Hannya mask Japanese leg tattoo progress

I started this project last month, a whole upper-leg Japanese tattoo project for my long-time client Tawn. We started with this Hanna mask and snake tattoo, we were able to get the line work and black shading in about 3.5 hrs. In our second session, we did a Daruma doll tattoo on his knee. Daruma dolls are a traditional Japanese representation of Bodhidharma, a Buddhist monk. They are seen as a symbol of perseverance and good luck, alongside with the concept of setting and achieving goals.
