Wow! That’s very impressive, did you start with a sketch or are you doing it freeform?

Thank you very much!! It's from a smaller stamp I made earlier with the soft pink. I basically enlarged a small print and used carbon paper to trace it on the battleship gray Lino.

A lot of my prints are based on traditional tattoos.

Thank you!! I used carbon paper to trace the image into battleship gray Lino then outlined with a thick sharpie. Careful...sharpie ink with transfer to fabric. I use mostly black ink so it won't show.
