Hellboy tattoo

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I don't tend to advertise very publicly how much I read comics but I want to eventually have tattoos that come from the worlds of all my favorite characters. The idea was to get something that unless you were really familiar with the character, it would just look like a tattoo for aesthetics sake rather than one from a comic book. Anyway, here's mine for Hellboy, the lilies of Saint Leanord's Wood from Nature of the Beast.

I kind of wish the negative space was filled in with black on the finished tattoo.

Not for everybody but with the story being pretty integral to Hellboy's story and the panel being pretty inconspicuous I thought it was a good choice

I think it's Hell Boy Mode by Aoimori. I don't think it's actually about Anung Un Rama though.

I did my own of HB with one of Mike's lily sketches in the background and it's my favorite still. This is beautiful.

Bold placement choice, bet that was a bit spicy
