So i got this coloured in.

looks better in real life, plus taking a photo of your own forearm isnt as easy as it sounds!
the UFO got added in and is yet to totally finish healing, but the rest is pretty much done and healed.


now...
who wants to give me free stuff for having such a rad tattoo!?

Robert Johnson, grandfather of the blues. Good choice for a tattoo, looks like it was very well done too!  8)

he's shaded!
would you rather I had him coloured with a big block of brown?

it actually caused a discussion in the shop, the best way to shade his face and hands.
its done really well. its hard to have a conversation about it without sounding racist though.

Awesome stuff dude.

You could always wet an OXO cube and rub that on him every morning if people are being pedantic about him not being 'black'...


...or not!
