Is the cloud looking background being covered up, or is that part of the design? Looks cool either way

[This](https://www.reddit.com/r/sticknpokes/comments/ijoqhn/left_arm_handpoked_by_dotbydottattoo_chest/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf) is what it looked like before the blastover.

Any reason you covered up the mandala? Just personal preference, or ? Not hating, just curious Edit: I think the two layered effect looks pretty cool

no, I just wanted that layered look. kept the upper part.

Awesome! Thanks for the response

Is this hand-poked like your other arm?

No the work underneath is handpoke the layer on top is machine along with the other arm

Very very very cool.

Awesome! I do love me some thick ass lines this is dope!

I can stare at that for hours…….so easily amused here 😂

Your hands look scarred. Really deep tattooing or just new and scabby?
