Flew to LA to work with the incredibly talented @nlucastattoo and am absolutely blown away by his work. He did my left calf in one (long) session, including design, on 1/25/2025. Then we were back in the studio on 1/26/2025 to freshen up my right calf, a tattoo I got shortly after my dad passed back in 2014. Seeing Nik’s remarkable work come to life, on my dad’s birthday no less, was a truly poetic tribute. The right artist can transform your ideas into gorgeous ink. The best artists can transform your ideas into emotions. Nik is the best artist I’ve seen in this craft and an absolute master. What a wonderful experience this has been, cannot recommend his work and his shop enough. #tattoo #watercolor #tributetattoo #watercolortattoo #latattooartist #bodyart #calftattoo #nofilter #ink #needlemetimbers
