finally got to touch up the 2nd tattoo i ever did on a human person! ("before" photo screengrab from insta)

truly incredible to remember how far I've come. biggest thanks to all my wonderful friends who were an integral part of my learning process 🫶

after touchup! a single-line cerberus tattoo, with a red fineline pomegranate added at their request. i thickened some of the lines and added some line weight to create a brush-pen effect to cover my errors without making the whole outline too thick.

before the touchup! the tattoo was supposed to be fineline but it was very inconsistent, faded in some areas and blown out in others.
