My old friend Thor at Yonge Street Tattoos in Toronto did this almost airbrushed looking blue, white, and black-fade tribal piece. This photo was taken two days after he did it.

Generally not a fan of tribal tattoos, but this one is very nicely done. I’m impressed.

I’d go with #1. This is probably my favorite tribal that I’ve seen. I haven’t seen too many blue, let alone with a great fade like this.

Well, apart from PHWOOOAAAAAAR, I really like the way I can’t tell where the tatt starts and finishes; the white connecting the front from the back is just on the edge of visibility.

I always thought certain tribal on some people looked good[big pieces, not just small little armband] I’m really liking this mainly because of the color and the way it jumps out at me[and the fact it does look painted on in certain parts] very niiiiceee

It’s amazing to see how just changing the color of something as common as a tribal piece makes it pop and look completely different. It looks so sexy and fits him very well. The colors make it look painted on, wicked!

I love the morphing of the tribal into something that not ever frat boy has. The coloring is amazing.

This is beautiful. I second the request for healed picture. And feel the sudden need to add something to my — sadly — black tribals.

This is so beautiful. I’m not usually a fan of this style of tribal, but the colors [particularly the fades] are just amazing.

the color work is amazing, however at the end of the day it is still tribal. i would love to see more of the Thors work. if he can do that with trible im sure his other art work is amazing

Hah, this is my massage therapist! I saw the rib part when it was healed, the blending wasn’t that great and the white had faded. But the finished peice now looks much better, though I am curious to see how that white holds up.

I love hearing feedback on my brother’s tattoo work. I think he’s one of the great ones! Not too biased am I?
