more dimensional and complete.
Since the Gundam is meant to have a mechanical body, I started adding armor plating and small structural elements to enhance the machine-like texture and overall flow. Today I only worked on part of the upper body — the rest will be added gradually in future sessions.
This is going to be a huge project, and I’m excited to see how it all comes together. Stay tuned for the progress.

Sometimes a cover-up happens naturally, without forcing it — flowing like water, soft and effortless. Covering the lettering beneath the flower while making the hand feel fuller without looking overcrowded.
