Inkful start of 2018 - spiky shell for Cat. Way too dark, way too fresh. Can’t wait to see it healed

It’s my first tattoo, and I’m no artist.. interested in your feedback about the technical skills and artistic execution that went into this, thanks! I only came in with the idea (a realistic monkey hanging off the back).
It’s definitely a monkey hanging off your back! I think it can be nice for artists when clients come in with loose ideas because they can interpret it and make sure you get something that works well. Which I think you did! The grays are really soft and definitely create a texture. I like the highlights in the eyes especially! And the artist didn’t go overboard with the black, so it won’t age badly (I know I always say to outline and use black, but too much black can also be a bad thing). I hope you like it! I do! - manatee mod
