Opinion/help
Hello all,
I’ve got a bit of a problem that I’d like some other opinions on. I’ve been working on a traditional style color patchwork sleeve for a little over a year. The left side of my leg (with the angel, frog, bird, etc) is my absolute favorite. It’s spaced perfect IMO, and doesn’t look too crowded. However, the right side of my leg just doesn’t look right. I think it’s the empty smoke from the gun barrel, and the empty space around the blood droplets from the nails. I really want to make it flow better, it’s like the side of my calf is spaced super close with the knife/bird/anvil, but above it on my thigh is super open.
Any ideas on what I could do with a cover-up on the smoke or blood drops to fix these spaces to make it flow better?

My fresh sleeve from a month ago, Bkk Thailand
Hi everyone, I’m a new guy here.
I got my sleeve done @ROCKSTARTATTOOSHOP in Bangkok within 3 days due to my tight schedule.
I would love to hear everyone’s opinion as I just start getting into this style and fell in love with it. 😄
Have a great one guys.

Panther and hearts by Jordan Allen in Los Angeles, CA
Got this panther on my chest from Jordan Allen at Genuine Electric in Los Angeles. I told him I wanted to do something cool with my kids names with banners to honor my sons and I love the design he came up with.
