 breathe. Alright so I came in early today just so I can record this real quick so today's video is gonna be a little bit different I have a client coming in today that I'm doing Medusa on the inner thigh I've never done an inner thigh so I don't I don't know how that's gonna go and this client I did a whole project the whole outer sleeve project on him and it's been over a year no touch ups none of that I just one pass I think it took two days back to back I did it on a Monday and a Tuesday I think it took about 10 hours to get this done today's back-to-back so he got from here all the way to the ankle so no touch ups none of that I we just went at it one pass so this video I wanted to focus on fresh versus heel because I do get a lot of questions on my YouTube asking I want to see a heel then I want to see it after three months and I want to see it after a year I feel like people's perspective is that that tattoo is gonna look different when it heals and it's gonna get lighter and it is the case with a lot of artists depending on styles depending on how they tattoo if it's color black and gray or true grays as a client you want to make sure that that your piece is not gonna fade in a year you know or it's gonna look weird after like couple days after you got it done so today is the perfect is the perfect day for me to explain this and show you guys how a fresh tattoo looks next to a heel tattoo after a year I definitely wanted to address this topic and and really show you guys the way my work heals I'm not gonna be speaking for other artists because I don't I don't know the way they do their setup I don't know the way they tattoo I don't know their style you know so I'm only I'm only giving you guys my perspective and the way I tattoo and the way my tattoo is healed it's gonna be interesting I really I'm really gonna like this video because I couldn't find a way to explain it until now that I was like I'm getting this question a lot and I definitely want to like talk about this but I don't know how oh also drop a comment let me know what was your favorite part of this video and the best comment I'm gonna sell you some money so you can take your boyfriend out your girlfriend your wife your husband your family your kids whoever you want to take out for breakfast or dinner and I'm gonna sell you some money in the foodies on me the theme that I'm gonna be talking about today I'm gonna explain it in English because there are many comments that have left me in English where they ask me how my pieces are scarred and how they look after three months six months or a year so I'm gonna be explaining it in English basically what I'm gonna be explaining is this I have a client that will come today that I'm gonna do the part inside the leg and outside I did a project all the way from the outside of the leg and from all the belly and all that I did a big project that already has around passing the year that is already scarred so what I'm going to be explaining is how a fresh piece compared to a year of scarred scarred and let me know what is your favorite part of this video and the best comment I'm going to okay so let's start by showing you how the project looks like after a year and five months I'm really satisfied on how the tones and the contrast held up my favorite part about this project is that it looks more like a painting like if I was drawing with charcoal now I'm gonna show you a close-up of the whole thing so you guys can really see the tones and the transitions that I use I want you to pay attention to the white highlights now white highlights sometimes only sometimes can turn yellow because the tattoo is exposed to the Sun in this case my client took really good care of his tattoo and it really shows you know and he also has really good skin so now let's compare side by side fresh and healed and how much you changed this area right here is fresh and this area is healed notice that it did not change a lot I really like how it's hard to see where it's fresh and where it's healed I think the hardest part was remembering what tones that I used last time moving on to the face the face still looks a little bit red it's still irritated but I know once the redness is gone we will be able to see how the tattoo is gonna actually look like luckily I get to show you guys both faces and compare it I don't think I got nothing else to say so I hope this video answer your questions and if you have any more questions I'll try my best to answer it so now I'm just gonna show you the whole thing so enjoy
