This tattoo — which must look great in person where you can see it move, and I think will age really nicely (because it’s heavy and simple) — was done by Vern (“The Mad Hatter”) at Backdoor Studio in Sacramento, California. I wish I could post a video of this tattoo in motion — if you have a big tattoo, I’d be thrilled if you could send us a video of how it moves on your body… You can send them to Roo at [email protected] (let him know it’s for ModBlog if you do).

This would have been alot nicer looking if executed well, it almost looks like three different people did it,
one doing the wings with really shaky line work and not enough detail
the second doing the body and they did an ok job on it for it’s size
and the third doing the tail and doing an amazing job on it.
My girlfriend is an artist and she draws lots of birds so I know the amount of attention and detail it takes to get feathers to look true to life and I think whoever did the tail did a good job on it

It reminds me of the band Extol’s album cover!

I doubt the concept could be done effectively without heavy abstraction.
Using a realistic eagle just isn’t working.
