This sleeve is a a massive coverup of laser-lightened tattoos covering much of Carson Hill's arm, tattooed simultaneously by myself and Guy Aitchison. The project started by sending drawings back and forth, then moved to a quick collaborative painting of the final design, and finally to a pair of 2-day tattoo sessions at Hyperspace Studios. Some of the hardest coverup portions can use a third pass but for the most part, this is done. Many thanks to Carson, Guy, and Michele.
