  7. Wow, so nicely done, and such a neat combination of realism and cartoon.

    I always find I like the initial linework best, even more than the finished tattoo (which obviously shows far much more skill in the art that the lines alone would) but it may just be the minimalist in me.

  9. I’m confused. So if the latter two photos are the chrysalid stage, are you implying that the outline is the pupal stage and the fully colored image is the “butterfly” stage — if you will. Or are you saying that the cocoon stage of a mermaid is a merely deficiency in skin (and scale) pigmentation?

  13. AMZAING WORK!

  15. it took me a while to realise that was a thigh and now i think i like it even more than if it were on an arm.
    looks great.

  27. The face/chest/arms look really good but like #7 I’m not sure on the perspective of the tail, but it is a difficult sort of angle to illustrate. It looks like maybe you should be able to see more of her torso below the chest to indicate the curve of the spine, rather than it looking like the tail joins straight into her armpits.

  37. Oh my, I dont understand much about tattooing, but something about drawning/art and that colouring and lining looks kind of.. hmm.. weird? But it’s still pretty and nice piece.
