Jamaica?
No, she did it of her own accord.

Anyway, this in progress sleeve and shoulder piece is the hard work of Darlene DiBona, Fat Ram’s Pumpkin Tattoo, Jamaica Plains, MA.
It’s also the brainchild and on the skin of iam:Skod.

Groan…bad pun Roo
But awesome tattoo!
Oh man that is going to look so good when it’s done.
i dont get the joke.
please explain
but liking the tattoo
Ralex – Jamaica = Did ya make ‘er?
Say it fast (it’s a veeeeery old and equally bad joke).
Are you Jamaican? Cos Jamaican me crazy.
You were winging it a bit there Roo.
very bad joke but a good one at the same time.
loving the ink!
love the guy in the background xD
it’s going to be awesome.
holler at JP!!
Love the work, love the studio.
Love all around!
May I just say, that while this is entirely unrelated I really adore the use of the word ‘accord’ here.
I’m excited to see it when it’s finished!
beautiful.
and Roo, you’re amazing 😀
Love the D’yer Mak’er reference. 😉
havent seen a wing sleeve before, looking forward for the end product.
I live a few blocks away from there, Also I think some college students right near by where I attend took some footage and told me that they were doing a sleeve, I think it may be the same one. I have to check the tapes.
Woah, that’s just awesome. I love it ^.^
Heh. Is it bad that I’m more amused by the reflection in the mirror? Tattoo looks good, can’t wait to see it finished. (:
Rich Mans Drug – Don’t worry, I was too.
Great work!!! That is one awesome piece. I can’t wait to see it all finished.
FRPT is an awesome place. My good friend and myself both got our tattoos together there. Andrew (who I believe is making that weird/funny face in the second photo) did our tattoos. I have a TMNT (any fan will know what that means 😉 ) on my outer left calf. Leonardo to be exact 🙂 hehe. I love it. Such awesome work. He is one incredible artist let me tell you. I don’t mean to boast but that’s just how I feel haha. I will definetily be going back there to get more ink BELIEVE me haha.
i’m more and more amazed by modblogs timing, I discussed a simalair project with a customer last monday….
it rocks…!
lolwings
I’m looking forward to seeing more on this. It’s looking great so far, flows great with the arm.
I really like this.
i don’t know if that is a mirror, but a doorway, notice the door hangy beads?
i love this, such an amazing idea.
i always see things and i think, why didn’t i think of that first?!?
This is one of the nicest wing sleeve designs I’ve seen. Although I love how it comes down the arms, I reckon the end product would look kinda weird in a skinny wing way. Then again, nice break from too many back wing pieces. (Though I’m still thinking about getting one… =P)
I know, I is a talking contradiction.
You can now find Darlene at her own shop in Brookline, MA! It is called Odyssey Wellness Tattoo, check out her website at https://odysseywellnesstattoo.com
