Apologies.
Coincidentally, my dragon is what Google describes them as.
The blue parts are mixed with greens, grays, and whites. Again. It used to be far more impressive, but so was I, esthetically.~
It’s my only ink, that I had done with so many different types of needles. The artist literally called three different types he used “brush points.”(Haven’t heard that term before,or since.)
They were wide, with multiple needles. As I watched, and we talked, I noticed how he overlapped all the different colors. I was actually more than worried for the last three or four hours. It looked sloppy, and it didn’t look like his method was going to have my desired effect. However. After I had it burned in the ink laid down nicely, and the colors did indeed mix well.
The healing process was anomalous though. The whole thing kind of crusted up, and big colorful scabs fell off after a few days. The end result was great. It was just like the examples I saw on Google. As I mentioned though. It lost the yellows and whites that really made it pop. It still looks great, just different.
All my other ones were done with single needles, and gone over at least twice. They were far more painful, but they seem like they are deeper, or something. They all look precisely as they did when they were new.
The single needle method definitely takes way longer too…
