My stripes

[Asha]

Hi folks.
These are my stripes... based on zebra stripes as I'm a bit of zebra print freak. They've been an ongoing project for around 2 years now, I've had around 10 two hour sessions so far and it's still not finished!





They go from my neck down to my elbows, and on the back they go across my shoulders and meet at the back of my neck. I just have the left shoulder left to fill now, and will be getting some more on my back to finish them in a V shape at my shoulder blades... so hopefully all finished in the next couple of months!!

very nice, how long did they take to have done?

So far about 20 hours in total!! I was lucky to find an excellent artist in London (Mr X - formerly of the band Sheep on Drugs) - unfortunately London is a two hour train journey from me so I can't visit very often

His black ink work is fantastic though, VERY solid.

I believe Mr X is no longer in Sheep on Drugs... he's a full time tattooist in London now. Has been for some years
