This lady had an old tattoo of a bee that was done very poorly. She didn't think it was possible to fix because of what prior tattoo artist had said when they saw it, but i said it would be fun, so she got very excited. I started by drawing on it with sharpie marker just making the bee a little more defined and easy to see, and changing a few aspects like the eyes and legs. I forgot to take pics before i drew on it, so sorry you can't see exactly what it was, but you get the idea. I freehanded the rest of the design around it making it living in an environment. Done at the Body Art Expo in Del Mar, ca, took 4 hours.
