This pretty back piece — the shaded boxes being what really sets it apart from one of a zillion generic pieces — is being done by Chris Dingwell at Sanctuary Tattoo in Portland, Maine.

I absolutely LOVE this. a) it’s well executed, and b) it’s different. Not my style personally – I tend to go for more ‘literal’ images and try to stick to color, but I recognize and admire a good tattoo when I see one.

Wow! I really like that a lot! I am glad to see more of Chris’ work on here too! He’s a fantastic artist and if he’s given a bit of latitude in the design, can make mind-blowing work!

this IS well executed, but it also appears to have the aesthetic of a second cup wall or a hallmark thank you card…

I like this a lot. As others have pointed out, the design itself isn’t horribly unusual but it’s very different from the majority of abstract art tattoos, and looks pretty on the wearer.
