This is an upper leg sleeve tattoo I designed for Doug Macfarquhar. Doug asked for the design to include a girl sitting on a stool paying an acoustic guitar with a microphone, surounded with music notes. And for it to look like a stage setting with other instruments around her. He also requested that it be coloured in mostly black, gray and red. But to make her eyes green and hoop earings gold.
