Wildlife

Lions, jaguars, bears, owls and Australian natives in black and grey realism. Animal pieces live or die on the eyes and the fur, so they’re built slowly over full days to get the depth right.

About wildlife tattoos

Wildlife realism is about the eyes first. Fur direction, light and the small reflections in an animal’s eye are what make it read as alive, and they’re the parts that take the most time. Most wildlife pieces here are black and grey, built up in soft layers so the contrast holds as the tattoo ages. [Dylan: add the animals you’d love to do more of.]
