Third sitting: http://fivebrandtattoos.com/large.jpg (half actual size) The inspiration and reference is a painting of the Hindu deity Nrsimhadeva: http://www2.memenet.or.jp/~iyashi/Nrsimhadeva.jpg -- I took the poster to Mike McMahon at Five Points Tattoo (where I work) and he did the line drawing from the poster. The first sitting was the line work, (which will disappear when finished to achieve a more painting-like look) then the face, then the robe. Next is the snakes. I'll keep you updated.
wow WOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!! that face is incredible. I agree I dont give high marks to unfinished tats but this one already gets high marks. PLEASE make sure to post the finished ink.
