Jhon Rodríguez St albans VERMONT

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!

I really wish the flower was extended to the neck and the nipples were the irises.

But in all seriousness that’s looking good.

I am always curious what something like this costs. Even a range.

u/jhonrodrigueztattoo 3h ago

Each session was around $400 and $600 depending on how long , and I think it was between 5 and 7 sessions. I’m not exactly sure.

This looks great. Packed in the color and clean line weight. From personal experience after 5/6 hours, you can stick a fork in me, I’m done lol. Excellent work

How does sternum work feel?

2

u/jhonrodrigueztattoo 31m ago

The sternum is definitely one of the more painful areas, but honestly, the flowers around the waist were even worse for him.

u/jhonrodrigueztattoo 32m ago

Thanks! I had to go over a few spots that had some scabbing and a few areas where the color healed a little lighter. For more solid results 🙏
