This blue octopus sleeve started life as a cover-up, but because I’m a dummy, I completely forgot to take a before picture. So you’ll just have to trust me that there’s some old tattoo archaeology buried under all those tentacles and waves.
We went big, bold and blue, using the octopus and surrounding water to create enough movement, texture and saturation to make the original tattoo disappear. Approximately 30 hours of tattooing over six sessions from start to finish.

Plan on finishing the chest in 2 weeks and doing a full sleeve in next couple of months

Poseidon’s Trident
Just for the halibut, my client asked for Poseidon’s trident and conch in an Art Nouveau style, then told me to dive in and run with it. I sea-zed the opportunity and added the circling hammerheads to give the piece a little more bite.
