Belladonna

Quite a funny tattoo for the straight-edge kid to be doing: a rendition of a breed of Marijuana plant. The client was an incredibly nice guy who made me vegan pancakes, and who is a formerly militant animal-rights activist and all-around responsible human being. Hence this wasn't your typical juvenile glorification of substance abuse, and was quite fun and interesting to do. I tried to capture as much detail of the plant's natural crystals in the foreground portion of the piece. Done in Ireland at Triskele Tattoos.
