Here's a photo of the recent/re-inked cardinal tattoo, taken by the artist right after he finished the work:

Wow, that's really nice! Very crisp.

Gorgeous! Great colour. Will it stay that bright, or was that just the right-after-the-re-inking state?

[redbird]

Thank you.

That's just the right-after-inking stage, when there's ink in my epidermis; once that part heals/flakes off, it won't be as bright, but it should still be much brighter than the faded version I'd gotten used to in the last couple of years. (The sun is the enemy of tattoos, and I haven't always been diligent about sunscreen.)

Very nice.
The detailing is really impressive.

Well, it looks terrific.

Oh, that's sharp. Hope it's feeling better by this point!
