Tony Nilsson, Blue Arms Tattoo, Oslo I think the craftsmanship on this piece is remarkable. I would have left the roses for sake of the story, but who can argue with how beautiful this thing is. - - - Updated - - - Here it is again

Dear Irezumi- You are right. Your original comment was the perfect example as to why I don’t participate in art forums because most people are clueless as to what goes into making a successful piece. It was a very simple question and I apologize for blowing your mind. The Virgin of Guadalupe is packed with symbolism that is pertinent to its structure and becasue of that I rarely see any great examples. I have personally drawn this image dozens of times over the past year and am yet to be pleased with any of them. I assumed tattoo fans would be more open to sharing their favoirte designs in hopes of aquiring some new view points that would help me with my interests in the subject. If you don’t know what I am talking about then you should probably not post anything. -John
