HOLY SHIT.
Wow.
Spectacular
I love Marc’s work, there is nothing in this world that compares, at least through my eyes.
absolutely stunning.
Damn, I think I want to save space somewhere to have work done by them, its incredible
I HAVE to get a tattoo done at the swastika freakshop. That dude’s work is just incredible.
WOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
amazing!
this is completely amazing. DAMN.
Wa wa we wa!
When I first looked at this photo, I thought it was a drawing. The shading and stuff is incredible!
I think (though I may be very wrong) I read somewhere that Marc incorporates swastikas into every tattoo he does. Just wondering if thats true, because the vast majority do…
Wow!!! That is absolutely amazing!
i think part of the shading looks like swastikas. its quite clear by the eyes (where the shading is more solid) only they make the shape but they have an extra little ‘leg’?
I love it, I want one!!
ive got to have one..
oh shit dude! thats amazing
I think this is one of my favorite tattoos I have seen on here thus far.
So amazing!
Some day I’ll be able to get a tattoo from that studio.
Incredible.
Excuse me but adfasdfasdfasdfasdfasfdasdfasdf oh my goddddddd.
And 13 and 15 – look up towards his neck.
#13 Kim – I was just wondering the same thing.
………..I am in awe
I cannot believe how much this speaks to me. I am enamored…
The pattern shading is rad. Also the messy lines around the figure are awesome. Huge and super.
I love the crosshatching in this. Such a pretty tattoo.
Amazing; one of the top 5 tattoos I have ever seen.
Marc recently guest spotted at a studio about an hour from where I live, but I can’t afford any work right now, I’m SO disappointed. This is absolutely beautiful, and one day I WILL get myself over there and have some work done by him. So so gorgeous.
wow thats one piece of amazing artwork incredible!
wow indeed. The masterpiece.
just wow…
i love this!!!!!!
this has got to be the best depiction of ganesha in ink that i’ve seen in a reeeaaally long time.
awesome!
motherfuckingswastikafreakshop! wow… the thing i love about these pieces is that as soon as you see one, you INSTANTLY know who did it. awesome work
I <3 Ginsberg
gorgeous
wauw! I love the stripes on the sides!
That’s freaking amazing. I especially love that sketchy black work look.
i think i see swastikas in the shading part, or at least they resemble an abstract swastika… I LOVE this tat! and i like Ganesha…This is an amazing piece of art!
this is absolutely breathtaking. I’ve wanted a Ganesha tattoo on my back for a long time. Seeing this one makes me want one even more although I can’t see how it would turn out as fantastic.
Holy. Hell.
That is absolutely gorgeous.
Damn you Killaya, you said _exactly_ what I was going to say. Literally. It’s freaky.
I’d love a piece by Marc. I should save up til my year abroad next year in merry old Deutschland.
that’s just.. woahhh.
fucking AMAZING!!! i love these guys. Their work is incredible!
BUMMMMMMM crack.
