I seriously just clicked this thinking it was one of those blurred images you post on occasion…..must be tired
Neat tattoo. Anybody that likes this should check out Nick Baxter’s work (of Transcend Tattoo in Connecticut). Other than his work just being amazing, he pretty much perfected this style (and as far as I know was one of the first to play around with the theme of partial pixelation).
I really like the concept.
IS it the picture or my eyes? Its an awsome lookin tat, but it looks like there is a blow out on the top right 1/4 black pixel. I could be just to stoned too…
i saw this done in a tattoo magazine years ago except it was a sleeve of autumn leaves. it was beautiful and i, sady, dont remember who the artist was.
Too bad green.plasticjen, I’d love to see that, as I have a great love for autumn leaves.
You must be talking about Nick Baxter, http://www.nickbaxter.com/
There’s tons of cool stuff in his gallery, including that autumn sleeve and more pixelated stuff. Sweet.
I really like this!
ooh i really like this, i think the colours are lovely too
Awesome! A tattoo that isn’t quite finished loading 🙂
Nick Baxter was the first thing I thought of, too. Though I knew right off the bat this wasn’t one of his, because, no offense, Nick’s work is better.
The heart is cute, though!
oooh pretty =)
the nick baxter stuff is freaking amazing by the way…
i love the pixalized work and ally is right nick baxter is AMAZING!
