Wasp Tattoo Photo #18711

Bees get all the love - community, honey, golden warmth. The wasp gets respect instead: sharp, territorial, fearless relative to its size, and absolutely willing to sting more than once.

Achieving lifelike results in skin requires mastery of light, shadow, and color blending. Realistic tattoos often look three-dimensional, with subjects appearing to emerge from the skin surface.

Calf tattoos benefit from a muscular canvas that gives designs depth and presence. The flat rear surface works well for portraits and detailed work, while wrapping designs follow the leg's natural shape.
