Got a really great start the other day on this soon ti be wildly abstract floral octopus 3/4 sleeve! The original floral tattoo was based on watercolor paintings by Scottish architect, Charles Rennie Mackintosh. We’re only partially covering that stuff up with the octopus. Much of the flowers will be kept and updated, and also incorporated into the coloring of the octopus, which will end up looking semi-transparent! With more flowers to be added as we need them. It’s a fantastic undertaking, and absolutely one-of-a-kind. I’m so grateful every day for dedicated, creative, and open minded clients! #maine #tattoo #tattooartist #tattooshop
