The colors and 3D look on this jellyfish tattoo are really great. A fun tattoo subject, this jellyfish is enjoying some great placement on the shoulder. The artist has done a wonderful job of placing the tentacles on the shoulder and allowing them to simply float there. The air bubbles are well done and add [...]

As far as ‘real’ looking bird tattoos, this one should be ranged in the top 25% for sure! The Quetzal tattoo meaning has to do with both what the bird’s name means, as well as the behavior that it exhibits. The Aztec word “quetzalli” translates to ‘precious’ or ‘beautiful’. That is where the name Quetzal [...]

A very life like tattoo of three very real looking bugs. The first being the praying mantis in the middle of the tattoo with its large red eyes that really pop out from the rest of the colors displayed here. Then the grasshopper on the left, having fine detail on its body and legs. The [...]

This is quite the beautiful sakura tree. Its roots spread far and deep on and into the ground. With its branches old and twisted, along with its trunk, giving it that old, weary, character that resembles an elder person. As well as grace and peace, included as the overall feeling of this tree.

Wow. The cherry tree and its beautiful blossoms are usually highlighted during the day and surrounded by light and brightness. Rarely are they shown for their ethereal beauty by night. This sleeve is predominately gray, black and white – but the punches of pink color really help soften up the image. The clouds with stars [...]

Done by Stephen Hate of Old School Tattoo in Bellingham, WA., this tattoo has some lovely coloring in both the sky, sun and the blue of the waves. The purple of the evening sky is broken up nicely by the white clouds and that warm orange and yellow sun while the cool blue of the [...]

While this is not a simple vine down the back of this girl, it is a nice representation of a vine and some ‘not so simple’ foliage…like that seen in an English garden. Okay…you caught me, I’ve never been in an English garden – but this is a classic looking rendition of some green growth, [...]

Wonderful coloration throughout this tattoo – that is part “outer space” and part ‘meta-physical’ stuff. Doesn’t matter though, the rich colors of the outer realms is really eye catching. The blues are nice and deep, the stars are bright white, and the orange and reds is the planet, spaceship, and comet pop right off the [...]
