Left Forearm Tattoo

I’ve had this design drawn up for several years now. Just waiting on Jarkko to do it. I’m currently working on one for my right forearm that is in a similar vein, but different.
I did this by plotting out my forearm, taping tissue to it, and drawing on roughly where I wanted the elements to go. Then I scanned that rough sketch and rendered it in Illustrator. It changed a fair bit as I worked on it, from where the initial sketch went. Time consuming yes, but I think trying to do this by hand would have been near on impossible.
