What's black, white, and red all over? MY BACK!

These are the colors so far; I had to stop at that point because my pain tolerance wasn't holding up, and while it looks good, I'm considering having the rest of the sky done as a light blue when I'm healed up, so as to make the skeleton stand out.

I'm really pleased with it so far!

LB's tattoo now has colors! The sun, its rays, and the hearts are all blood red; the waters are gray (though with an illusion of redness due to healing skin underneath) and the night sky is black. The bony lady's laurels are green.

The waters will be gray when I'm fully healed; the seeming color tint is because I'm healing underneath.

This is looking beautiful! The color really pops.

What color were you originally planning on doing the sky as?

Originally, I didn't plan on colors at all, but just keeping the lines in black and white. Then I changed my mind over time, and since my other tattoos only come in black, white, and red, stuck with that color scheme.

But I think this one could use a little more.

Thank you! So far it hasn't been too bad, but we'll see what happens when the itchies descend!

I feel like color tends to hurt more, but I have no idea why.

Maybe because it's more skin area covered? Search me!

This is beautiful, and far less inflamed-looking than I was expecting!

ugh a mood, the outline is a lot easier than the fill-in!
