So I havent posted a blog, dont normally like posting blogs. But hey, heres some updated piccies of my Norse sleeve.
2 hours in, linework finally finished.
...and a few hours after we finished.
All up it was a 6 and a bit hour sitting. I was silly and did it in one go. Wasnt to bad till I hit the wall at about 5 hours. Clint - my artist kept telling me he was almost done, he lied. He was also very nice and left the bit near the elbow till last.
Still havent got any finished pics as its a bit hard to take selfies at that angle.
As I said its part of my Norse sleeve, When that one is done, it will wrap my entire lower forearm with my Mjlnir. My family has a very rich Swedish history with roots tied back to kings during the Viking age. I am extremely proud of my Viking heritage and Norse mythology has always interested me so thats why Im heading down that theme.
As for that tattoo, it incorporates 4 peices of Norse mythology. Fenrir and Jrmungandr - the offspring of Loki. The World Tree Yggdrasil and lastly Odin's Ravens. Huginn and Muninn. I really didnt know what to get next - so I got something that covered a large peice of mythology.
Next I really want to get something dedicated to the Einherjar and the Valkyrie.
