Fresh ink still healing from my last session with Thomas Hooper

Anonymous asked: can you explain what exactly black work means? you recently posted a fear and loathing tattoo and I'm just wondering why it doesn't exactly qualify. thanks!
There isn’t really a set definition, the main things that show up a lot in what are broadly considered blackwork are some or all of the following.
So while I did think that was a rad as fuck tattoo, it’s a little too illustrative and uses shading techniques that aren’t really emblematic of the general “genre” of blackwork.
This was done by a friend of mine who no longer practices in a shop. It was suggested to me that I post it here by a total stranger.
Done in Monticello, Illinois
This took about 5 hours spread out over 2 sessions.
Not technically blackwork but I’ll let it slide cause I fucking love fear and loathing.
