I was gonna wait until this was fully healed to post, but I’m too excited and tbh all of the lines, snake colouring is all HEALED anyway. 

This was a very special project for me to create for Gab, as this was a way to bring continuity to existing works tattooed by my bestie @deankalcoff 
He’d be cracking jokes about me stealing clients off him, but then making sure I knew it was a joke by saying he really liked the colours, followed by “borrowing” said colours. 

Ty Gab. Means the world to me to create alongside him again. 

And snakes 🐍 love love love them. Spent the longest time thinking I wasn’t good at designing them. But here we are, pushing at self imposed limits. Perfect timing with Year of the Snake too.
