After all, you can’t go wrong with solid black.

The thing about this tattoo that makes me chuckle is that my boyfriend did something similar in biro when he was bored the other day 😀
It’s nicely done though 🙂

I love the geometric nature of the hand tattoo. The white ink is stunning as well, considering white ink doesn’t always show too well. The blackwork sleeve goes perfectly with the hand tattoo as well (I love blackwork). As for the swastika it is a hindu symbol and a japanese one as well, but it isn’t really a true swastika. Either way, great work.

Hand tattoos usually have a tendency to look pretty cheesy I think, but wow this one was just beyond great, really good work!

I love that tattoo, especially how the thumb and pinky were left untouched.

Anyone know if the white ink was done by the same artist? I’d like to get some done and am based near London. Have also seen work from this artist before and really love it.

#18, Ideulogy, swastickas have been used for thousands of years by many different cultures before the nazis came around and hi-jacked it, buddhists have a ton of different symbols where it’s used, so I think odds are he is’nt a nazi…or is he

Amazing!!!!
Amazing!!!!
Thanks Shannon! Thats all i needed to hear!
And #42… thankyou for that. It’s not like that was my entire basis for not instantly jumping to the conclusion that he’s a nazi… -or was it?

For a split second I thought that was you, Shannon, ’till I realised the whole lack-of-triangular extensions from the blackwork (as well as inside of it). Can’t think of which arm you have that on either..
Haha, boo to me.
Absolutely amazing tattoo though, I love how it’s so well-executed, as far as the straightness of lines and everything goes. I’d imagine a hand would be pretty hard to be so stable on, given the lack of very much fat at all and all the tendons, etc. Major props.

I have some serious work by Thomas and I find Ideuology or whatever the fuck they call themselves totally offensive, suggest you look up the true meaning of swastikas, I should know I am covered in reverse swastikas all the way down the left hand side of my chest in a pagan arrow…….. moron……
