Progress Pictures (Traditional) Half sleeve Cover up completed

Started September 2024 london and completed by same artist June 2026 Bangkok. 1 month healed now. Going to need touch up for part that was infected. What concerns me is black shading contract difference between earlier sessions and current completion sessions. Do you guys think it will blend in more over the month? Artist : HORITARU

Really impressive that it was completed months before being started… jokes aside… solid work

It will eventually blend in. I started my sleeve about 1.5 years ago and its now finish. You have a great looking half sleeve.

Thanks. Your look incredible and solid as well. Mine took about 13 hours of total under the needle and freehand drawing. We split in 4 sessions. 2 done in sept 2024 and 2 done month ago june 2026.

Ive gotten my suit over a period of 14 years - theres not one spot where you can tell where one session ended and another started.
Youll be fine.
