Tattooing a full leg in Vancouver: Day in the Life of a Tattoo Artist

Full Leg Sleeve Tattoo: First Session | Botanical Blackwork

Come spend a full day with me at studio in Vancouver, BC! In this video, I’m starting a really nice new project: a full leg sleeve in Botanical Blackwork, featuring a custom design of leaves flowing with the leg's anatomy.

This first session was all about the foundation. You’ll see the entire 19-ish-minute process, from the challenges of freehanding a large-scale on the leg to the first hours of linework.

Whether you are a buddy tattoo artist, a fan of botanical art, or someone looking to get a large-scale piece, this vlog shows the unfiltered reality of a long tattoo session.
