octopus sleeve tattoo- FINISHED

Joe's Colorful Kracken underwater destruction of dome-city's sleeve tattoo

apparently this guy took around 35 hours to complete? makes me feel slow, considering i know i hammered out the first few layers super fast like a boss., one of those epic clients that turned into a friend sort of scenarios, super cool dude, mad props for everything he endured to have my brains vision engraved into his arm.

this is a octopus smashing into glass dome city's, you can see some in the background to force a sense of perspective onto the viewer... he wanted the octopus to convey power, and strength.
probably one of the few tattoos i was able to layer so much on...

i really appreciate the outcome, pictures cant do these things justice, they can just give you a vague familiarity as to how its laid out, considering i shot these at 7pm at night in the back of the shop, fluorescent lighting i feel eludes cameras, and doesn't give you the full spectrum of light in the room, and its also extremely direct, which gives the gooey gross blood areas of the sleeve tattoo a glisten, or glossy look, opposed to the preferred matte finish of healed skin, which, there are definite parts of this tattoo that are healed up just fine for the pictures of this delicious end to such an awesome project on such an awesome Joe, of the Gilmore clan, and or tribe.
