The original Sheldon tortie tattoo was highly detailed & very realistic.
When first created in honour of my African Leopard Tortie, you could see
every scale, every fine detail on his face, etc... but as time wore on,
the ink under the skin began smear, so about 10 years later, I went to my
favourite artist, Jamie, & the Silly Shelly Belly Tattoo was created ~

Shelly Belly died a few years after the original tatt was created ~ He was
my very first tortie & I loved him from a hatchling all thru his short life ~
