Tattooing a Viking Leg Sleeve | My 2-Day Process

00:00 Intro 00:50 Preparing the Skin & Stencil 08:22 Where I Start the Tattoo 09:00 Tattoo Process – Day One 11:05 End of Day One 14:05 Starting Day Two 15:28 Tattoo Process – Day Two 15:40 End of Day Two 16:58 Outro In this video, I take you through two days of work on this Viking leg sleeve and give you an insight into my workflow, thought process and some of the decisions I make while working on a large-scale tattoo. I start with preparing the skin and applying the stencil before showing you where I choose to begin the tattoo and why. From there, you'll see the tattoo develop across two full days, including parts of the process in real time, a short time-lapse, and the progress at the end of each session. This isn't a step-by-step tutorial, but rather a look inside how I approach a large-scale piece like this after 19+ years of professional tattooing. The leg sleeve is still a work in progress, with more sessions to come.
