Skulls-N-Roses Tattoo

Over in Doncaster, UK, at Big Al's Tattoo Studio, Alan Turner(aka Big Al) is cranking out some sweet skull ink. This is a recent piece he did for a client who "came in with an idea of a skulls and roses half sleeve".



Okay, gang, I didn't get the moniker "Tatman" for my love of making lace so it should come as no surprise that I get the pleasure of bringing you this beautiful work of ink. It abides by one of the most basic tattoo rules- GET IT BIGGER! It looks like this is pretty freshly done so I'm sure those blacks will soften out to some warm shades of grey. Lovely work, Al. A skull by any other name would still smell like death.
