Snake and foo dog full sleeve. Working around a hannya mask by another artist. The Foo Dog is a cover up of an abstract tattoo with red ink. You can see hits of the old tattoo if you look closely. I really like how this one came out! . . . #snaketat

Testimonials

  • “Last year I had the pleasure of getting a tattoo from Brian; I couldn't have been more thrilled with the experience and outcome. Brian demonstrated exceptional skill, professionalism, and creativity. He turned my vague idea into an amazingly beautiful work of art. The attention to detail and artistry is evident and I get compliments on this piece all the time. He makes the process comfortable and enjoyable with his positive attitude, not to mention his legit playlists! What I thought would be a single piece last year has turned into a full leg piece this year because I am so in love with the art. I highly recommend Brian to anyone looking for a talented and dedicated tattoo artist.”
