Spartan lion armor half-sleeve, black and grey

Finished this Spartan battle body armor tattoo on my friend Roger a little while back — but it deserves a proper shoutout. Over 20 hours of work went into this piece, combining details and textures inspired by antique silver artifacts and warrior symbolism. Big thanks to Roger for taking the pain like a true Spartan. Not everyone can sit through that kind of intensity, but you handled it like a champ every step of the way. One of my favorite large-scale pieces — a tribute to strength, discipline, and ancient grit. #SpartanTattoo #FullArmorTattoo #TattooArtist #TattooDedication #WarriorTattoo #AntiqueSilverInspiration #TattooPainChamp #TattooArt #BlackAndGreyTattoo #BestTattooArtistNH #TattooWork #KeeneTattooArtist #TattooLife #BattleReady #TattooSleeve #TattooHealedWell
