I love the tattoo, but I’m really curious to see how it will look in a few years.

It’s so little! I think he’s going to wish he got it bigger…

i wonder if s/he understands the whole “montre” and impotence message that goes with this painting…

Or maybe, just maybe, s/he enjoys the aesthetics of the painting and doesn’t really care for art school pretentiousness 😉

Is this the guy who is famous for doing the art minature tattoos? (the tattoo artist) I think it’s a cool idea, but I’d honesty love to see what this guy can do with larger work. For example, a back piece of this painting would look much better IMHumbleO. Not to say the minature isn’t nice, just wonder why the artist only does minatures.

as a fellow dali tattooed person, i love it, but i really would love to see it bigger, but again, for the sheer size of it, the quality is amazing.

magic ink work, but I always get a little red flag when I see artists work copied for tattoos. I have my reservations about the morality of the subject matter, even though the work is lovely.
