BECOMING

Black and grey realism sleeve shown from the side, featuring classical sculpture and architectural forms

The outer arm was completed over approximately 35 hours, across five consecutive days. The tattoo was developed from the forearm upward toward the shoulder.

The photographs document different stages of healing: the lower sections had already begun to heal, while the upper arm was freshly tattooed, showing some natural redness.
