1. Holy shit, those are some awesome tattoos. I love ancient cave art but, for some stupid reason, I never considered any of it for a tattoo. That’s officially changed as of now.

2. Wow… I’m studying anthropology in school, so I know these pictures all too well, but i too would have never considered them for a tattoo!! Amazing!!!!

3. he looks happy, il like him

4. very unique.

5. best tribal ever!

6. this is reminding me that i haven’t finished my art history homework. :\
   like the tattoo a lot though 🙂

7. I was just thinking – hey, that one looks like the Uffington White Horse – and then I scroll down and find he’s from Wales! Cool beans.

8. He’s quite possibly the coolest Welshman i can think of.

9. I’m not usually a fan of tribal themed tattoos, but this is awesome!

10. Not a fan, but whatever makes him happy.

11. Wow I love it! It really does look just how the real cave art does. The tattoo artist did a great job!

12. It love the hairy handprints.

13. Thanks Roo!

    Apparently, hairy palms is a sign of madness. They’re actually my niece and nephews handprints in a traditional cave art style.

    Not a Welshman (sorry Telyn) but lived there for years. Visit often as Melanie is an incredible artist and life long friend.

14. He looks so friendly.
    I kinda want to give him a squeeze!
    😀

15. “Philosophy”?

16. they’re gorgeous!

17. I really love all the spirals

18. I’m not usually a fan of tattoos that fall under the umbrella of “tribal”, but this is pretty cool.

19. I think these are stunning. I personally wouldn’t put them under the “tribal” umbrella, though, because when I think “tribal”, I think of the overdone black armband thing. This goes so far beyond that.
    I particularly love the style of the spiral sun design on his back.

24. i LOVE the way they actually look like cave paintings; they have almost a watercolor feel to em… i really like this one; i LOVE anthropology and archaeology!

25. That blotchy quality in the solid black areas is why I hate black tribal work.

26. ^^^^
    but that’s why I love it – it looks like it’s always been there, rather than put on with black marker pen 🙂

27. This is so cool, I almost forgot it was a tattoo! excellent work.

28. LAMPETER YES I was dying not being able to find a decent artist around here and there’s a bus from Aber to Lampeter yesyesssssss.
