Right I've soaked the leather in boiling water I've rubbed it scratched it you name it even screwed it up in my hand and nothing pics to show

Back to normal and no difference to the artworks and bearing in mind I have put nothing on top of the artwork to protect it yet.

Thats good, loads of avenues this could be taken, do you have any other designs, not just scrolls, as it would be good to see some images with colour as well.

Loads of endless designs I'm a tattoo artist so no shortage there colour designs I can do I reckon just waiting on some leather to show all what can be done I would imagine colour designs only worth doing on natural leather as dye may not show up the colours

I was under the impression that by law tattoo needles had to be disposed of after use in the professional enviroment..!? Atleast that's what I was told by a local tattoo artist.

Mind you, it does make way for a custom hard damasteel tattoo needle for our boy Trev to look forward too for xmas! ;)

Only if blood born pathogens are present this leather has been dead for quite a few years fella so no blood involved takes that out of the equation I solder theses needles up specially for this job of tattooing leather

I like presents :lmao:
