When I first looked at this photo, I thought it was a drawing. The shading and stuff is incredible!

I think (though I may be very wrong) I read somewhere that Marc incorporates swastikas into every tattoo he does. Just wondering if thats true, because the vast majority do…

Wow!!! That is absolutely amazing!
katy prost on October 21, 2008 at 7:23 pm said:

i think part of the shading looks like swastikas. its quite clear by the eyes (where the shading is more solid) only they make the shape but they have an extra little ‘leg’?

Some day I’ll be able to get a tattoo from that studio.

CrimShuffle on October 22, 2008 at 12:26 am said:

The pattern shading is rad. Also the messy lines around the figure are awesome. Huge and super.
Vera on October 22, 2008 at 12:52 am said:

I love the crosshatching in this. Such a pretty tattoo.
JMaslar on October 22, 2008 at 1:36 am said:

Amazing; one of the top 5 tattoos I have ever seen.
Sarah on October 22, 2008 at 3:04 am said:

Marc recently guest spotted at a studio about an hour from where I live, but I can’t afford any work right now, I’m SO disappointed. This is absolutely beautiful, and one day I WILL get myself over there and have some work done by him. So so gorgeous.

That’s freaking amazing. I especially love that sketchy black work look.
Bonnie on October 22, 2008 at 5:38 pm said:

i think i see swastikas in the shading part, or at least they resemble an abstract swastika… I LOVE this tat! and i like Ganesha…This is an amazing piece of art!
molly delilah on October 22, 2008 at 6:45 pm said:

this is absolutely breathtaking. I’ve wanted a Ganesha tattoo on my back for a long time. Seeing this one makes me want one even more although I can’t see how it would turn out as fantastic.
Killaya on October 22, 2008 at 11:38 pm said:

Holy. Hell.

That is absolutely gorgeous.
starless_dark on October 23, 2008 at 3:48 pm said:

Damn you Killaya, you said _exactly_ what I was going to say. Literally. It’s freaky.

I’d love a piece by Marc. I should save up til my year abroad next year in merry old Deutschland.
