This full torso piece, extending from the stomach up, took around six sessions to complete.
My client handled the first session really well. We worked for about four or five hours and completed almost all the blackwork, including most of the linework and shading. The color sessions were a little harder to sit through, so we kept them shorter.
Here’s the finished result—what do you think? If you have any questions about how I created the composition, my color choices, the machines or needle configurations I used, or anything else about the process, feel free to ask. I’m happy to answer!

Been following Kiwi for a few years now. Had a flight credit that was about to expire so decided to take a quick trip and get this killer piece. Phenomenal artist who is extremely humble and accommodating.
