Traditional Chinese lion dance full sleeve. 

Thank you to my client Hannah for her trust. She flew to Los Angeles from other states twice. Each time, she worked with me for 2-3 consecutive days to complete this tattoo.

JapaneseMythical CreatureFull sleeve on the arm

Description

The tattoo features a fierce lion-like creature, often associated with protection in Japanese culture, depicted with an open mouth and flowing mane. Surrounding the creature are stylized clouds and traditional elements such as lanterns and swords, creating a dynamic composition that flows with the contours of the arm.

Technical Details

Line Work: Bold and intricate line work defines the features of the lion and surrounding elements, with varying thickness to create depth.

Shading: Soft shading techniques are used to give a three-dimensional effect, particularly in the mane and clouds.

Color Usage: Primarily black and grey, with subtle gradients to enhance the overall depth and texture.
