Here it is healed. This tattoo took 4.5 hours to complete and cost $500 (before tip). It’s hand size… Thought it’d take 1.5 hours, but Eli milked it all day cuz the shop was dead. For reference, I have an equivalently sized snake on the other side and it took another artist 1 hour and cost $150. After several hours on the table, I was in a lot of pain and Eli rushed the finish, check that janky tail. This is my worst tattoo and im not proud of it… Got another tattoo since and the artist said “Man, he really did a number on you.” when i showed him this panther. I assume the shop will comment and blame me for not sitting well, but the fact is, they milked this tattoo to take almost all day cuz the shop was dead. It never should have taken so long or been rushed at the end.
