    I think thats lovely as it is. Maybe thicken up and clean those lines, but leave all the colour as it is.

    Nice simple design.

    I’d forgetton how much I adore tiger lillies before I saw this tattoo. Its beautiful – I can’t wait to see the final product.

    But the question is, is it finished? I think it’s AMAZING, if it is. Filling in the lines may actually detract from the simplistic beauty.

    It looks beautiful.
    Quite a simple idea but absolutely stunning.
    I’d like to see this finished.

    -No, its not finished, it is a work in progress. Being on my ribcage, it hurts so much to get done, so I can usually only sit for two hour sessions. Only one more left!
    -We do intend on going full colour, as well as cleaning up the lines.

    For the month after he completed his apprenticeship, I think he did an awesome job. Tiger lilies have always been my favorite flower, and he got them exactly how i wanted!

    That is gorgeous. My mom loves tigerlillies so I had to show her, she said it was one of the prettiest she’s ever seen and she isn’t really a tattoo fan.

    Beautiful tattoo. Once its done I am sure it will be stunning. I have always wanted a tiger lily tattoo. I was born and raise in saskatchewan and left after high school. I wanted to get the lilies as a shout out to where i came from (seeing as tiger lilies are saskatchewan’s provincial flower). I hope mine will look as good as yours….wow.

    I think its beautiful!! The color is amazing!! Just the right amount to make it really pop…

    I am getting a tattoo of easter lilies for my birthday, in remembrance of my grandmother who past when i was younger. They were her favorite flower.

    I hope my tattoo artist does as great of a job as yours did!!!
