I’ve always loved dotwork tats, and now i think i’m in love. sigh… to bad there’s no amazing dotwork artists in australia, i guess i’ll have to save to go to the UK or Germany.. one can dream..
also seeing the before and after shots one after the other is amazing! it’s kept pretty much alll of its intensity and detail! *drools*
