Finished up this full leg sword for the very tough @savannahjamiex 🫶🏻🖤
I lowered the saturation in the photos as understandably getting the back of your knee shaded was gonna turn super red and angry 😅
It’s a very sensitive area to have tattooed of course

In honour of The Legend of Zelda 40th Anniversary I wanted to jump on the bandwagon and share a collection of TLOZ I’ve done over the years, some from earlier in my career, and everything in between to this year, I love this franchise so much and I can’t wait for Ocarina of Time remake! 🧚‍♀️ ✨
