the half sleeve was completed by a spanish inker simply called "El" as in "the". lol
i am currently on a 10 day break in malaysia attending 2 weddings and celebrating several birthdays. got my mate to hook me up with Boreno ink and get some tattooing for myself and the wife. we were very luck that they were able to accommodate us on such short notice.
"El" was travelling and was on a short tenure and i happened to be his last client before leaving the shop. luckily for me he was an experience and as you can see and outstanding artist. additionally lucky because i'd forgotten to ask to see his profolio before starting.
anyway, i'd simple provided him with all the ideas and designs i'd had in mind and gave him fall reign. after the sketching state i knew i was going to be happy with the find produce.
so between a 7 and and 2 hour sessions, the upper arm was completed. considering i was sick and unwell entering the inking session, the pain seemed to have been magnified.
but at the end of the day is all worth it.
so here is the final produce if anyone is interested.
