r/tattoo

Just finished this chest piece featuring a skull moth design in black and grey. The goal here was to keep a soft, natural texture in the wings while maintaining enough contrast for the skull to stand out as the focal point.

This kind of tattoo works really well for chest placement because of the symmetry. The wings follow the shape of the body, which helps the whole piece flow naturally instead of looking flat.

We focused on smooth shading and controlled detail so it heals clean and keeps its depth over time.

Custom piece based on another tattoo I did (a three-headed cat with red background lettering) with several adjustments to make a bigger difference between the two.

The client wanted to get specific features from the dogs, so that was my priority when drawing the sketch for this project.

I'm aware that refunds are rarely, if ever, given, but even an acknowledgment of a mistake would have been appreciated. Artist is established and I never saw any indicators of this in their other work.
