Triceratops Skull Tattoo

I looooove Cerah‘s triceratops chestpiece tattoo, in progress by Mark Lankin at Funhouse Tattoo in Vancouver, BC. This picture was taken after the second session.

    Wow, that looks so good. I haven’t seen many tattoos where your looking directly at the front of the subject like that, usually their on an angle showing some sort of profile. Its turned out really well, congrats to the artist and all involved.
