Giant Centipede Tattoo

[anthony k]

Hi,

I know it's a little off topic but wanted to share these pics as I am so pleased with it. This is my fab new tattoo of a Scolopendra sp. running from my elbow to wrist. I had it done two weeks ago in a single sitting and it has healed very nicely.

A massive thanks to the artist Joe Hill of Inky Joes Tattoos in Sudbury, Suffolk;

http://www.inkyjoestattoos.co.uk/

He is a great artist and this is by far my favourite tattoo, it healed with no scabbing etc and the colours are getting brighter by the day. Joe is more of a snake man and was kind enough to show me his very nice collection including a couple of scary looking retic pythons! He can be found on RFUK and is well worth paying a visit to if you fancy getting a new tattoo

The only problem I find when I get a new tattoo is that it just makes me want more, maybe a nice pokie portrait on the other forearm?.....

cool

Woah thats great! How long did it take to do?

That is some proper, stand-alone quality work right there.
And I'm pretty critical about what standard of "quality" people will put on people.

This is an awesome example of form, color, and finesse.

I bet his studio is like a dentists office.

Cheers guys, like I say I am very happy with it. Took seven hours but definately worth it.

He runs a very tidy studio and I went to him as he specialises in realism and is popular in the UK for some of the stunning snake tattoos he has done.

The shadowing really brings it out. I don't have any tats, but that one makes me want one!

I'm not a tat doood either but if I changed my mind, that'd be one to look at, almost looks like a real pede on your arm.

WOW! the highlights make it for me.:worship:

I want a few Tats. Im wanting a P. subfusca "highland" on my neck, but I just dont trust any of the artists around here to make it look real. I am not an abstract or cartoony guy, if i get something i want it to look EXACTLY like the Subject I ask for.

Also a nice M. robustum sleave would be kick ass too.

Either way, very nice piece!:clap: congrats

Very nice work. I like the shadows, the reflective light source, the accuracy all the way down to the tergites... freaking awesome.

I bet that cost a pretty penny i was thinkin about getting somethin glike that on my arm but i might just wait till i got some guap (money).. I really like the shadowing i got a tatt of a black widow with shading underneath it to make it look like its walking on my arm.
