Hey Jean, I heard Beth mention my name. This is my input regarding the tattoos. First, hats off to the artists who worked on his right arm.

His tattoos are several sittings, hours upon hours of work. He looks way too young to have a faded tattoo on his chest. It'll fight with the newer one, and give it the appearance of a jailhouse or kitchen job. I think it'll help with the proud feeling by bringing it back to life. It may also signify an important part of his life, so I guess you should ask him if you could take the liberty of 'fixing' it for him.

There's just something about the expression not fitting in for me. It's just a personal thing, the smirk does'nt feel right with the pose. Then again, I don't like smiles. A more serious expression would give it a different feel. A more serious theme should bring a change of the background tho. Maybe that's what you're looking for, a more playful appearance. If so, I'll be quiet.

If you're looking for a young (ok, I'm slightly older), cute (ok, I'm not that either) tattooed (that I am!) model,...............................just kidding. I do plan on getting more work done within the next two weeks, chest and ribs, only if I can take the pain.

Chris, let's see yours!
