Love that it's a lynx as opposed to the typical lion or tiger 😁

    The artwork is incredible, for sure, but how does something like this hold up over time? Is that going to look like a big fuzzy blob in 25-30 years?

    Interestingly, Riffard never considered tattooing as a career path. He has been drawing and painting since he was a child, but never professionally until a friend handed him a tattoo gun and sparked his career as a tattoo artist. Now, Riffard is considered as one of the world’s most gifted tattoo artists, drawing people from all over the world.

    One of my wishes is to visit Easter Island and see these absolut amazing rock statues/moais in real life! 🗿

    Surely not everyone would sign up for such a tattoo as creating these works of art can be quite a challenge, both in terms of the artistic process and the physical endurance required. Would you be brave enough to get one of these?

    I can't imagine how long this takes. You'd think with how rich it is the skin would protest that much packing in the saturation, but it all looks amazing and perfect. The void of the black actually feels like the depth of an abyss. I feel like I could run my hand over the skull and scales and feel the texture. The subtle play of light gives such a boost of contrast. This truly is a masterpiece. I could get lost in this one.

    I can't imagine some of the reactions this one may get, like at a doctor's office if you have to take your shirt off or something. I can picture kids flipping out at the beach if they saw this and all the moms clutching their pearls.

    It's a hospital grade absorbance pad (like after surgery) it absorbs excess ink, blood and plasma. You leak a lot when getting a tattoo, especially when it is so saturated.

    I feel like the proportions are a bit off on this one... The tattoos shown at the top are stunning but some of these aren't as good. But hey, I'm not here to judge people for what they want on their body 🤷🏼. Personally, I just don't like it as much as the others.
