The very talented Sergey Vojnov at Extreme Art in Saint Petersburg, Russia did this amazing coverup tattoo, based on Jeff Soto artwork. I see a ton of extremely high quality tattoo work coming out of Russia these days.

I’ve always love Jeff Soto’s style of art, it makes me really happy to see it translate so well on skin!

That’s incredible. I agree with Amber, I love the bubble border. I wonder if it had a bubble border on the original artwork, or if the tattoo artist added it? Either way, I’m in awe.

I have to agree with all of you. That is a very beautiful work of art. And the bubbles are extremely well done. If only every tattoo artist could do that as well as that guy did.

Hello everybody! I am the owner of this tattoo. Thank you all for these nice words! Sergey Vojnov is a really nice tattoo-artist!
Antares, the original artwork doesn’t have this background & border. We have changed it to make more perfect coverup.
Here is a link of the original artwork: http://2photo.ru/uploads/posts/1/20070606/jeff_soto/06_06_2007_0365728001181105967_jeff_soto.jpg
erin, wow 🙂 Can we see your back on photos? =)

That’s incredible.
I want to see what a tattoo like this would look like in 10-20 years time. Would it still keep some definition or will it just be a colourful splodge?
