I would have untied the bikini for that shot. Beautiful wings though.
Crazy.
When I was a kid I wanted big wings like those.
With multicoloured rainbow feathers.
Stuck with that idea until, hmm, 5 months before my 18th birthday? And now I’m 22 and tattoo-less.
Hers are really pretty though, great detail.
i just don’t like tattooed wings.. can’t help it.
i really love the right one, but the way the left one is missing the centre portion of the bottom of the wing is really bugging me. :-/
Nice…would be look better if they were symmetrical though. I’m anal-I can’t stand asymmetry.
The left one is missing a feather because it’s on my thigh. The feather has fallen out on purpose!
derkaiser – i agree with you. they’re way over done. but at least its not a heartagram.
The detail on these is really great. Beautiful wings on a beautiful girl!
YAY MAE!!
I know Mink has put up with alot of “crap” to finall get these and has worked hard and earned EVERY inch of that tattoo’s dollar worth, which, for those who know, is in the very high range (understandibly) for Richard’s high quality work. I don’t know anyone who deserves angel wings more than she does. She’s really an amazing hard-working person and i’m so happy to see she got to show off her wings! I love them! Way to go Mae!
deet deet! yay mae!
Yay, it’s Mae!
“The left one is missing a feather because it’s on my thigh. The feather has fallen out on purpose!”
I actually didn’t know that. I thought it just wasn’t finished yet. Photograph the one on your thigh! I’ve never seen it!
Wish the 3 layers of feathers flowed together better, but not bad
Wow, the detail is really nice. Thanks to Mink for clarifying where the left feather is. That’s a really nice idea 🙂 I love tattooed wings.
I love them – and love that they’re asymmetrical! I’d love to see the whole thing with the feather on the thigh. Sounds wonderful.
(In general – I am *not* a fan of wings, but these are just so giant and wonderful that I can’t help it.)
Personally, I absolutely love large-scale wing tattoos. I think they’re beautiful, and I love seeing so many variations on one design. I’m guessing most people don’t like them because they’re done a lot? I can’t speak for everyone, but to me that seems like a silly reason for not liking a tattoo.
oh wow. i was going to say “its mae!” but a handful of people beat me to it… and she already knows that i think her wings are beautiful.
Oh I was wondering where that extra feather went!
And oddly enough it did cross my mind that it might be tattooed somewhere else.
Clever idea.
i like wing tattoos. i like them a lot. if i have the time and resources, they may be an option in the future.
I’m kinda addicted to angel wings, especially if they’re this well done. Nice detail and great idea with the missing feather.
Please post a picture with it.
agreed with #15.
Aww, I love Richard’s work. He did my heron which I am crazy pleased with.
Fabulous detail.. Love the wispy-ness of them. Wait, is wispy-ness even a word?
All I could think was “Keep that fucker out of the sun!”
