A little video of the steps on this super fun octopus arm

A little video of the steps on this super fun octopus arm. I loved the freedom and faith she had in me. Most of the sessions would be very little drawing or sometimes just straight to the needle. She just gave me total freedom to do whatever as long as it was an octopus. She also had a bad scar on the back of the arm. I decided we should make something she was unhappy with one of the cooler areas of interest so I really played with the trident to disguise the scar and make it fun to look at. I really wanted to jump back and forth between stylized and realistic with this piece to land on something dynamic and fun. Thanks for looking. As always done with @fusion_ink and @inkmachines #cecilporter #portlandtattoo #portlandtattooartist #ink #inked
