This is a beautifully done sleeve tattoo of two elegant lotus flowers. One being in a three dimensional view and the other in a two dimensional view. I really like the way the way the water ripples, around the top lotus, in three dimensional layers that go above the flower itself. Even though it’s not [...]

Perhaps this is a scene from another world, as it appears to be some water with rock formations at the bottom of the tattoo scene toward the wrist.

The colors in this sleeve are very well balanced between muted and vibrant. There is plenty of magic in this sleeve, starting with a gnome happily sitting on a mushroom while a bee flits by, checking out the flowers along the way.

Some of the most vibrant and highly colored work around! Andrew Sussman of DermalGrafix in Escondido, CA does not disappoint. His color work is inspired, as seen by this profusion of exotic lilies, tropical frogs and a hummingbird. The bits of blue strategically placed around the flowers is a great way to help the colors [...]
