Looks awesome, you definately have quite a talent there danktat. Are portraits something you do often? That one turned out great. I never get tired of looking at tattoos. Thanks for the pic, Jon

Yes. I specialize in them so I get a good amount of people coming in to get them.

That is the most challenging thing about black and grey work is to determine how it will look AFTER it heals and compensate at the time of the tattooing.
