    Hey Will has his own shop in Seattle now called Cicada Tattoo, check it out! Also I believe his name is Will Bodnar, not “bolnar”!

    The tattoo is floral, and many people are allergic to pollen.

    Big tattoos on girls is super hot.

    it’s about time someone took art, real art, and applied it to tattoos. black outlines are elementary.

    Beautiful flower tat, although kinda strange choice for a kanji tat … house?

    It did distract away from the entire beauty of it unfortunatly, although she also should be very proud to have such a beautiful body.
