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.

simply amazing
Almost looks fake, very cool fade.
Generally not a fan of tribal tattoos, but this one is very nicely done. I’m impressed.
definitely not big on tribals, but this is very nice.
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.. haven’t ever really been a fan of tribal work
I need something like this. It’s amazing.
that is a very nice tattoo – i assume it’s fresh – and if the wearer is reading this….send in a healed photo as well! i am curious to see what it will look like….
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
I like this one. The blue is good.
Thor’s a beast! Love his artwork! :D
Still remember my first time meeting him at my old apartment building hahaha
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.
now that is cool!
i love that more people are puting thourght into their tribal work. this is rad
i’m not a huge fan of tribals, but that’s gorgeous! The boy is lovely too! ;-) And is that also some white ink work done on his ribs? It looks like kanji…
i guess no one thats commented on this is from texas, thats a UT beltbuckle, nice!
I think that boy is wearing eyeliner. I approve.
gosh, i love it!
not a tribal lover, but looks nice!
Now that is a belt buckle…I mean tribal.
That’s pretty.
Nice tattoo!
Pretty colors and a cute guy too!
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?
wow thats beautiful..with blue fading to white…love to see the healed version
