They are similar but is it a copycat? It’s such an organic design, I can see how it could be duplicated many times over unintentionally.

Wow, that’s beautiful. For me, personally, I think it would flow better if the top black part continued the pattern and wasn’t filled in. Very nice 😀

I personally don’t like the negative space he’s left in the tattoo. It would look so much better fully filled in. He might be going back to get it filled I hope.
