There’s a cover up in there. Planning on touching up here and there in a few months once it settles. Thanks for looking ✌️

Snake and chrysanthemum leg by me (ig: @coltonjamesphillips ) San Diego, Ca. USA

These photos were taken immediately after completing the color during the second appointment. My client flew in from Florida so I most likely willl not be able to get healed photos myself. Very grateful for his commitment and for traveling to get tattooed!

Snake and maples by me (ig: @coltonjamesphillips ) San Diego, Ca. USA.

These photos were taken directly following the 2 second session. Some of the background, snake scales and all the red is fresh. My client flew in from Hawaii and sat like a rock for both sessions. Do you guys prefer the natural light or the studio lighting?
