Custom collage of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice poem (1797), a spine from an old medical illustration, Mother Mary, and an Albatross from an antique picture book. This took two sessions. We finished the lettering, the frame for the eye, and the albatross in the first session. Then, we went back into that frame to add the eye, we added the spine, and touched up the lettering/darkened some shading in the bird. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #blackwork #blackworktattoo #blackandgrey #blackandgreytattoo #stippletattoo #pointalismtattoo #mothermary #mothermarytattoo #albatross #albatrosstattoo #bonestattoo #spinetattoo #sorcerersapprentice #wilmingtonnc #wilmingtontattoo #nctattooers #femaletattooartist #ladytattooers
