I just love this sleeve of abstract Japanese forms (“one arm down, one to go”). The work is by Watson Atkinson at 13 Roses in Atlanta, Georgia. Normally when I post photos here I clean them up, fix the saturation, and so on, but in this case I’m presenting it as is, because I wanted to show just what a cool looking tattoo it is without you wondering whether maybe it was my editing that did it.
BME/News and Modblog highlight only a small fraction of what

Anyone have any idea how this might look faded? I’ve often though of getting something done that bright but I fear touch-ups every 6 months…

i LOVE Watson’s work. I’ve been trying to interview him for a while but he is a very busy man — you can see why!
