NEW TATTOO ON ME
11:08:00 PM
Around 10 months ago I had stayed at the Benjamin hotel in NYC and saw this great owl sculpture in the lobby. There were several of them, all were super old and had tons of character. Then saw this photo of the guy with the sword and the banner.
I had this idea of making this owl into the brass handle to a vintage dagger and incorporate it into the piece.
I sketched up the below sketched up the left image and gave to my friend SEAN...
He turned it into a super rad tattoo. Was great, as it was right up his alley.
I am super happy with it. Even my friends who dislike tattoos are stoked on this one.
Sean is a progressive dude, pushing "all things art" in Saint Louis. I took some photos through out the session, some of which you can see below. Look for big things coming from Sean in the near future round these parts.
