Fresh ➡️ Healed.
A Japanese samurai warrior, done on a U.S. veteran. 🇺🇸⚔️
I tell clients that a tattoo isn’t judged the day it’s done—it’s judged after it heals.
Over a year to settle, and the details are still there. The expression, textures, background, contrast all healed well, complementing melanin skin, instead of fighting against it. Black & gray doesn’t have to disappear on darker skin. With the right approach.
