Totenkopf by Nate Dog @ Hardwire Tattoo in Wilmington, NC.
all black tat.
i've used Nate for a few pieces and highly recommend him. mainly the field of jaw-less skulls on my chest, an iron cross on my right ring finger, and a stylised cracked heart over my, well over my heart ;). the heart is the centre piece of something that has yet to be finished.
this was a stencil, because it is a very specific image. took about 45 minutes. he did embellish it with more detailed shading.
