A Little Guy

I added this flash butterfly above an already existing tattoo. It's nothing special, but I liked it. While I was finishing up, I realized my comfort level was higher and I was curious why the process went faster... then I realized that I'm slowly building experience.

I've never done this exact butterfly, but I've certainly tattooed butterflies on people. With a little bit of experience behind my head, I'm able to have a mental idea of what the final tattoo will look like.

Having a mental image of a final product is nothing new. I see it in my head. But being able to see a complete image and then translate that to how it might look and transfer onto skin is something completely new.

The same with mixing color. I'm in the birthing stages of understanding what works visually, but having messed with it before, it becomes a matter of trusting and applying what I've learned into the wings of a tiny, flash butterfly.

I'm just excited to keep letting it all develop.
