I really hate the skinny fore-arms from HT, so I buffed them up using Magic Sculp. When dry I sanded the shape and made the arms smooth again. After that, 1 coat of base was added (Tamiya).

Ok now the fun part, it's tattoo-time!

I searched the internet for reference. Once I had enough, I sketched the tattoo on the arm using a pencil.

After that I painted the outlines using Vallejo Acrylic paint. This is the first layer so it looks a bit crappy right now. Once dry I'm going to add more tattoo's with the pencil, then paint them, let it dry, etc.
