This is really nice. The shading is so pretty on the flowers and on the women’s face. She has a bit of a haunting gaze and is quite serious as she peers out from the client’s arm. Unfortunately, we don’t have information on the inspiration or meaning of this tattoo, but sometimes that’s not the [...]

Here is a really cool Celtic Viking tattoo, complete with an axe, horned helmet, and skull belt. Around him are a different array of light colors from the sky behind him, such as the red-orange and golden yellow on the outside and the light blue and purple on the inside. The Celtic stone circle around the Viking [...]

I do really wish I knew the story behind this tattoo…as she is certainly intriguing, interesting and different. Her face is beautifully done, smooth contours and fine details in the eyes, nose and mouth bring her to life…well, not quite…but still! With flowing hair, her crown is slightly askew while her lantern earring dangles quietly. [...]

The client for this piece asked for either a girl, or perhaps an owl…so artist Christina Garcia of Orlando, Florida gave him both! Meet a very somber ‘owl girl’. The artist, Christina, has a bit of a dark feel to her work. Nonetheless, her pieces are a nice mix of small details, great perspective and [...]

I almost don’t even know what to say about Jun Cha’s work. He is an unbelievable artist and has a scope of work at his websites…including some incredible photos of his own. This portrait is incredible. Her hair has an interesting dimension…with shading and layout that creates part of the framing for the entire piece. [...]

“You talkin’ to ME?” Yeah, I’m talking to you! Uh, Mr. de Niro, sir… :0) This is an incredible portrait done of the actor, Robert de Niro, on the back of the client’s knee. Interesting placement, but an amazing tattoo, nonetheless. Done by Cecil Porter of Murietta, California, the portrait captures the essence of de [...]

Incredible work on such a small scale! This tiny tattoo done on the area between the knuckle and the first finger joint was done by Ben Grillo of Oceanside California. This grimacing man is extremely well detailed, especially for being such a small tattoo. The ears, eyes, nose and mouth are all very distinct. The [...]

This is a certainly more modern looking Geisha tattoo – but we don’t mind, do we? Reportedly done by the infamous Kat Von D of the TV show, “LA Ink” and the owner of High Voltage Tattoo, it does appear to be done by a truly skilled artist. Portraits are always hard to do, no [...]
