In much better news, I got this Dagon (HP Lovecraft) sleeve completed after roughly 6 months, and I couldn't be happier with it. There's still some healing that has to occur near the top of the head, so I'll be going back to my tattoo artist in a month for some professional, healed pictures, which I'll post later. This sleeve was done by Phil Holt at Redletter1 in Tampa, FL. Easily one of the most enjoyable tattoo experiences I've had and I look forward to next piece I'll be getting done by him.

Today we started this #shieldmaiden on my man Nick here at the world famous @redletter1tattoo . We powered through moSt of it loving these hella tite 3’s, all tweaker and what not. What a tough dude, thanks buddy! #henrylewistattoo #blackclawneedle #blackclaw #vikings #illustrativetattoo #valhalla #valhallarising #redletter1 (at REDLETTER1)
