Thanks for this. Always much love and respect for elegantly tattooed women, but I’m presently non tattooed and a gal pal is gently prodding me to consider recreating a piece of Ralph Steadman’s unique illustration style which I love so much too. Yeah, I know it’ll hurt, Steadman’s art is uniquely detailed creating a multidimensional effect. Saving up for it now. Can’t wait to see your own!
