Got to put the finishing touches on this one for Marc yesterday. 80% healed work, 20% fresh.
This was genuinely one of the funnest pieces I’ve gotten to work on this year, hope to do more like this in future ✨

Ornamental back piece from way back. Absolutely loved mixing some heavier linework and decorative elements in with the softer florals taken in San Diego, California by @robmcdowelltattoos

Spartan warrior for Casey to symbolize a career in service and protection of others.
Thank you so much for traveling in for this piece and trusting me with your first 🙏🏼
I really enjoyed mixing a little sketched fineline style with microrealism in this piece to give it the feel of a drawing coming to life on the skin. Would love to do more of these 🙌🏼
