Aaaaaaand??

Come out nicely?

We didn't get to finish Aziraphale yesterday as we still had to get the dad on Professor Stegosaurus done, as well as Steg's tail completed. Very happy with the new addition so fat though Continuing in March. Here's the sleeve so far:

For you, or for him?

EDIT - just saw reply, thanks! I thought it was the 23rd for some reason.

Him!
He keeps reminding us

I wish it was me - have a need for a new one

You've obviously put a lot of time and thought, and research into it. I'd say you're sure.

Only if you take him some sweeties to chew on!

Or maybe he'd prefer a sucker to suck on!

Two years of finding the right artwork.. redrawing the art myself, over and over, making adjustments, going back to it, going to many studios and many artists, being sent from pillar to post, etc, etc..

Does it have a golden ring around it?

The studio sent me a PDF manual on aftercare, how nice, they say in there its OK to slap it to deal with itching, but I am not so sure that's a good idea, it might just disturb the ink

Lol....I can throw some at him

LOL good luck with that... they don't let non-patrons into the back

Pretoria folks.

Apart from True Blue. Who else would you highly recommend.

Wife is ready for her next but her regular artist at True Blue is booked way too far in advance for my impatient wife.

You can try A Fine Madness in Menlo Park (same centre as Capital Craft) as well, Monica does some really amazing work
