Forest piece to carry with me
I recently got this forest-themed tattoo and I'm mostly happy with it, despite my neurodivergent mind noticing some small details. I wanted to keep a piece of the forest with me always.

Dragon, Skull, and Lotus Symbolism
This intense, 28-hour full-color traditional Asian dragon piece wraps around a skull with blooming lotus flowers. I wanted to blend symbolism of life, death, and rebirth with a dynamic composition.

My Blue Lobster Companion
This blue lobster, inked by Matt Demers at Full Effect Tattoo in Troy, NY, represents my unique journey and resilience. It's a reminder that even the rarest things can be found and celebrated.

Tlaloc: God of Rain and Fertility
This tattoo of Tlaloc, the Aztec god of rain, storms, and fertility, is a powerful symbol of nature's force and life-giving power. It represents a deep connection to heritage and the cyclical nature of existence.

Completing the Sleeve Masterpiece
I finally finished my left sleeve with this incredible tattoo! I'm so happy to show off the amazing color work by Jean Yepes, an artist I've trusted for five years. He's located in Orlando, FL, and his illustrative style is truly exceptional.

Mysterious and misunderstood ink
I get a lot of negative reactions to this tattoo, with people calling it weird, dark, or even satanic. I'm curious to know what others think and if anyone can identify its reference.
