Got to spend some more time with Steve Slaton today. Former RB for the Houston texans now playing for Miami and will be a free agent next month.
I owe a lot to Steve as he was the first Texan to get tattooed by me and it opened the door for me to be able to tattoo on my favorite football team.

This trip Steve decided to get an owl on the lower portion of his arm. I wanted to spend time drawing it up for him so I decided to bust out the sharpies and this is what we got done.
This was the drawing session started at 2:30 pm today

And here it is on a tri panel to see the entire drawing was laid out in one setting.
The total drawing time ended up being about 2 hours and 45 minutes.

I’ll post a finished product pic as soon as he comes back in.
We got a lot of the black and gray laid in and totally outlined after 9 hours.
Steve sat like the champ he is and we will be back in the chair in two weeks.
We will be blogging the scene as it unfolds…
