We’ve featured this beautiful Chris Dingwell backpiece before in a more unfinished state and hot holy damn, it is looking tremendous. The cloud effect, which was discussed at length in the previous post, is much clearer now, the classical-style nudes are a great touch, and the birds on her shoulder are a lovely addition as well. Hopefully we’re kept in the loop if this goes any further!
(Tattoo by Chris Dingwell at Sanctuary Tattoo in Portland, Maine.)

Absolutely stunning back piece. I’m in love with the bird section.
Have to agree on the breast of the female figure, it kinda stands out in the bad way, it also bothers me a little that they don’t have the feet 🙁
