How long does it take?
It may seem simple at a glance, but designs like this often take more time than expected.
Each line needs to be clean and tightly controlled, and when using light, high-chroma colours for linework instead of solid blacks, it can take more than twice as long.
The paper heart at the bottom required carefully layering multiple shades to create a crumpled texture, and because the design combines several different styles, each section called for a different technique.
From lining to filling to colour adjustments, everything had to be done step by step with attention to detail.
💡 Tattoo time depends more on detail, colour, composition, and placement than just the size.
Total working time: over 8 hours
