This is my first attempt at making a slide show. It is of my personal Tattoo collection, I hope you enjoy it and please leave comments. Thank you Roy J. Keller http://www.royjkeller.com
- 1. Roy's Tattoo Slide Show
- This slide show is of my personal Tattoo Collection, the full
front panel & the full back was done by world famous Debbie
Lenz this piece Has two pieces of flash at the top & the rest
is all custom, I sat for 22 hours over 7 sittings
2. Roy's Tattoo Slide Show
- Here you can see world famous Debbie Lenz putting in the color
inks on my full back tattoo
- In the first sitting she inked the entire outline & half
the shading
3. Roy's Tattoo Slide Show
- In the second sitting Debbie finished the shading & started
to apply the color inks on the side that had been all shaded in the
first sitting. This way she could work the side that had two weeks
to begin to heal
4. Roy's Tattoo Slide Show
- With the shading on the left side having two weeks to heal she
can now start to color in that side while the right side has
another week to heal some before the final touch up down the middle
to finish the full piece.
5. Roy's Tattoo Slide Show
- Once the bulk of all the color has been put in Debbie will then
do all the small areas down the middle that she so carefully stayed
away from during the early stages of healing and she can do any
needed touch ups
6. Roy's Tattoo Slide Show
- Seven months after healing I entered my first Tattoo Expo
competition in Pittsburgh,Pa. Oct. 2000, though I did not win I did
make it into the April 2001 issue of Tattoo Magazine & I took 2
ndplace full back in Liberty, Oh. 2 months Later

9. Roy's Tattoo Slide Show
- This chest piece is made up of both flash and custom design
total time of 14 hours in two sittings the longest sitting was 10
hours which I will never do again nor do I suggest anyone sit for
that long.
10. Roy's Tattoo Slide Show
- This part of my full front panel is flash
- The full front panel is set in the Native American Theme
- Both my wife & I have a heritage in N.A. Though we could
not verify which nation either of us belong
11. Roy's Tattoo Slide Show
- For those that may not understand flash is art that can be
found in any artist's studio around the world as long as they have
purchased the flash
12. Roy's Tattoo Slide Show
- I was not able to locate the original pictures of the finished
full front panel so I had to take new picture this week and the
quality of the shots are not that good so I do apologize for
that
13. Roy's Tattoo Slide Show
- Another shot of my full front panel though the picture quality
is not very good, I guess I need to buy a digital camera since the
old 35mm seems to failing me of late.

but again I was not able to find those pictures.
