Tried something a bit different yesterday with this neotrad/realistic Valkyrie. It connects to a demon lady in the upper arm, so I'll post healed pics of it soon. It was a bit strange doing so many lines because you all know thats normally not my thing. But I think its important to step outside your comfort zone and keep things fresh. IMO too many tattooers nowadays find some type of niche, right out of the gate, and start leaning on that long before they've gotten the chance to really test their merit and hoan their skills as an artist, and specifically a tattooer. Many would disagree and say you're just wasting time by jumping from portrait, to lettering, to color, to black and grey...but I strongly believe that having spent time working in street shops for a decade, and working in all those styles is what allowed me to throw them all together to create the work I'm known for today. I came up in a different time of the industry so different train of thought I guess. But let me know how you feel on the matter, and if you all would like to see some illustrative elements in my future work. . . . . . #valkyrie#clt#charlotte#ncink#nctattoo#nctattooers#portraitoftheday#portraittattoo#neotraditional#neotraditionaltattoo#angel#angelic#warrior#warriorwoman#wings#filigree#hivecaps#cheyenne#fkirons#goodvsevil (at Seventh Sin Tattoo Company) https://www.instagram.com/p/BxgEuDxnMZ5/?igshid=1rhxca6rxq27h
