Bleeding Roses tattoo done by Art Gallardo

This image comes from a Salvador Dali, painting, called The Bleeding Roses. Being a huge Dali fan, i was really exited to do this tattoo. I had to free hand draw this image on to the hand with some tattoo pens. Then i went to town, mixing all the different tones of Red. Awesome piece.

So, this customer comes in with an image of a skull/bubble gum. And says, "i am the biggest Lady Gaga fan, this is an image from her merchandise. but could you make it better like a little more 3D? My customer was very happy with how it came out. The only down side is that i had to listen to Lady Gaga almost the entire tattoo.

These guys finish off a customer of mine's lower sleeve. This is the reason why some parts seam to be cut off. The faces came out amazing, considering how small the tattoo is. The one on the right i got to look like Emilio Zapata, which my customer really loved. I have a lot of fun when i get to do some black and grey,
VIVA LA REVALUCION!!
